The bowlers have done their bit - this Pak top order has to click!
 
nicely set up, weekend tomorrow. Insha Allah it will be worth staying up to watch the proceedings
 
What a gameeeeeeeeeeeeee; 251 to get only Pak can lose it from here, if they bat sensibly this is an easy 1-0 series lead for Pak.....

I know we all would've really liked if he got the final one but atleast he's done his bit on his test return after 2 years with 8 wickets in the match and now InshahAllah the match can be won from here if the batting clicks!
 
yeah this is test cricket. i love these low scoring games (250-300). real contest between bat and ball. i hate 600+ scores. this game will make for compelling viewing. c'mon shane bond, lets see some stumps flying!

InshAllah. I'm knackered but the thought of victory and :umarakmal batting would be hard to suppress. InshAllah we will get the victory.
 
The ball seems to be doing something. Is 250 too hard or should it be comfortable?

I think this is the hardest test for our batsmen. We SHOULD get to this if our batting is good (or decent). If not, we should lower our standards with regards our batting.
 
Farhat owes Pakistan bit time.. he needs to get a solid 50 at least, although I'm not particularly holding my breath.
 
The opening partnership is absolutely crucial. I have a feeling Manzoor will get a 50 :)

The ball is reversing a bit,nothing alarming....good news for pak batsmen is that pitch has died out,so they wont face the chin music from 007 like they faced in 1st inns
 
Have to see off Bond's spells. Pay special attention to every delivery of his.
 
Farhat is a disaster waiting to happen - he thinks he is playing T20
 
Farhat won't last long. He went fishing first and then hit the ball in the air.
 
Farhat - playing for the win or to cement his place in the next test?
 
lift your head and swing your bat...what a player Imran Farhat. He wasn't watching the game and learning from Umer Akmal and NZ first inning
 
That shooted up from a length a bit awkward

Manzoor wanted to set off for a run - This thing really looks stupid when there is no run they show intent of setting off for one!
 
89 overs remaining. That means N.Z will have another crack with the new ball, if the game gets that far.
 
Ian Smith - now thats what you call 'sitting on the fence'!!

Scathing in his criticism of Kiwis!
 
I think Pakistan have a plan here. Get bond tired and take him out of the attack, and then go after the others.
 
Bloody hell Khurram does not have the right balance at the crease to even play a front foot defensive shot.
