Looks like we may not lose a wicket but these guy tomorrow need to put the paddle to the mettle.
 
I like Masood. Future captain if he can cement a spot in the side.
 
Good ball but poor shot.

Too much gap between bat and ball, seems lost against spin.
 
Nice shot Azaar.

NZ will be on top of they get 1 more wicket today.
 
Following this on cricinfo but can anyone confirm if its spin much? otherwise Masood sounds like he was all over the place agains the leggie!!
 
Well I didnt expected shan and taufeeq to last that long anyways.

If you have seen his 1 inning he is hyped about you can see what quality of batsman he is. He lived on edges and was all at sea against SA attack. On the flip side Kurram played better inning who is dropped now but he is in.
 
Time for :azhar to score big and up that average.
He should average above 45
 
Big wicket. What was Taufeeq thinking ?

Anyway Pakistan in big trouble.
 
As expected

both openers to have gone by today

If YK is out then NZ will be very happy with the day, big total and Pak top batsman gone and Pak having to chase a large total
 
Masoods selection was stupid. Taufeeq has shown it time and time again, Masood is living off a 70 against SA, which for those who recall, he did have chances as well, so it was by no means this flawless innings that people make it out to be. Should have brought Harris in and opened with Azhar. Think tank as usual a step behind.
 
now big task ahead of Pakistan and middle order need to bat and bat tomorrow.

I think they wont chase the total. I think they'll try and get as close as they can if they lose anymore wickets. Still long way to go but NZ in the driving seat!
 
There's only 1 team winning from here.

Pak will have to play out of their skin just to draw.
 
Stumps.

NZ on top.

Critical and match defining day tomorrow for both teams.
 
Shan Masood is a Pathetic opener

I would have taken half fit Hafeez instead of Taufeeq

and Harris should have played in middle order

Still think we can win, with our batting form of late if we bat till end of day 4 (big ask but can be done) we should have a lead of around 100-150.

However now we just need to bat and bat and than bat some more
