[Big Mac]

Looks like it might be high

 

[akamaka]

good ball that

 

[saiyan0312]

OHH COME ON!!!!

Clipping and umpires call

 

[Justcrazy]

Review , looks high

Not out .... as I said.[emoji41]

 

[hussain.r97]

Knew it would be umpires call in some way

 

[Justcrazy]

Both teams poor with review.

 

[hussain.r97]

Cannot play a bowler in all formats.

Sit him out of most T20s then, and manage him in the ODIs properly, he's a valuable bowler in both formats.

 

[Justcrazy]

Beautiful shot.

 

[saiyan0312]

taylor drives it well and lead is 162

 

[akamaka]

Taylor unstoppable from ball 1 this innings.

That has to be told to coach , unfortunately , it is Waqar. [emoji52]

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead has swelled to 165.

 

[dhump]

We need to get 1 more wicket before stumps. I think NZ just saved the test again by some aggressive batting today and pressure is back on Pakistan to survive on day 5.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 30 runs.

 

[Gollum]

Need to get Taylor TODAY!

There lower order has always been good .

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Babar still can't spin the ball...

 

[Bullet Drive]

Cant win now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar still can't spin the ball...

He has never been a huge turner of the ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Light getting murky.

 

[dhump]

There lower order has always been good .

exactly that is why... I mean they will easily post 300 here and may be more Taylor is playing positive cricket. Pakistan will hardly go for the chase and likely be able to save the match as draw, but Pakistan winning seems like a highly unlikely result.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to find an express bowler , it should be a target.

 

[Justcrazy]

Umpired worried about light.

 

[Justcrazy]

Spinners bowling should not matter a lot.

 

[Ahson8]

Would be nice to have another wicket today.

Ideally Taylor.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should prepare a mine field for next test.

 

[Justcrazy]

Umpires again checking light metre.

 

[Justcrazy]

Beautiful sun set .....

 

[Justcrazy]

So , spin from both ends.

 

[Justcrazy]

Beauty by Yasir.

 

[Ahson8]

Taylor has been a nuisance.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Taylor 75 not out.

 

[dhump]

taylor too lucky today.

 

[Big Mac]

Wow, Watling gone.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Beauty from Yasir.

Whatta ripper

 

[m.shah]

Gone

 

[Ahson8]

Late wicket setting it up nicely.

Why is it stumps ? Is the light really that bad. Could have completed the over atleast :vaughan

 

[Aman]

Excellent day of cricket.

 

[Aman]

I don't think we should declare after the first session if we're still batting. Chasing 250 in 2 sessions will actually make Pakistan consider chasing it down, there's very small chance of us taking 10 wickets in 60 overs.

 

[khalil1986]

Intersting final day of cricket could go either way.

 

[Ikball]

Pakistan will win untilll lead goes beyond 250.

You will have a good chance, pressure and Pak batsman do go well together.

I reckon you make another 50 runs and you will have more than a decent chance and anything close to 250 than too much time will be taken out of game.

 

[Stark]

Just been catching up on cricinfo..
What time to bag a wicket. Well done YS.

Game poised nicely.

If you can get 250 lead, rest assure Pakistan wont go for win

 

[Aman]

20 a piece from Craig, Southee, Ish and Boult will do nicely here.

 

[Ahson8]

Taylor, Sodhi and Craig are guys to be wary of. Hopefully we can get the rest of the wickets in the 1st session tomorrow and limit them to < 250.

Then go for it.

 

[hur rizvi]

Might actually be a blessing in disguise for NZ if they get dismissed and give Pakistan a chasable target, which will put ressure on Pakistan [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]

 

[hur rizvi]

If I put my neutral hat on (Though I am not) I would want NZ to get dismissed with lead of 220-225 and give Pakistan to chase that in 70 overs, that would put much more pressure on them than chasing target of say 260 in 55 overs where they would resort to playing for draw
