The 2nd Test between Pakistan (408 & 304/9) & NZ (449 & 277/5d) ends in a draw - Series drawn 0-0

[Asif321]

I think 8 overs Atleast we will get

 

[Zeshan547]

Nothing stupid here and we can win this.

But that's not how we roll here buddy.

 

[90MPH]

It’s a good comeback considering Pakistan were 80/5. New Zealand got too defensive after tea.

If they get a wicket they are into the tail and Pak can quickly collapse. They have to take the new ball otherwise they are bottling it.

However Pak have them on the ropes at this stage.

 

[Asif321]

52 in minimum 8 overs now

 

[imshally81]

I think we are in dominating position... First time in the season...

 

[Aman]

This is terrible captaincy from southee
Much worse than babar's

Pak should chase this with a few overs remaining

Southee was a bad choice.

Everyone was shocked Latham wasn't named captain. Seemed like the natural choice. Regardless, Latham will probably be captain by the end of the year.

No chance we're getting anything against England and the Southee experiment will be over.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Scott Styris makes a very interesting point. Has there been no reading taken throughout the test match? If that's the case then they will probably let players stay for the full one hour as there is no benchmark available!

 

[Zeshan547]

we will get max 7 overs i think, so still around 7 runs per over, shouldn't be too hard as all momentum is with Pak.

At this point, I hope you win it from here.

Don't want to see Southee captaining NZ in any format.

 

[Seen Sheen]

NZ is controlling the over-rate though. They will keep slowing things down until they get a wicket and then they will become more proactive.

 

[imshally81]

New ball is available

 

[Hectic]

The light situation means there are only 5-6 overs remaining. Time to hit out.

 

[Rana]

Waqar: "Hats off to this man"

Dude, you were part of the group that screwed him over 3 years ago

 

[Asif321]

49 more boys

 

[Asif321]

7 overs minimum

 

[Aman]

Southee vs Babar is the Einstein vs Newton of bad captains.

 

[Zeshan547]

Draw from this scenario would be hard to take for Pak.

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Waqar: "Hats off to this man"

Dude, you were part of the group that screwed him over 3 years ago

he was rightfully dropped for his bad performances

he's rightfully back now

 

[Asif321]

Nz trying to slow the game

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Sarfaraz was always better in test format. Pakistan is known for dropping players from wrong format.

 

[RyanRyan10]

New Zealand is wasting time

 

[Aman]

Sun is starting to set, another 5-6 overs you'd think.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Agha will go for a big hit.

 

[Asif321]

Highest test score for Sarfraz

 

[Seen Sheen]

He was looking for the length to go big, just checked the shot in the last moment.

 

[Aman]

Pakistan need to be looking at 10s an over. Can't see light holding up another 45 minutes.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan will fall short

 

[Seen Sheen]

Even though as a fan, I would be over the moon with a Pakistan win but considering the brand of cricket we have played and how pathetic the team has performed over the course of last 8 home tests under the listless captain, don’t think they deserve the win.

 

[Asif321]

Agha gone and that’s it

 

[90MPH]

NZ back in it.

Big wicket. It’s a 50/50 right now.

 

[Aman]

Pakistan should still keep going for it. 40 isn't much.

Should shut up shop after 8.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Stage set for a Hasan Ali cameo

He should go for it

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

2 good overs of 10-15 will put the thunderflash up them kiwi pants

 

[JibranAnsari]

Salman gone.

Nzs chance to wrap it up.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Knew that was coming, poor option once again. Slog across the line and NZ will wrap things up now.

 

[Asif321]

Good little innings though .

 

[Desi Don]

oh boy Agha Salman, out Bowled

 

[Abdullah]

Pakistan can not win this - but NZ can by going to spinners in 4-5 overs.
Hasan Ali needs to put a price on his wicket

 

[Aman]

NZ back in it.

Big wicket. It’s a 50/50 right now.

Get Hasan to hit out.

If he fails, shut up shop.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Hasan the destroyer will seal it for Pak.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Agha gone, can't see are tail lasting long here

 

[Rana]

Big wicket

47 to win

Go on Hassan Ali get these runs brother!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan need to save the match. Not enough time for runs. Enough time for 3 wickets.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Salman goes, with it the chances of Pakistan winning are dramatically reduced

Just need to hang in there and not lose though I don't trust Hasan Ali to do much

 

[Seen Sheen]

Blind slogger has come to the crease when he really should have been demoted to number 11.

 

[Asif321]

What time they go off usually ?

 

[Rana]

Pakistan should have sent Shan as the night watchman

Hamza could have been saved in order to block out if needed now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sodhi will bowl the next over

 

[Zeshan547]

it's OK, Just go for it, specially until Hassan is their with sarfraz, it's ideal time for Hassan Ali to play his slogger game, sarf should try to just take single and be their till end. And shut shop if Hassan doesn't come off.

 

[shah_1]

cross batted slog

 

[90MPH]

Pakistan should still go for the win. Holding for a draw is pointless when you can see the finishing line so close.

 

[greatest]

Hassan Ali can hit a few. We are still in the game.

 

[Kianig89]

Stop the shop moral victory for Pakistan can't take the pain of another series defeat hopefully sanity will prevail

 

[bones]

Very very interesting.

 

[Rana]

Lets back Hassan here

He will be positive

 

[SamNJ]

Southee doesn't even have close fielders for Hassan Ali.
cowardly captain

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Pakistan should have sent Shan as the night watchman

Hamza could have been saved in order to block out if needed now

lmao

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz fuming at agha

 

[JibranAnsari]

Really poor shot by agha

 

[shah_1]

Saud's poor innings has cost us the game. What is the point of drawing a game

 

[PakPremi]

Whenever Hasan Ali comes to bat consider Pakstan loss . Abrar should had come in.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Horrible shot there by Agha. This was the last shot that should have been tried against a reverse swinging ball.

 

[Aman]

It's getting dark.

No way there's more than 5 overs left here.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Hassan Ali can hit a few. We are still in the game.

If we are relying on him then you know the game is gone, he's brainless

 

[Aman]

Horrible shot there by Agha. This was the last shot that should have been tried against a reverse swinging ball.

Intent was right, shot was bad.

It's getting dark and the game could be called in 4-5 overs.

 

[Asif321]

Saud's poor innings has cost us the game. What is the point of drawing a game

We might have lost already had Saud not stayed

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hasan will play his usual dumb shot at somepoint

 

[Aman]

If we are relying on him then you know the game is gone, he's brainless

A quickfire 20 here could be match winning.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Excellent decision by Sarfaraz, refusing the single; can't trust that hopeless hack with even one delivery.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Thus is the most difficult time to bad. Nit good visibility for batsmen

 

[Aman]

Regardless of the result.

Think everyone can agree both teams are mid of the table.

 

[Zeshan547]

sarfi na kar yar, atleast single tu lo.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Southee is just another 130 kmph trundler , just like sir bhuvi hadlee...
he's toast unless he is bowling in helpful NZ conditions

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz back with his cramp

 

[shah_1]

Sarfraz is such an unfit player

Needs to work on himself

 

[Markhor]

Hasan Ali hasn't done justice to his batting in Tests - he scored a hundred in the 2020-21 QEA Trophy Final in a chase of 355.

 

[MenInG]

Sarfraz is such an unfit player

Needs to work on his himself

This has always been the problem

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

A quickfire 20 here could be match winning.

Could but he's not doing that in a test match

 

[RyanRyan10]

Because of boring Saud Shakeel, this will end in a draw

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shoukdbt have taken the sinhle.s
