I wonder how the fern will cope with Southee if he gets out cheaply and “irresponsibly”

His first test innings as captain will be compulsory viewing.

( says someone without sky and who will be in bed most likely )

Shockingly irresponsible batting from Southee.

Nothing new there he has been doing it for years.

[Chris]

Throwing wickets away now for no reward.

Probably the better bet might have been for Wagner to feed Williamson the strike.

Yep agree totally.

[No Quarter]

Tail enders are not good enough to attempt reverse sweeps

[Rapido]

Looks like scoring quicker is a bit harder than just 'deciding it should be so'.

Couldn't the captain and Wags hang on to help Kane get to 200?

[canefan]

Kane should go for 200 then we should declare or have a whack

[No Quarter]

Fantastic innings from Kane

[canefan]

Kane gets a 4 to move to 199 then takes a single to get 200 and that's that. Let's have a crack at them now

[canefan]

Bracewell better show his value with the ball in the second innings because right now he looks like a waste of a spot

[Chris]

Excellent innings by Kane great to see.
First test hundred away from NZ for 4 years.

[Chris]

3 wkts in this session and Pakistan are in all sorts of trouble.
The Pakistan openers get through to stumps it will be a tough day for NZ tomorrow.

@No-Quarter said in NZ v Pakistan:

Pakistan don't have a great batting lineup, we just need to get Babar early and we'll have them in all sorts of trouble on the 5th day. Agree though I expected the pitch to break up a bit more by now.

I agree that Pakistan don’t have a great batting lineup. But we don’t have a great bowling lineup either.

[sparky]

Pakistan 51-1. 123 behind.

I went to bed. Thank me in the morning.

[Chris]

71-2 Sodhi bowling really well using that rough area outside the left handers off stump.

[sparky]

77-2 at the close. Great day for the Black Caps.

[MN5]

Losing the captaincy seems to agree with KW so far ( even if his replacement showed gross ill discipline )

Average shot up again to 54.05. I love that, both Root and Kohli below 50 now and getting a double ton overseas should shut up the fuck you bloody crowd a bit……

Mitch Santner Mark II.

32 wickets in 98 first class matches barely qualifies as a part timer. Bring back CDGH !!!!!
