NZ v Pakistan 2022/23

[Damo]

4 runs in 3 overs after drinks.

I agree with Doull that we don't appear to be trying to win this test.

It’s pretty negative atm.

[Chris]

Blundel maybe done a groin he won’t be Keeping tomorrow if he has.
And batting all he can do is stand and deliver.

[Damo]

I am getting mad at this approach. Perhaps I should go to bed.

Blundell injured. He should go off and get well.

Two other keepers in the team.

1 and a half.

I'm not convinced about Conway's keeping.

[Chris]

Better from Bracewell he should always play his shots that is his cricket DNA,not grafting.

Latham or Conway of course.

[ACT Crusader]

After a flurry of runs, Blundell skies one to a wide-ish mid-on.

Mitchell in now with a very settled Bracewell. We are in an interesting spot here because we don’t have enough runs to feel comfortable but time is needed to bowl these guys out again.

[Damo]

Last over and then declare. Make it a big one.

[MajorPom]

Commentators (Doull / Styris) absolutely slating NZ for their approach last hour. And I completely agree.

What was the point in scoring 7 runs off 30 balls at this point??

I.e ... why not do what they are doing now 30 mins ago? Only 7 runs less ...

[Damo]

Declared. We have enough runs. If Pakistan can chase this down then good on them.

I think our attitude was terrible for that 5 over period after drinks.

[ACT Crusader]

Pakistan will need to break the record for chasing to get the win.

3 overs to take a wicket and apply some pressure.

That knock should give him confidence going forward. He really has to work for that

[sparky]

Probably heading for a draw.

Not according to Timmy!

Boom!!

[ARHS]

Geez what a great opening over from the captain. Seaming nicely off the track. Great day in store tomorrow

[canefan]

Ish strikes! Game on

[MajorPom]

Pretty much so perfect day then ....

Declare at a point to give the opposition a sniff so they have a go. Then pick up two wickets (one NWM) in the 3 overs.

[sparky]

Pakistan 0-2 at the close.
