**Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

International 12th Man
1st time I've watched Guptill this season. Not good. Focus on playing straight when defending increases his chance of playing a long innings, but means strike isn't being turned over.

Edit at over #16:
I know the pitch is slow, but 34 of his 35 (49) runs have come in front of the wicket. Pak have packed the covers, he's got a few through, but someone like Kane would have used his wrists a few times to glide behind point. At least mid on is now back on the fence, so he has a get-out option for a single.

Superb innings from Williamson, Pontingesque in that he didn't seem to be trying too hard and all of a sudden he has 50 then 70 then 100. Always in control, masterful. He just gets better and better.

Now that was an awesome delivery.

I've seen enough, Henry is ****ing awesome and needs to be locked in for the WC.

Oh dear. Bad drop by Taylor.

Jesus, now Ronchi lets a regulation take go through to the fence.

Some very shoddy fielding going on.

Saw One News last night claiming a scoop re: Boult being assured of his place in the 15.

The onus would then really fall on Milne to show McClenaghan what a proper quick (not an actor/model/entrepreneur quick) can achieve on Patumahoe soil....

Hamilton. Not sure which clay will feature in the WC, they have a choice of two to play on there.

Fast Patumahoe similar to that is also used in Auckland.

This is turning out to be an interesting chase.. if these two hang around for 5 overs it's possible.

First time I'm seeing Milne looks a serious find.. ~150k pace - is he fastest in the world atm? Don't see Johnson/Steyn pushing past that anymore.

Good over by Milne. Still, if Afridi keeps going like this Pakistan are going to win pretty comfortably.
