[smash84]

with wickets in such quick succession i think the headline would be "de grand****ed pakistan"

Groundhog day for Pak

Followed by silence - would love to have seen the expressions of Doull & Styris.

Wagner just had a great spell in county cricket, unlike Henry.

Weren't you saying a few days ago that county cricket success counts for nothing, when saying Patel was way worse than Craig?

I hope NZ don't dish out any flat tracks this tour. Younis has padded his stats on feather beds for too long. Outside the SC, he averages 41 odd with 5 tons excluding Zimbabwe. Hopefully that will go down below 40 because that's his true class outside UAE/India/SL.

DWTA.

Although I'm also a root fan.

Very good score at lunch for NZ, and was the desperately needed or what. Going in at 100/0 could have set up a very long home season.

All hail de Grandhomme and the genius of the Blackcaps selectors!!!

What's DWTA?

I am not really a Root fan per se. Just went with the first name that came to my mind.

Solid little recovery from this pair, and they're both starting to look a bit more comfortable. I'll start to get a bit nervous if we don't break the partnership in the first half-hour after lunch.

NZ's session easily.

Just like the England series, they focused on Broad and Anderson and gave away their wickets to Woakes.

Looks Granderhommoeeie or whatever his name is caught them napping


Poor decision to have Babar at 3 and push Shafiq back. Bad decision for both.. Will hurt Babar's confidence if he doesn't succeed and will definitely dent Shafiq's confidence that his team doesn't trust him after 6 years of test cricket

Colin!

Wagner also averages under 30 with the ball in test cricket, 25 in the last several seasons.

But De Grandhomme is currently working towards best ever debut performance for a bowler in NZ Test Cricket.

This is so fricken weird.

Hope Tim can just tie an end up here while Grand de Colinhomme does the business. Looking forward to the highlights later.
