***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2016/17

Good to see our best two seamers from yesterday begin the day. Henry didn't pick up any wickets but he was unlucky IMO, could've easily had 2-3.

yeah southee is crushing the battle of the right armers atm but henry was genuinely unlucky yesterday with some very near misses and the dropped catch.

wagner is a good bowler though;)

Southee going back to his mud bowling lines and lengths, Henry remaining not a wicket taker and Safraz a walking wicket once Wagner comes in.

Good ole Williamson and his pre-set plans.

Babar and Sarfraz are looking pretty good.

Get the feeling Pakistan will get a lot closer to 270 than most here think.

haha there's not much to be miserable about in this series so CM Flunk is reduced to liking a post about henry nicholls to get his misery kicks.

Nah; to be honest I can see Safraz holing out the moment he gets the treatment from Wagner. Babar is looking good but is prone to mental explosions.

I think they'll get about 185-190.

110 up and the likes of Amir and Wahab are capable of contributing some valuable runs.. I think they could get around 250, making it an innings shoot off.

Santner with a still broken wrist doesn't need to be chasing down balls like that.

This has been absolute mud from NZ so far though.

Anyway, pitch is looking quite nice to bat on right now and these two batsmen are playing well. Henry to keep hitting a good length (or slightly short of, as he does) and be patient.

Munro would be my pick, if not Will Young.

Henry is another Bracewell, plugs away on a nice area but no movement, no lift off the wicket, no seam to speak of and far too easy for good batsmen to play.
