Pretty well wrapped up. The middle order still a huge problem, but most other aspects of the team are working well.

A good and not entirely expected win to wake up to. Bowling figures make for nice reading, I'll have to find a recording of that hattrick.

Can only laugh though at numbers 6 & 7 highlighting that middle order weakness with ducks. Fmd. Very useful 20s from Southee and Sodhi to rescue the innings from there.

I think it would've been better if he'd just had a quiet word with the umpires during the change of ends.

Nah, because there's no actual stock in batsmen complaining about it, so that just would've been entirely pointless. If he was going to bother doing anything it had to be a sledge/troll to try and get under Hafeez's skin.

Taylor just wanted to throw that accusation out there.

Well that may be the instruction but do you really believe that if a batsman mentions concerns about a bowler's action the umpire is not going to at least take a look at it?

Good recovery by sarfu (64) and Wasim (50) but I think Sodhi/Southee stand of 42 hurts pakistan.Trent m.o.m

Credit to NZ for getting up last night. I knew they'd find more form as the tour went on. If my predictions are correct the players should be bedded-in quite nicely by the time the Tests go down.

They've already given Young a chance on this telecast. Got half-forward onto his front toe to a length that warranted an even greater move forward, which was fine, but Taj Wali skittled him anyway. :p

Saw that. Hard to tell from side-on how he missed it - great from bowler's perspective but you don't really want your top order batsmen bowled between bat and pad like that.
