**Official** Pakistan Tri-Nation Series

[King Kane]

This is a great comeback after Tayyab was threatening to pull away. Santner is simply on top of his game.

@jcas0167 Jamieson was bowling brilliantly on return in the Super Smash no doubt, but would much rather he focuses on red ball. I don't know that there's that much upside to playing him in limited overs.

I didn't see Jamieson bowl in the Super Smash but he's been ordinary bowling with the white ball in international cricket, he should be saved for tests.

I don't think Duffy bowled that badly, he just bowled a bit too short early on a hittable length but he adjusted in his last over and bowled a fuller length.

That's why you pick younger bowlers for matches like this to give them experience overseas, you can't expect them to bowl like Hadlee straight away.

 

[King Kane]

Duffy also needs to work on his catching, that was a shocker, he just cost O'Rourke a wicket and 4 runs.

 

[NZTailender]

Suddenly we've got butter fingers again. Hopefully getting it out of our system before the CT.

Phillips has to be one of the most contrasting fielders I've ever seen

 

[NZTailender]

NZ intentionally allowing more runs so their batsmen get more time in the middle imho

 

[King Kane]

Another shocking drop.

 

[NZTailender]

Finally a "straight up" that was actually straight up. Take lessons @craigmcmillan

 

[King Kane]

Third time lucky, we finally held on to one,

 

[trundler]

Grim.

 

[King Kane]

A good catch from Bracewell to finish it.

4 wickets for Willow Rook, he was the pick of the bowlers so a good reward, 243 to win, that shouldn't be too hard.

you will be held personally responsible for the loss

 

[slowfinger]

sorry but batting Doug Bracewell out for a maiden is completely unacceptable. Pakistan play with this attitude then they will get walked over in the CT.

 

[NZTailender]

Beautiful swinging conditions

 

[NZTailender]

Gutted for my man Will Young who was due a score, being essentially mid air and still struck high, the umpires call is a bit harsh but thems the breaks

 

[King Kane]

This run chase isn't looking as easy as I thought it would, Will Young was stiff to be given out on umpire's call though.

The new ball is swinging but we just need to see it off and then it should get easier, Kane and Conway know the score.

Shah 1-1(1.1) @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Moss]

Definite contest here, Pakistani quicks making the ball talk under lights and the crowd cheering on. Engaging stuff.

 

[King Kane]

Naseem bowling like Waqar Younis apart from the wides down the leg side, Waqar didn't waste many balls.

 

[NZTailender]

Awesome stuff by Pakistan

 

[slowfinger]

decent pressure, but someone needs to be dismissed before the new ball gets old

 

[slowfinger]

is Naseem Shah really giving shades of Waqar or more, shades of Mohammed Sami?
