New Zealand started their batting at 243-3 today. Ehsan Adil & Rahat Ali got wickets in the start of the day. Yasir Shah took the wicket of Taylor & Rahat Ali got TWM Latham. Latham did not even score a single run today; Taylor was struggling against spinners yesterday as well.
Next one was JDS Neesham; He got out by Yasir Shah. New Zealand's tailenders frustrated Pakistani bowlers a lot. New Zealand scored 403 total in the first innings. Secondly, Pakistani fielders once again disappointed us. Many opportunities have been lost by bad fielding today. Missed catches can cost Pakistan the match.
New Zealand played with the Run Rate of 2.58 in the first innings; they played 783 dot balls.
After putting decent score on the board, New Zealand did well with the ball too. At the end of the day, Pakistan was 34-2, They lost both the openers today. Shan Masood got out on 13 & Taufeeq Umar on 16. They both got time after some time; Shan Masood is still new to the international stage, He got some chances before but couldn't prove himself. Taufeeq Umar having brilliant stats at home & overseas got chance into the team after couple of years. He was out due to an injury; He could not do well in the first innings. Now they both have another innings to prove themselves.
Azhar Ali & Younis Khan at crease, they need to build a partnership tomorrow. A wicket or two in the first session tomorrow can cost Pakistan this match.
Missed a day? Don't worry, We are here. Watch the highlights of the game being played between Pakistan & New Zealand, Second Day - 18th Nov, 2014.
