Wagner from the other end seems to be the aggressor short pitched bowler for Kiwis.

Can't see even 50 people in stadium. Probably the support staff are more in numbers than the odd spectators.

Swept well for 4 by Azhar Ali at mid wicket. PAK 85/2.

41 overs bowled and Ish Sodhi has still not bowled a single over.

50 for Azhar Ali. Makes use of the dropped catch when he had scored nothing. 71 runs partnership between him and Haris Sohail.

Sohail 27 from 112 balls.

Bowling change. Finally Ish Sodhi gets to bowl his first over in 46th over of this innings.

Sixer. First of the innings. Lofted over long off by Azhar Ali. Well middled too.

PAK 109/2. Azhar moves on to 58.


PAK should be looking to score as many as possible through this partnership as both are settled. You never know the remaining may collapse again for 43 runs like last match.

Ish has bowled slower as compared to Ajaz Patel. Kiwis need to break this partnership. No wickets so far from 26 overs bowled in the second session. Kiwis will also be batting last so the runs need to be choked.

PAK at 117/2.

No wickets for Kiwis in this session of 31 overs. 99 runs partnership between Azhar and Haris Sohail.

PAK 124/2 at Tea break.

Azhar - 69 from 142 balls.
Harris - 37 from 169 balls.

I see myself in retirement going to see NZ play Tests. Maybe not in UAE though.

4. Well hit square off the wicket. Harris into 40's.

PAK 133/2.

4 more. 50 for Haris Sohail from 177 balls. Good innings.

150 up for Pak for loss of 2 wickets.

Run out. Azhar dismissed for 81. Poor from Pakistan. Even if Haris Sohail had accepted the call for run, Bari's would have been run out. Was hit well enough by Azhar to mid off. Silly cricket but not as bad as run out involving him and Asad against Aussies.

PAK 151/3.

Bowling change. Wagner back in attack. New ball due in 5 overs.

Three fours off Ajaz Patel's over. Biggest of the innings so far. Two nice cut shots and a sweep.

PAK 169/3.
