Wondering if any other bowler has taken 10 wickets in a single day. Kumble took 10 versus Pak at Kotla but i think that was split across two days.

Jim Laker must have done.

A better batting performance in the second innings.

Latham out for 52 and Taylor for 82.

New Zealand 222-4 at lunch.

Fourteen in the match for Yas. All square.

New Zealand 312 all out.

Nicholls 77

Yasir 6-143

Massive win for PAK with an innings and 16 runs. Wrap this in 4 days as well.

Series are thus level 1-1 with decider at Abu Dhabi on 3rd December.

Laker took nineteen of course, so he took some first and second innings wickets on the same day (Australia were bowled out in 40 overs and followed on). There was rain, but I reckon he took ten on one day. Not certain though.
