Pak V NZ - 3rd Test

Re: Pak V NZ - 3rd Test

Good going. Hope fully they reach 450 tomorrow

Good to see the openers growing in confidence. Hopefully Ahmad Shehzad will be back soon to join his partner, Hafeez. :k:

Re: Pak V NZ - 3rd Test

Good batting by Hafeez :k: … overall a decent performance though RR is on the lower end.

Re: Pak V NZ - 3rd Test

Pakistan need to post 500+ and let NZ bat some 15+ overs tomorrow.

Sodhi to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, Hafeez has fallen three short of the double hundred, he's played the pull so well through his innings, this is a half tracker, but he's top edged the pull, and it has swirled to the man at deep forward square leg, some of the New Zealand players pat Hafeez as he walks back
**Mohammad Hafeez c Boult b Sodhi 197 (434m 316b 25x4 3x6) SR: 62.34

Well played hafeez, what a shame he could not get his double century. Seemed very nervous in his 190's.**
