Good luck to Salman... But clearly another dead pitch. I mean, 0/165?? Wowee...

The ICC needs some ex-bowlers to restore common sense. Guys like Holding, Lawson, Copeland,...

At 1/187, odds are:

Draw 1.85
Pakistan 3.70
NZ 3.90

Conway missed a century (LBW for 92). Latham still on track. Pakistan scored two, with Sarfaraz missing out. Centuries in Test cricket should be rare and special. There shouldn't be two or three in an innings.

At 6/518 (Pakistan scored 438, so NZ lead by 80), odds are:

Draw 1.42
NZ 3.10
Pakistan 23.00

The best batsman in the world, Kane Williamson, is on 137 not out.

That's four centuries in less than 2 innings. Wouldn't discount Sodhi (41 not out) making it 5 either...

Kane reached 200 not out just before the tea declaration. Sodhi made 65.

And today Sodhi took 6/86 (36.5). The only other wicket-taker in the innings was Bracewell, who took 2/82 (25).

The century tally stayed at 4. Imam Ul Haq narrowly missed (96).

Match drawn, with NZ 1/61 (7.3).

"New Zealand tried their best but couldn't find their desired result due to bad light after Babar's declaration."

Kane was named Player of the Match.
