Pakistan 133 (55.5 ov) all OUT

TEA BREAK


Who would have thought it? Colin de Grandhomme, who had only one five-for in 83 first-class games, would break the record for best figures on debut for New Zealand? Alex Moir had taken 6 for 155 against England in Christchurch in 1951. Sixty-five years later, de Grandhomme has 6 for 41 in the same city.

This is the slowest match I have ever watched. Pak behind 14 runs with 9 wickets remaining, and only 1.5 hours left to play.
Lots of maiden overs since tea break.

2002
Last time the first innings aggregate in a Test in
NZ was lower than the 333 runs in this match -
in Hamilton, between Ind and NZ, only 193 runs
were scored in first innings.

They obviously won't make it, but looks like they have a 119 minimum ovs today to make up for yesterday?

This is an odd number.
