(END OF DAY THREE)
The last session saw Umar Akmal score a brilliant, debut century (129)alongside his brother (82) as 147 runs were added in 40 overs
Vettori and Bond fought back late in the day to reduce PAK to 307-8
OBSERVATIONS
- NZ take the advantage as 8 wickets were taken. They would have liked to knock them over earlier after Bond had them in trouble at 85-5 but the Akmal counter attack was very affective.
- Vettori's reluctance to have a 3rd slip in place proved to be in error as several edges went through the slips
- If NZ can take the remaining two wickets early they will have time to set up a total of about 300-350 for PAK to chase/survive on DAY 5
