(TEA DAY TWO)
166-5
After a terrible batting performance yesterday the PAK bowlers have bowled very well to keep the run-rate down and let the leg-spinner do the wicket taking
The bowlers have been accurate and patient - qualities not on show from the batsmen who have got out to poor strokes
Kaneria has bowled as brilliantly on a flat wicket and has 4/5 wickets
OBSERVATIONS
- In two sessions, NZ made just 119 runs for the loss of 5 wickets - the lack of the former resulting in the high number of the latter
- Vettori and McCullum are at the crease and represent the last decent partnership
- McIntosh did find some form (74 off 187 balls) after changing his guard from middle to leg
- Again I remind readers that the pitch is very good for batting, it is a mixture of very good bowling and some poor shot selection that is preventing big scores
