(STUMPS DAY THREE)
PAK 223
NZ 471
PAK 128-0
After Tuffey's entertaining innigs (80*) and Chris Martin's 27th duck, the PAK openers batted out 56 overs on what is now a very dead pitch
OBSERVATIONS
- This is why we need greener pitches! The last two sessions were extremely dull and the commentators were struggling to conjure topics to keep themselves awake. This kind of pitch will kill test cricket and belongs in the subcontinent
- NZ still lead by 120 but the prospect of having to take 10 wickets tomorrow will sap the energy from the bowlers (and the viewers)
- Kaneria will be deadly in the 4th innings - even on this wicket - so NZ don't want to have to chase more than 200
