... when he said that both teams batters were "useless".

Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat.

PAK 51/5.

Even though Pakistans batting collapsed

NZ will still manage to get a lower score

a hundy in his No. 6 debut, no less. once again, he proves how verstile he is.

the partnership with McCullum was going really strong for a while, they must have been racing each other for the hundred


tuffey started strong, with the 6 in his first over

i hope im not speaking too soon, but Vettori may be on the way to his highest test score. two boundries off Gul just now, and quite a few quick singles and doubles in the last over or two, here's hoping he gets it. has to beat 140
