    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Sorry NZ fans, I'll own up to that one. Literally the second ball I've seen all day...

    **Official** Zimbabwe in Bangladesh 2014

    Slightly odd, but Zimbabwe are able to come out of the series "accentuating the positives" - Masakadza, Raza, and Chakabva had great series, Panyangara was pretty good. If they pick Williams and get Taylor back to form then their batting is looking pretty decent (surely Mawoyo is the best...

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    I suspect they'll bring back Rutherford, put McCullum back to 5, drop Craig, then consider which of Neesham or Wagner to play.

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    The options are Rutherford or Ronchi, so probably yes, he is. Has been in terrific form before two days ago.

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Southee should just swing against the spinners... not good enough to keep those out when defending

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Craig looks like he should be batting at 5,,,

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Four of the top five got starts, none batted longer than 50 balls though....

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    That's a remarkably bad leave. Out of the school of Adam Parore leaves....

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    This really is an astonishing run of form from Pakistan. Their top order's averages in the past 5 tests are something like Hafeez 60, Shehzad 50, Azhar 50, Younis 100, Misbah 70, Shafiq 50, Sarfraz 80. And three virtually brand new bowlers are averaging about 20 on the same tracks. Winning...

    Dhoni goes defensive if you survive a couple of overs or play one successful attacking shot....

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Low-bouncing flat wicket, no quick bowlers to face - just leave the thigh-pad in the dressing room and put a towell in there or something....

    Oh crap....

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    In 80 years of test cricket NZ has produced seven test spinners who averaged under 40, (Vettori, Boock, Bracewell, Howarth, Burtt, Yuile and Alabaster - don't think I've missed anyone) and none under 33. With Anderson or Neesham and Watling at 6 and 7, I think all we're after is a spinner to...

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Did Ross Taylor shag Ramiz Raja's wife or something ? Never heard a commentator lay into a player so much...

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Ah well, I do love watching a good leggie, and Yasir has a real Qadir sway-and-bounce about him...

    Excellent from Latham. One opening spot tied up for years...

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    No snicko for the reviews? If not, that's a very bad review. I think he might have got a tiny bottom edge, ball seemed to change angle ever so slightly, but can't give it without some sound.

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Not feeling comfortable watching these two play back to full balls - feels like if any ball misbehaves even slightly they won't have a hope. Need to come forward to the full ones....

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    This track looks flatter than either of the ones Australia played on, and I'm not just saying that because Pakistan just got 550-3. And we have more recent history of batting pretty well to save a game...
