Captain Babar Azam could contribute only 24 runs. His individual score was 24 when he ran out for third run , but his companion , Imam , on the other end got confused and could not run. Babar Azam’s run out had put Pakistan under pressure . Babar Azam is in good form and he could make a good score to help Pakistan take lead against New Zealand in the first inning and put pressure on visiting side to win the second test match.
New Zealand ‘s A Patel picked up three wickets for 88 runs and I Southee Bowled out 2 Pakistan’s batters and gave away 94 runs in the first inning .
Since only two days are left of the match and New Zealand is to out Pakistan’s one wicket, there are growing chances that the second test match will end up at draw . This equation is not supportive of Pakistan as visiting side is in lead of one test and Pakistan will lose the test series against New Zealand if second test remains draw.
