PAK declared, leaving NZ 138 runs to get in 15 overs.

Hold onto your seats

Credit to Babar Azam, a very gutsy declaration to keep the game going. That's one way to keep Test cricket interesting.

Once again Aleem Dar checks the light. Unfortunately, too dark! Everyone's a bit confused with what's happened suddenly. We were having so much fun for a change in this Test, man! Come on, Aleem Dar.

Match drawn. Was quite entertaining at the end.

Pakistan vs New Zealand, 2nd Test

NZ 204-1

They are scoring at about 4 runs an over.

NZ 400-9 , really frustrating Pakistan now.

Hectic! Partnership for the 10th wicket is nearly 100

Partnership: 99(132)

** edit over a 100 now. We need those two to bat for SA

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I

IND 162/5 (20)

In the seven previous T20Is at Wankhede, only twice have teams batting first successfully defended their total.

SA 209/5 vs Afg in 2016
Ind 240/3 vs WI in 2019

Caught most of that innings. Feel like SL let India off the hook a little towards the end. Could've been mid 140 I reckon. But still, definitely getable...

Oops looks like SL is struggling

Sjoe, turned out to be a very close game.

India won by 2 runs

M Bracewell to Saud Shakeel, 1 run, loud shout of yeah, yeah and he runs across to complete the run. Gets that maiden Test hundred he missed against England. Dream come true for Saud Shakeel. What a talent he has been since his arrival.

PAK 332/4

Day 3: Stumps - Pakistan trail by 42 runs

PAK 407/9

They lost a good couple of wickets in no time. We may just see a result in this game.

I don't think there is enough time unless someone bats badly.

Damn it was close. 15 runs to win and 1 wicket for NZ. Good old fashion test cricket.

Important knock for babar. His captaincy is under pressure after that white wash against England. Made NZ pay for dropping him.

He's a potentially generational great talent but not captains material. Many generational great players are not. Neither were AB or Amla captain material.

I see arshdeep broke the no ball t20i record yesterday. 5 no balls vs sri lanka. Didn't please hardik as India lost to sri lanka.
