Will be quite something to have something similar but I fear this is heading for a draw that satisfies no one. Will love to be proven wrong.

Utterly baffling approach. They got 13 runs in the last 10 overs before tea, then after tea decided to go for the win. Shakeel was playing at a SR below 40, while Sarfraz was playing positively. What were they trying? It seems like they were waiting for tea to start scoring, what sense does it make to try to score quicker later in the inning, on a more worn pitch?

Shakeel looked visibly uncomfortable when asked to bat more aggressively after tea. Quite puzzling tactics honestly, Salman threw away his wicket trying to be aggressive too.

Macewell winning the game would be peak meme material.

This Abrar bloke has got half decent technique.

Why NZ wants draw when they just need one good ball?

It's clear that they took the review to waste the time.

I don’t think they did, that was just a desperate review from Southee as he knew this would have been the last over.

Problem is, their spinners apart from Ajaz are shit, we just made them look invincible like always

Why have they settled for a draw with only 3 overs remaining?

Would have won it if the actual batters had bothered to get runs.
A winnable match thrown away.

Funnily enough Ajaz has been gash in this series. Not even using him in the last few overs was still criminal though.

There's three overs left in the game, all four results still on the table, everyone can see what's going on so what are you going to do?

Take the players off.

Incredibly stupid, cricket lost.
