Taylor playing a good innings thus far. Looked a bit wobbly at the start but pulled it back nicely. Let's just hope he doesn't have a brain explosion and go for a slog sweep when he gets bogged down and isn't scoring.

^lols. I am surprised by his keeping. If he can keep well, he should hang on to the job. His batting will always improve with time.

Vettori has been a thorn in our side in the past. Pakistan need to get him early.

lol no there was none

Reece seems to have very good defense.

Vettoris playing shots though, so either he'll rack the runs or we'll get him soon

Looks like Pakistan plan to bring vettori back into form

That was bloody plumb
and hawkeye confirms it

Pakistan are letting things slip away with the new ball. They don't look threatening at all

Interesting that McIntosh was dropped. I have the feeling Wrighty doesn't really want him there. Another terrible shot from Guptill to get out, thats 3 out of 3 shockers for him now. Not really acceptable at this level. They better hope they bowl really well, although it will be really tough, the kind of attack we have needs at least 400 on the board to bowl at. I'm struggling to see us winning this one tbh.

Don't forget who the Kiwi's are going to bowl to - the other team in world cricket notorious for its inconsistency and batting collapses

Great partnership at the moment between Vettori and Young - looks like he'll be our keeper for a while now, and I think that's a good thing.
Adnan is good when keeping to the fast bowlers, but the commentators showed that he wasn't that good to spin and has given away a few byes

Young's looked really solid in defense, in Hamilton he struggled with the tail though, so I'd maybe be looking to swap Young and Franklin around, depending on the situation of the match, like if we're in trouble send in Young, but if we're like 300 for 4 send in Franklin, then Vettori, and drop Young to eight.
Most teams don't tend to change their batting order in tests though.
