Latham, Conway frustrate Pakistan with century stand in opening ... (ESPNcricinfo.com)

Runs came at a good pace too with Pakistan bowlers toiling for wickets.

That summed up the session for the hosts, who had brought in Naseem and Hasan on a pitch with good bounce and carry. The first 11 overs had fetched 54, before a quiet period followed, with Hasan tightening his lines, and Abrar slowing it down in the air. That began a string of boundaries to follow: Conway hit two off Mir Hamza next over by driving and slashing, before Latham also cut and drove Naseem, capitalising each time the bowler went either too short or too full even as he had chosen to go around the wicket already.

Pakistan stuck at it though, and got their breakthroughs from likely and unlikely sources. More fight from the tail order will be needed on day two in order to reach a competitive total on a wicket that while greener than the first test, still offers more to batsmen than bowlers. From 226-1 at tea, the visitors slumped to 309-6 by stumps, losing a perfect platform on a wicket that failed to portend what was to follow.

Pakistan was finally able to stem New Zealand’s flow in the evening as it took five wickets in the final session, with Agha Salman claiming the scalps of Conway, Henry Nicholls and Daryl Mitchell. “It’s been a good ride so far, I’ve only played a handful of test games so it’s nice to get the opportunity to play and contribute for the team,” Conway, whose century took him past 1,000 test runs, told reporters. Conway, who scored a total of 110 runs in the first Test, hit 16 boundaries and one six in his 191-ball knock to notch his fourth century in test cricket.

Pakistan vs New Zealand, 2nd Test. Day 2: 1st Session. NZ - 416/9 (118.3). CRR: 3.51. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Matt Henry*, 49(41), 6, 2, 119.51. Ajaz Patel, 21(43), 3, 0, 48.84. Bowling, O, M, R, W. Agha Salman*, 20.3, 2, 60, 3.

89.5Ish Sodhi to Abrar Ahmed, no run, appeal for LBW, but the impact was outside off - slid through just outside off and beat Abrar on the back-foot prod. The umpires have a chat and the light is still good for one more Sodhi over New Zealand started the day as the favourites to win, they ended the day a wicket away - but in between, there was some riveting stuff, none more so from Sarfaraz Ahmed, this was his comeback series, this was the first series he was playing at home, and he ended the series as the highest run-scorer, with 3 fifties and the best reserved for the last day, a stunning 4th Test hundred. Player of the Series - It was a great comeback, I've been part of the team for a long while, but I was waiting for a chance in the playing XI. We just wanted to keep it simple and see where it takes us, we needed a big partnership and that's what we got in the middle-order. The plan was to play according to the merit of the ball, a few more runs here and there, the result could have been different. It was a dream comeback from Sarfi bhai, we kept backing him and the way he did when the opportunity came, it's very heartening to see. We got ourselves to push for a win but Sarfaraz played with intent and took the game away from us in the second session. Pakistan captain - The plan was to be careful and assess according to the situation. We will try to chip in with some wins in the ODI's. We knew from the nature of the surface that things could happen late in the Test, but the way Sarfaraz batted took the game away from us. On the other hand, New Zealand's defence of the 2021 crown was shambolic, but they'll hope to at least end it well against Sri Lanka at home in March.

PAK vs NZ, LIVE Cricket Score, 2nd Test Day 2 in Karachi (Firstpost)

Day 1 report: New Zealand slipped against Pakistan allrounder Agha Salman's off-spin in the final session after Devon Conway hit his fourth Test hundred on ...

Poor visibility halted the Black Caps at 61-1 in the eighth over to draw the game. “It’s just nice to get an opportunity to play and contribute for the team.” “The wicket had a bite (for spinners) after tea as it got dried up and it troubled them.” Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. Salman ignited the collapse when he found the outside edge of Conway’s bat that ended his 100-run stand with Williamson. “The game is certainly evenly poised, we did win those first two sessions, but the way Pakistan have bounced back in that last session certainly brought them back in the game.” New Zealand, on its first Test tour to Pakistan since 2002, had made a strong bid to chase down 138 in the last hour of the first Test of the two-match series last Friday after Pakistan captain Babar Azam made a daring declaration. Conway completed his century off 156 balls with 13 fours and a six with a flick of Hamza to midwicket and ran three while Williamson also kept the bowlers at bay with his determined batting before Salman struck after tea. Earlier, Conway and Latham contributed a second successive century opening stand in the two-match series before Naseem Shah (2-44) brought the lone success in the first two sessions when he had Latham trapped leg before wicket of a full delivery after lunch but New Zealand added further 107 runs in the post-lunch session. Both lefthanders Conway and Latham dominated the pace and spin in the first session to produce 119 runs and even showed aggression against Abrar’s mystery spin after captain Babar Azam turned to his ace spinner as early as in the ninth over. Hasan Ali, playing his first Test since July, twice found the edges of Conway’s bat in successive overs after lunch only to see the ball fall short of Abdullah Shafique in the slips and then Saud Shakeel couldn’t hold onto a sharp chance in gully while diving full length to his right when the lefthander was 11 shy of his hundred. Day 1 report: New Zealand slipped against Pakistan allrounder Agha Salman’s off-spin in the final session after Devon Conway hit his fourth Test hundred on the opening day of the second Test on Monday.

Pakistan claw back through Salman, Naseem after Conway hundred (ESPNcricinfo.com)

Duo shared five wickets as New Zealand lost 5 for 45 in final session, after Conway-Latham century stand.

When he was on 86, an outside edge fell short of the lone slip and two overs later, when Conway was on 89, Hasan induced an edge to gully, where Saud Shakeel spilled it after diving to his right. That left New Zealand with virtually two new batters at the crease in Henry Nicholls and Daryl Mitchell, with the latter happy to take a good stride forward and getting across off stump to try and negate the movement Naseem got it. Standing at slip, Babar was the only one who reacted and half-appealed after Nicholls tried to slash a short ball outside off turning away from him. But it was Salman who struck first, getting the ball to dip and turn away from Conway, who went jabbing and edged behind to Sarfaraz Ahmed in the 63rd over. That was a sign of things to come, as Naseem kept clocking 140kph while reversing the ball against both Williamson and Conway. The visitors had piled up 119 and 107 in the first two sessions for the loss of one wicket.
