Pakistan 133 and 129 for 7 (Azhar 31, Azam 29, Boult 3-18, Wagner 2-21) lead New Zealand 200 (Raval 55, Nicholls 30, Rahat 4-62, Amir 3-43, Sohail 3-78) by 62 runsLive scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsTest cricket is as much about execution of tactics as much as it is about planning. It allows teams the luxury of switching plans midway. In blunting 35 overs for a little over one run per over after restricting their first-innings deficit to 67, Pakistan ensured the new-ball storm was weathered. But their crawl allowed New Zealand to take the edge when they came out with renewed verve after tea on a bright and sunny day in Christchurch.Neil Wagner, who bowled full and slanted the ball across in the hope of bringing the slip cordon into play before the interval, switched to his usual modus operandi of troubling batsmen with short balls aimed at the ribcage, and broke Pakistans spine in the process. At 129 for 7 at stumps, ahead by 62, with just Asad Shafiq and the tail remaining, Pakistan were in danger of losing their second successive Test, barring an unlikely thunderstorm for the better part of the next two days.Wagner triggered the turnaround when he caught Babar Azam on the hop on a couple of occasions before having him glove a bouncer down leg side to wicketkeeper BJ Watling to bring up his 100th Test wicket. Then, Younis Khan was put through a similar short-ball test, the disconcerting bounce pushing him deep into the crease to fend.Did he anticipate the sucker ball? He may have, but in sticking to his short-ball tactic, Wagner outfoxed Younis, whose uncomfortable stay ended when he tried to get out of the way of a delivery that reared up to brush his gloves on its way through to Watling. A tiring Wagner, whose second spell read 11-5-9-2, made way for Trent Boult and Southee, whose relentless attacks kept the batsmen on their toes.Azhar was reprieved when he chanced a risky run off a deflection at slip. However, the missed opportunity hardly affected New Zealands body language as they stuck to their Plan B and were soon rewarded with the wicket of Misbah, when an attempted hook off Southee resulted in a catch to Boult at fine leg.Three balls later, Azhar, after digging in for close to four hours, drove away from the body to get a thick inside edge onto the stumps. Boult then completed the big-ticket set when he got the ball to tail back in late to sneak past Sarfazs defense and flatten the leg and middle stump. By then, the complexion of the game had already changed, enough to change the mood of the Pakistan camp from hope to despair.The foundation for their rewards in the final session was laid before lunch. The two-hour passage didnt produce runs or wickets by the truckloads. Yet, nearly every ball was an event on a surface that offered just enough in terms of lateral movement. Pakistan lost Sami Aslam after nearly 18 overs of defiance, in which the opening pair added 21.The first hour after lunch produced just 19 runs in 15 overs, with Southee, who bowled five successive maidens in a row, troubling the batsmen by swerving the ball away late. It was a classic case of pressure built at one end resulting in a release at the other when Colin de Grandhomme - whose cameo 29 helped New Zealand drive into the lead - picked up his seventh wicket on debut when Aslams tentative push to a delivery that angled in and then deviated a little off the pitch resulted in a nick to Watling.Boult, meanwhile, made optimum use of the crease through subtle change in angles from both over and around the wicket to trouble the batsman. All of this ensured the heat was well and truly on Pakistan despite them losing just one wicket in the session.That Pakistan were able to restrict the deficit was largely due to Sohail Khan and Rahat Ali, who picked up seven wickets between them a New Zealand, resuming on 104 for 3, were bowled out for 200. None of the batsmen except de Grandhomme looked anywhere near comfortable.Walking in after the overnight pair of Henry Nicholls and Jeet Raval, who top scored with 55, were dismissed inside four overs, de Grandhomme, who on Friday took the best figures by a New Zealander on debut, attacked. In hindsight, it wasnt a bad approach; the swagger and nonchalance in his strokes, briefly threw Pakistan off guard. His dismissal for 29 triggered a lower order collapse that gave Pakistan a fighting chance, but they couldnt capitalise against a troika of hostile and highly-skilled fast bowlers.

Karl Alzner Jersey . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU. All right Australia, its over to you. What has become a four-day Test has bought South Africa some luxury time. They can lean back and look to their opposition to make the move.Although day one, with its 15 wickets, packed in enough action for two days and could still mean a result here, it is Australia who will most need to make the play. Theyre already 86 behind and will need to limit South Africas lead as much as possible, then bat both big and quickly to give themselves enough runs and enough overs to bowl South Africa out.South Africa, on the other hand, will be happy to slow things down. Even if they think theres enough time to be able to extend the lead significantly, bowl Australia out and chase, they dont actually need to force anything. A draw in Hobart means going to Adelaide to what will likely will be seamer-friendly conditions with a pack that has already plucked all ten Australian wickets for under 100, twice.A few months ago, when South Africas players en masse rejected the idea of a day-night Test, one of the reasons was because they thought this series was too crucial to end with a match played in unknown conditions. At that stage, it was as though South Africa did not dare to dream they may have the advantage heading there.And thats understandable. They had come off their worst summer since readmission, losing five of eight Tests, had tumbled down the rankings from No.1 to No.7 and there were rumours of senior player retirement and an exodus from the domestic system in a time of transformation.In less than a year, South Africa have put themselves back on track and have found a depth despite the drought. There is even a sense this new South African team could be stronger than they were before. Their Perth comeback was blockbuster material and Australia will need similar in Hobart. At least one person does not think Steven Smiths men will be able to summon the skills to do a South Africa.Graeme Smith, the former South African captain, whose comments thee team have distanced themselves from, took shots at Australias waning cricket culture this week and has now moved on to pointing at their technical problems as well.ddddddddddddIn a column for Sydneys Daily Telegraph, written before the second Test, Smith accused Australias batsmen of not having the temperament required for Test cricket. Australia dont want to work hard for their runs, he wrote. They want to hit boundaries, they want the game to move forward, they want to be positive all the time and theyre not prepared to soak up pressure and work hard for their runs.Smith also blamed the bowler rotation policy for Australias relative lack of bite in the pace pack, especially when compared to South Africas. Sometimes in modern-day sport you can over-complicate things and it seems Australias scientific approach to managing their players has left them unsure of what their best attack is, he said. I think sometimes the simple way is the best way. You want to keep players on the park, you want to win games, you want your best players playing all the time. To me its actually quite simple - if a player has a niggle then he needs to rest, otherwise your best players should be playing all the time no matter the format.Thats the way South Africa have handled Kagiso Rabada, who continues to awe Australia, and was the subject of a Sunday feature in The Age newspaper.Its not the first time South Africa have stepped up in Australia. They won their previous two Test series here. But it is the first time a South African side of relative unknowns are stepping up. That they are doing it by putting the Australian side that were not long ago ranked No.1, under such a severe amount of pressure will only add to the aura. Names are being made and reputations built, so much so that even on a day when no play was possible, South Africa still hold the upper hand. ' ' '
