Rajesh pings me this gem: Since Jan 1990, NZ have lost their last five wickets for 30 or fewer runs 18 times in Tests; 8 of those against Pakistan
Ghalib: "Can we call it a collapse? 220/4 to 249/10." -- Yes, in fact I have already called it one.
4.40pm Another twist in the Test. Yasir Shah triggered the collapse after tea, picking up his 14th five-wicket haul in Test cricket, while Hasan Ali registered his maiden fifer. For a change, Mohammad Abbas went wicketless. Pakistan need 176 to win the Test and take 1-0 lead. We'll be back with the chase shortly.
