Pakistani team has two legends at this time. And you all know that I am talking about Sajid Khan and Nouman Ali. Didn't you see the batting and the bowling of these two players. In the first inning Sajid Khan collected 6 wickets first and in batting he was was more surprising I was thinking that they are playing a ODI match may be. Hahaha. Just he hit 4 sixes in his 48 runs journey and also 2 fours. He is the only one who hit most of the boundaries. And just like him Nouman Ali also made 45 runs. And he was also good in batting and bowling. And clear chance is that Pakistan will win this match easily.
Exactly, New Zealand is in the driving seat in 2nd Test match as they have built a lead of 300 plus. I think to achieve a target of 300 plus or 400 plus score in the fourth innings is a very difficult task for any teams. if there is no mishap, New Zealand are heavy favorites to win this test series. New Zealand scored 198 for five at the end of Day 2, giving India a total lead of 301 runs. New Zealand's 6th partnership has two good players at the crease at the moment. India should takes early Wickets and send them both to the pavilion and get them all out New Zealand for 250 under under if they want a comeback in the Test game.
Pakistan team beating in 1 st test game and in 3 nd test game, they made a good progress with made a good lead runs in 1 st Inning but England team also a good team and they played poor in 1 st Inning and they made only 267 runs and Pakistan team chased runs of England's 1 st Inning and lead by 77 runs not big margin. But in 2 nd turn, England lost their 3 wickets in 24 runs and played 9 overs. Sajid took down 1 wicket in 4 overs and giving 14 runs and this replacement bowlers showed effort in 2 nd test game of England team and Nouman also bowled great and he bowled 4 overs and took down 2 wickets giving 9 runs. Now main Batsman of England team is in batting both root and brook if Pakistani bowlers will success to take these 2 wickets their win will 100 % confirm. Sajid also showed brilliant struggle in 1 st turn and he took down 6 wickets in this turn and gave 128 runs. Nouman dismissed 3 wickets in 28 overs and gave 88 runs. 
Those who bought tickets for the fifth day of the first Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa are really out of luck as the result of this Test match is over even before the fifth day takes place on the ground. Now any cricket fan of Bangladesh must think twice before buying a ticket for a Test match and they will try to get tickets for the first three days because there is always doubt whether Bangladesh will be able to stay on the fourth and fifth day. Bangladesh tour of South Africa has come but looking at the performance of Bangladeshi players, it seems that Bangladesh has gone on tour to South Africa and they are not able to bat and bowl well there. Nothing more to say except best wishes for the upcoming match.
The Bangladesh team is playing their games against South Africa, in which I can't say anything that who wins next test match becasue the chances are fifty fifty but so far I think South Africa can win this game.
However, firstly they were having the series with Pakistan after that they had the series against india in which they played all the formats, one day, t20 and test matches and lost all matches, can't even win a single game. After that they are playing currently against South Africa then on 6th November, they will play the series of ODI against Afghanistan. No rest for the team.
India have performed very poorly at their own venue, as we saw the first test match they lost badly, and the second test match going the same way. Bowling line of New Zealand team is very strong especially today Santner took 7 wickets in 19.3 overs and gave only 53 runs his bowling was excellent.
However, today New Zealand bowled out India for 156 runs, and they batted for 198 runs in the second innings for the loss of 5 wickets, and the current lead of New Zealand team is 301 runs. Of course, we can see a better batting performance from the New Zealand team on the third day, if they can give a lead of 400 runs then it will be difficult for India to meet this target. In that case, I think that since the bowling line of the New Zealand team is very good, India will not be allowed to win the second Test match, but New Zealand is still the favorite to win the series.
Although I am a supporter of the Indian team, still I have to accept it with the performance of the New Zealand team players, the chances of the New Zealand team winning this second test match are high. Because the New Zealand team is much ahead in terms of performance. The fans of Indian team never imagined that India, despite being the king of cricket, would compete against New Zealand with such an unexpected performance on their own ground. In their home game, India's lagging line to the New Zealand bowlers proved that the Indian players were on the verge of losing their ability to play cricket. However, today New Zealand bowled out India for 156 runs, and they batted for 198 runs in the second innings for the loss of 5 wickets, and the current lead of New Zealand team is 301 runs. Of course, we can see a better batting performance from the New Zealand team on the third day, if they can give a lead of 400 runs then it will be difficult for India to meet this target. In that case, I think that since the bowling line of the New Zealand team is very good, India will not be allowed to win the second Test match, but New Zealand is still the favorite to win the series.

Indian bowlers have been able to bowl well. But now it cannot be said for sure whether the Indian batsmen will be able to play well. India has already lost the important wicket of Rohit Sharma. India will lose this match like the first match if the batsmen do not play well. The main reason for India's defeat in the first match was the poor performance of the batsmen.
Indian batsmen perform pathetically in the first innings of previous match. They have done a little better this time, still it wasn't worth to make the game in their favour. The pitch is very much helpful for the spin bowlers, which has made it difficult to bat. New Zealand has done better in such condition. They have enough leads now and still 5 wickets in hand. Looks like India is going to lose this match too. 
New Zealand lost their fourth wicket by 123 runs. However, Captain Tom Latham is still at the crease after collecting 66 runs. Tom Latham is batting responsibly. Washington Sundar is able to bowl very controlled bowling in the second innings as well as in the first innings. By bowling 15 overs, he was able to pick up important wickets of Washington Sundar.
But in the second innings I expected to see a big innings from Rachin Ravindra. In the first innings as well, Rachin Ravindra scored 65 runs and Conway scored 76 runs. Both these New Zealand batsmen failed to play well in the second innings. Conway was out with 17 runs and Ravindra 9 runs.
But in the second innings I expected to see a big innings from Rachin Ravindra. In the first innings as well, Rachin Ravindra scored 65 runs and Conway scored 76 runs. Both these New Zealand batsmen failed to play well in the second innings. Conway was out with 17 runs and Ravindra 9 runs.
I think New Zealand is likely to win this game as their bowlers did magical bowling once again, picked the all wickets of the Indian team at the less score of 156 runs and does not allow them to get lead which is very good for them and it will give them a very good advantage. At one time when New Zealand made only 259 runs, I thought India would get the lead but how good they bowled again.
I hope now New Zealand will win this game. New Zealand is in the lead of more than 300 runs which is very good. Many days are still left to see and will India may come back in the match or not? I don't think that they can. Even New Zealand's 2nd innings score (198/5) isn't impressive enough, but still they are on top of this match only because of poor Indian batting.
After India loss their 10 wickets at 46-10 runs in 1st innings of 1st test by New Zealand, team new Zealand became the hot topic of discussion everywhere as well as they won that match too. And now Another test Match is going on between India vs new Zealand. Where new Zealand Scored 259-10 runs in 1st inngins, Devon Conway(76) and Rachin Ravindra(65) were top batsmen who did their half century. And in the 1st inngins, India did 156-10 runs which was lower enough, not decent amount of runs to win in Test format match. It hurts indian fan when Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma lost their wickets with 1 or 0 runs. And so was happened with rest of players. Although some of them like Shubman Gill, jaiswal, Jadeja able to made 30-35 avarage ran for team. Now 2nd innings is going on where New Zealand already scored 198-5 runs where Tom Latham(86) showed his legendary performance and NZ already leads by 301 runs which is huge. Maybe they'll give India around 400 runs target for 2nd innings. Let's see. Mitchell Santner got 7 wickets and Washington Sundar got total 7+4=11 wickets yet. Both are legendary players with their extra ordinary performance
India and New Zealand squad both were participated in second test format match 2 days ago and today second day of this second test match was fully completed. India squad already faced defeat in first match of Test format with big difference and their overall performance in match was very bad and in first inning, they only managed 46 scores in test match and this was unexpecting. Now second test match is ongoing on crease and Both squad played their Frist innings and India squad against displayed their shit performance with just managed 156 scores. Yes they succeeded to restrict New Zealand squad in first inning for 256 low scores. Mitchell Santner New Zealand bowlers expressed their best ever performance in bowling inning against India batter in first innings and they picked up 7 wickets. Second inning of New Zealand squad is ongoing and their squad lead this match with 300 scores with lost 5 batter wickets and if they will collect 200 more scores then this scores will be very hard to achieve and secure victory for India squad and their squad already did not delivering their best performance in this match as well as in previous match. 
India have performed very poorly at their own venue, as we saw the first test match they lost badly, and the second test match going the same way. Bowling line of New Zealand team is very strong especially today Santner took 7 wickets in 19.3 overs and gave only 53 runs his bowling was excellent.
However, today New Zealand bowled out India for 156 runs, and they batted for 198 runs in the second innings for the loss of 5 wickets, and the current lead of New Zealand team is 301 runs. Of course, we can see a better batting performance from the New Zealand team on the third day, if they can give a lead of 400 runs then it will be difficult for India to meet this target. In that case, I think that since the bowling line of the New Zealand team is very good, India will not be allowed to win the second Test match, but New Zealand is still the favorite to win the series.

India team is performing very poorly against New Zealand, I never imagined such a performance from India at home soil. India's Test statistics against New Zealand since 2013 have not been very good. I see a 90% chance for India to lose. India will have to get Aladdin's chore to convert the remaining 10% to 100%. New Zealand still have 5 wickets in the second innings, here we can predict that India is going to get 400+ run target. India's batting collapse against New Zealand does not seem to be possible to win the match against the Kiwis by meeting the target of 400+ runs in an innings. There is no such thing as impossible in cricket, but if India can win the match from this situation then the entire cricketing world will be surprised no doubt.
India team had a very poor batting performance in their first innings, although we saw that the first match was won by New Zealand team, so this match is more important for India. India bowled out the team for 156 runs, New Zealand could not meet the team's target, today India is far behind in that regard. Coming into the second innings, the New Zealand team put in a very good batting performance, although they lost five wickets today, but their runs were much better. India has already given a lead of 301 runs to New Zealand, I think maybe tomorrow New Zealand can give a lead of 400 runs if they bat better. And if the New Zealand team is able to give such a big lead, then India will lose the second Test match, in which case New Zealand will win the series.
In the first match, India's performance and strength were not that special due to which they will lose the match. And if you emphasize in the second match, New Zealand scored 259 runs while playing the first innings and the Indian batsmen will get out after scoring 156 runs in the first innings. And in the second innings New Zealand batsmen still scored 198 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. India's performance is very poor against New Zealand, they look very weak compared to them. If it doesn't play good and quick runs in other innings, it can match. Because this is their last chance, if they lose this match, they will lose the series too. I didn't think India was such a weak team but New Zealand made them a weak team and won the matches. 
Disappointing dismissals of Pant and Kohli, both balls deserved to go to boundary. Indian fielders looked complacent in field. India lost the first game, they must win this match to level the series, I don't get why they are playing like this.
The pitch is completely dry, for which the spinners are getting extra turns. Except Rohit’s wicket, all other players wickets are taken by the spinners. Moreover, Indian batsmen didn’t take the situation seriously, and hence we saw drastically the fall of wickets. I still believe KL Rahul would have been appropriate in the place of Sarfaraz. India needs to take the remaining wickets as soon as they can, as the lead has already crossed 300 runs. Chasing 350+ scores in the final innings that too on a used pitch is very risky. 
India have performed very poorly at their own venue, as we saw the first test match they lost badly, and the second test match going the same way. Bowling line of New Zealand team is very strong especially today Santner took 7 wickets in 19.3 overs and gave only 53 runs his bowling was excellent.

England vs Pakistan
England were not able to collect big in their first innings. So many of us thought that the Pakistan team would be able to take the lead. But as usual the performance of Pakistan's batsmen is very erratic in this match as well. Except Saud Shakeel, no other batsman can bat better. Saud Shakeel remains unbeaten with 84 runs. And Pakistan team lost 7 wickets for 177 runs. At the moment, Pakistan's collection is 206 runs.
If Pakistan can't take the lead then there is a high chance of Pakistan losing this match. Although the Pakistani bowlers bowled very well in the first half. I would say it is very important for Pakistan to take a lead of at least 20/30 runs. If not, Pakistan will lag behind in the match.
Great comeback of Pakistan from 3 wicket down before 50 as a total target to almost 350 with huge contribution from little done saud Shakeel and the magician Sajid and noman whome not only done phenomenal through bowling in rest of thier innings but done ordinary in such critical situation where Pakistan were on Verge of shifting momentum to opponent and they will have lose grip on opponent and out of no where may be england make a comeback but the tail under played a very vital innings and not only filled the required but took a handsome lead which really give them extra confidence. Now in england last innings they lose his three important wicket while now match will depend on brook, root, smith and stokes which I believe Sajid and noman will departure them to pavilion with before any trouble and will successfully after almost 3 year gap will register a test series victory at home ground. England were not able to collect big in their first innings. So many of us thought that the Pakistan team would be able to take the lead. But as usual the performance of Pakistan's batsmen is very erratic in this match as well. Except Saud Shakeel, no other batsman can bat better. Saud Shakeel remains unbeaten with 84 runs.

Disappointing dismissals of Pant and Kohli, both balls deserved to go to boundary. Indian fielders looked complacent in field. India lost the first game, they must win this match to level the series, I don't get why they are playing like this.
You should blame complacency. New Zealand has performed poorly in the past while visiting India. But this time, their bowlers really troubled the Indian batsmen. Mitchell Santner was magnificent during the second test, taking 7 wickets for just 53 runs. The fact that Ajax Patel failed to find his line and length was not even noticed, as Santner and Phillips filled the vacuum. And in the first test, it was the turn of the pacers. Matt Henry and William O’Rourke simply ran through the Indian batting order in the first match.

We never imagined that India would play like this against New Zealand at their own venue. Satner's delivery meant a disaster for the Indian batsmen, picking up 7 wickets and stopping the Indian score at 156 runs. Will India be able to complete the lead of 301 runs given by New Zealand on the second day . This revenge match has created a possibility of defeat for India instead of revenge. If New Zealand gives India a lead of 400 runs then the chances of India losing are high.

England lost their first innings by a huge margin against New Zealand in the second Test match but the result is now very much in New Zealand's favour. In the first innings against New Zealand, India were all out for just 156 runs. Whereas New Zealand has so far collected 158 runs for 5 wickets in the second innings. So far, the New Zealand team is 301 runs ahead of India in two innings. Since they still have 5 wickets in hand, if New Zealand can accumulate 150+ runs on the scoreboard next day, then the target for India will be 450+ plus runs and it will be very difficult to win against a team like New Zealand with 450+ runs.
Since India is playing this series at home, India should have performed better and come into the second test correcting the mistakes they made in the first test but they are making the same mistakes in the second test.
Since India is playing this series at home, India should have performed better and come into the second test correcting the mistakes they made in the first test but they are making the same mistakes in the second test.
After India's defeat in the first Test match, many thought India would come back in the second Test. But India's fans cannot accept that India will lose to New Zealand at their own venue like this. India bowled out New Zealand for 257 runs in their first innings but the fact that India were all out for 156 runs was a true testament to India's failure. So far New Zealand is leading by 301 runs, in this case it will be really impossible to draw the match after India's second innings margin is so big.
Yes no one imagined such a defeat for Indian team at their own venue although they lost the first match badly but the second match was a win for them. But in the current state of their game we can predict a lot that India might lose the match and lose the series. After New Zealand bowled India out for 156 runs, New Zealand's win is very likely as we have seen the New Zealand team's batting performance is good and they have already managed to give a lead of 301 runs. Accordingly we can assume that since they still have five wickets in hand, they might try to bat better and give a great lead. In that case, if India can't build a big lead, they will definitely lose the second Test match and lose the series.
Yes, you are right Pakistan top and middle order poorly perform but tail ender noman ali doing well so far. Pakistan current score is 265 runs in a loss of 7 wickets. Noman ali is playing at 45 runs not out and soud shakeel at 106 runs unbeaten so far. Soud Shakeel impressive batting performance scored a well deserved century that helped Pakistan to cross 250 plus runs in first inning of this final test match if series. The current partnership between Noman ali and Soud Shakeel is more then 85 runs. This partnership will helped Pakistan to scored a good runs on board in first inning. England spinner bowling well picked early wickets today but Soud Shakeel caught dropped at 26 runs will be biggest regret for england. Pakistan trail by just 2 runs and then the lead will start. Pakistan will give a lead of more then 50 runs then there chances of winning series is good.
Now I am looking at Pakistan that they can win this test match. As after losing the seven wickets when Aamer Jamal was out on 177 runs, they were doing good partnerships. Saud Shakeel, Noman Ali and Sajid Khan batting helped Pakistan reach 344 runs, Unbelievable. How strange it is that Noman and Sajid are not only performing good in the bowling, but also they have proved themselves as good allrounders too.
I have a lot of hopes with Saud Shakeel, he made 134 and was the backbone of Pakistan's batting. Pakistan not only got a good lead but also they were able to bowl three of the England batsmen out when England score was only 24. Again among the wicket takers are only Noman and Sajid.
New Zealand lost their fourth wicket by 123 runs. However, Captain Tom Latham is still at the crease after collecting 66 runs. Tom Latham is batting responsibly. Washington Sundar is able to bowl very controlled bowling in the second innings as well as in the first innings. By bowling 15 overs, he was able to pick up important wickets of Washington Sundar.
But in the second innings I expected to see a big innings from Rachin Ravindra. In the first innings as well, Rachin Ravindra scored 65 runs and Conway scored 76 runs. Both these New Zealand batsmen failed to play well in the second innings. Conway was out with 17 runs and Ravindra 9 runs.

At one time when New Zealand made only 259 runs, I thought India would get the lead but how good they bowled again.
I hope now New Zealand will win this game. New Zealand is in the lead of more than 300 runs which is very good. Many days are still left to see and will India may come back in the match or not? I don't think that they can. Even New Zealand's 2nd innings score (198/5) isn't impressive enough, but still they are on top of this match only because of poor Indian batting.
