When Pakistan lost 4 quick wickets in first session of Day 1, I had the feeling that this pitch is good for bowling. As the game progressed, it turn out that its another road. Pakistan's record, even on such roads, is not too good as they have lost series recently to Aus and England. Also Multan test is also shifted to karachi because of foggy weather in Multan. So we will see 2 test on this pitch.

I wonder why Pakistan did not create pitches that would help the spinners and test the New Zealand batsman as they do not have quality spinners while Pakistan has some new talents and i was surprised to see that New Zealand got to a flying start without loosing any wickets and most probably this match will end up in a draw.

I am seeing Pakistan still playing with three spinners and two fast bowlers and this pitch can't take any benefits to them for the condition.

I think pitch help batter rather than bowler and that the reason they didn't get any wicket in early overs of the game. Phenomenal partnership by early two batter of the new Zealand after that the new Zealand old captain take responsibility and hold on a pitch for a long time in order to build partnership which will help them to chase this big target. Williamson play a phenomenal inning of 80+ runs and still he is on. I think kiwi will easily hit the target because just 4 wickets of them are dismissed, I think Pakistan news changes in bowling lineup.

Kiwis looking good at the moment. It seems they will be able to chase 438 runs, they are short by 235 runs and have only lost 1 wicket. Karachi wicket is just like a flat road, not at all helpfull for the bowlers. I hate when such pitches are created for a test match. Pakistan did the same when they hosted England earlier and the result was not in favour of them. This match in my opinion is going the same Highway.

We have different administration in PCB now but same pitch condition. Rawalpindi pitch has already got 2 demerits point and is heading towards ban, I guess same will happen with karachi pitch. NZ are 115 runs behind Pakistan, Devon Conway was unlukcy to miss his hundred by 8 runs. Nothing much to discuss about Pakistan bowling as its not bowlers fault to bowl on such highway.

New Zealand now come out to bat. New Zealand scored 194 runs in 58 overs. So far New Zealand have lost 1 wicket. They still have 9 wickets left. Their run rate is now 3.34. Pakistan batted well but now they are bowling. Pakistan is not doing very well. New Zealand batsman Tom Latham has started batting very well. He scored 96 runs off 157 balls. If he can score 4 more runs, he will reach 100 runs in today's match.

Pakistan batted very well, but now it seems they should have done better. Because New Zealand seems to cross the 438 run barrier very easily. Pakistan should have collected more than 500. New Zealand scored 211 runs losing only 1 wicket. Opener Tom Latham remains unbeaten on 105 runs. New Zealand needs only 227 runs to collect 438 runs.

Pakistan after having an impressive day yesterday is now again struggling on their homeground. Babar Azam was the only reason why they were able to score 350+ runs and now after he got out they have lost 6 wickets and are unable to score runs. Overall I am certain they would be able to reach to 400 runs which in my opinion is good score and it wouldn't be easy for Kiwi batter to chase those runs.

The Karachi Test match could have been Pakistan's or Pakistan's remarkable score of 500 runs had the next four batsmen not been dismissed for just 16 runs. Pakistan has developed a weak point here. Moreover, New Zealand has already collected 165 runs without losing any wicket. Barring a significant miracle, this match is more likely to be a draw rather than a win or loss.

As expected, South Africa are in dire straits, as Australia looks set to make a total of 500 plus. At this point, they are at 489/7, with Alex Carey and Cameron Green at crease. The South African bowlers were highly ineffective, perhaps with the exception of Anrich Nortje. Keshav Maharaj never looked as if he is going to trouble any of the Oz batsmen, and the promising Marco Jansen failed to pick up a single wicket. Australia leading by more than 300 runs at this point and the declaration may come at any point. Kagiso Rabada picked up 2 wickets, but overall he was disappointing.

3rd big home series for Pakistan and another road is prepared to welcome SENA country. This is happening in an era where every random country at least tries to introduce result-oriented pitches.

No wonder stands are empty throughout this run fest barring a few days in 32 active days of test cricket.

Let's hope there are some cracks for spinners on the 4th- 5th day otherwise it would be good to introduce bowling machines for such pitches.

Oh wow, so Karachi gets to host 3 back to back matches in just 20 days?

After watching end of the second day play at Karachi I have feeling Pakistan cricket is still behind from International cricket around 15 to 20 years because they have no idea how to handle things at home against top teams and how to attract fans in stadium for the entertaining cricket which is surely the worst part of these last three big tours from SENA countries which mostly ended in lost of Pakistan and now in this test match most chances we are not going to have any big change just any collapse from Kiwis can help Pakistan which is also looking not happened.

~edited~

Pitches for domestic cricket were pretty good tho, majority of em produced 250-300 runs matches on average and had a fair amount of assistance for bowlers with grass on.

Also, PCB offered competitive pitches when SA toured them last time, which happened with Bangbros too.

Australia lost 6 wickets, scored 420 runs but the lead is only 200+ runs. Green is also retired hurt, hopefully he will come back when required. If they want to win this match Australia needs a lead of 300+ runs and I am hoping they will be able to get those. It is only day 3 plenty of cricket still left in this game. A great come back for Warner sadly he could not continue after scoring 200 runs.

A good fight between bat and ball at MCG now Australia is leading by 251 runs and having three wickets remaining into their first inning Cameroon Green and Alex Carey at the crease but Nortje done good damage to Australia as he takes important wickets specially Warner bowled without adding run to his last day score.

Here I have feeling you are missing that Australia is batting in his first inning and leading by 251 runs with they have to bat again as South Africa will not good at batting, and they will be lost this match by big margin or most chances by an inning.

And I also think that if New Zealand's batting continues like this, they will be able to surpass the target given by Pakistan easily. And if New Zealand can improve their bowling performance in the next innings then I think New Zealand can win this match.

I think Pakistan played well in their first innings match 438 runs it is not a small amount . Although their top-order three batsmen failed to score or sustain at the start, but Babar Azam and Agha Salman's good performances enabled them to achieve this score. But New Zealand are also not talking them too easily, they have also scored 165 runs for zero wickets so far. I think New Zealand have the ability to touch Pakistan's target and they are only 273 runs behind with 10 wickets to spare.

Australians are dominating south Africa in this 2nd test match of the series, at first warner score runs too slowly but after set on pitch he almost hit 16 boundaries as well 2 six and score a stunning double century what a gem player, but unfortunately when he jump during celebration of his double century he hit with ground and got injured, after injury he left the ground and replace with other batter.

Warner was struggling with his fitness even before reaching his double century as he was really exhausted and it was a really hot day and Green is also injured and retired, despite these Australia is in a great position and should win the match easily.

The way Australia defeat South Africa in First team I am pretty sure that they will easy beat them in second test match, because they has score 386 in 90 over while just 3 batter are dismissed.

I also agreeing with your words that Australia is much ahead in the percentage of winning probability of this match. A great performance by David Warner today I thought he will remain in the strike more time but unfortunately he got injured even the I think South Africa will have to in Trouble to face this target . So I still think Australia will win this match and in this Test series also they will decide the win through this match.

Warner got to his 200 and then retired hurt. He seems to be in trouble and has difficulty in walking back to the pavillion. Meanwhile Keshav Maharaj has hit a century for South Africa. He has conceded 102 runs till now. Now it is up to Cameroon Green and Travis Head to take Australia to a total where they don't need to bat again. Till now the South African bowlers have conceded 344 runs and taken just two wickets with the ball. And this is the same MCG pitch where they were bowled out for a total of less than 200.

Even few controversies but still an idea career for this lefty from Australia who completed his 100 test matches and having 8122 runs with 25 hundreds and 34 fifties I love thing is his strike rate in test matches 71 which is amazing and having treble hundred in front of his name is also one of the ideal thing for any test batsman now 36 years old means his days are numbered in this game but still good player in all three formats.

After end of second day play situation looking completely one-sided for Australia they are leading by 197 runs and have seven wickets in hand mean 150+ runs we can expect from them on third day and then another an inning win for them as well because South African batting is completely crap in last three innings which can't handle Australian quality bowling.

Devon Conway looking very impressive as he completed his 1000 test runs with the average of 55, and hopefully he will complete his another test hundred on this GT Road which could be good for his career mystery spinner is having nothing in this inning until know even having 17 overs today early Southee done good job and bowled out Babar Azam early which helps them for wrapping up their inning quickly with Salman who is playing his sixth test match having his first test hundred.

Pakistan ended up their inningd on 438 runs all out , Good match played by Pakistani batsman Babar Azam, Sarfaraz and Agha Salman. So the decision taken by PCB so far seems to be good for Pakistan team.
Newzealand is batting now and they are very much settled on pitch as they have made 143 runs no loss of wickets. Latham and Conway made their half centuries if they keep on batting like that the match is very much in theri control.

Surely this was a good score for Pakistan on this flat pitch and New Zealand were lucky to have four early wickets on first day but after this completely batsmen dominating with no help for any bowler which is surely not positive development for the test format and team like Pakistan which is looking for improving cricketing ties with SENA countries even change of management is happening late but still they are not doing good things in this way they surely have to change their mindset for better results.

Good comeback for the veteran Sarfraz and good inning from Agha Salman who is playing his sixth test match having first test hundred but still he is not near the Fawad Alam who is suffering again just because of having not powerful sources for keeping his place in test team.

Several changes are done in Pakistan team and hoping for them as good changes. Shahid Afridi as chief selector is a good decision by Pakistan cricket board as he knows about cricketers and hopefully will go fair while selecting team.
Sarfaraz came back strong and shut all the people speculations about him

Like the first Test, the Australian players continued to dominate the second Test. They are playing very well. They collected 386 runs losing only 3 wickets. South Africa on the other hand continued their poor performance. South Africa's first innings ended with just 189 runs. I think South Africa will lose this match by innings. Australia must score at least 500 runs, after which they declare an innings.
