Pakistan ended the day with 109-0. I told before that it won't be easy to win against Pakistan. Now this match is well under our control. We need only 93 more runs and it should not be a problem with 10 full wickets in the hand. Bangladesh played well in the first innings but they failed to produce a similar sort of batting display in the 2nd innings.

Pakistan from here on will win unless they do some blunder. Bangladesh is weak team so can't say its difficult to beat Pakistan.  Shafique is having an ideal test debut, not many have such start along with other opener Abid. Bangladesh got lead in first innings but they collapsed in second innings, giving an edge to Pakistan.

Wow what a match!! Nail biting draw...

NZ survived and debutant Rachin Ravindra (Combination of Ra-hul and Sa-chin, his parents were fan of Rahul Dravid and Sachin) is a hero for kiwis.

In my recent memory especially on Indian pitches, i don't remember any match which went this close. One team needed just 1 wicket and other was on surviving mode and match has been called off due to bad lights. They lost 10 mins of game here, anything could have happen in those 10 mins. India would be very disappointing.

It is really good luck for New zealand because I don't think they would have survived the bowling of India. But the last pair did their job and survived. My question is to the top order and Middle-order that what were they playing for? Their batting order failed completely today and they are lucky to come out with withdrawal from this match.
The Indians almost getting close pulled off a win today! India fought back in the second session and almost close won the match in the third session. However, New Zealand deserves credit for their performance. The Kiwi batsmen fought valiantly against quality Indian spinners and were rewarded with a draw. When the game is tight and you have tail enders trying to save it under immense pressure, a couple of overs would've been helpful. Overall a good contest.

I think Newzealand is really lucky to even draw the match because they were dominated by the Indian bowlers. I think they were really lucky to even survive with the last wicket. But I think the last pair did well enough to defend the bonus and come out with a draw.
Now India leads the series by 1-0.

Credit for this draw goes to Ravindra and Patel without that partnership it won't be possible for NZ to draw the game. Can somebody share stats of what's the longest last wicket partnership for such draws? I guess there are not much partnerships like that AFAIK.

Bangladesh managed to score only 156 runs in their second innings. And gave Pakistan a target of 202 runs. That's not enough to win. If they had given a target of 250 runs, then maybe the match would have been drawn or Bangladesh would have won. Pakshithan scored 36 runs without losing a wicket.

NZ are crumbling thanks to the legendary Ashwin-Jadeja combo who picked up some crucial wickets between them. India are going all in to win this one while the NZ batsmen are desperately trying to force a draw.

Also, Ashwin(Legend) has officially become the 3rd highest wicket-taker for India in tests surpassing Harbhajan and will probably surpass Kapil Dev soon too, but Kumble is in another league.

New Zealand is already 9 wickets down and they have to score 125 runs in 32 balls. Which is physically impossible. Their only hope is that if they can survive these 32 balls and play these overs out, they might be able to end the match with a draw. Other than that I think ok India will pressure really hard to get that last wicket and win this match.

New Zealand is in crisis right now. India gave New Zealand a target of 284 runs. New Zealand lost the first wicket of the day by 79 runs and the second wicket lost by 118 runs. At the moment New Zealand has lost 5 wickets for 126 runs. New Zealand will probably get another chance to play 28-30 overs. Maybe India will win or the match will be a draw.
Very unprofessional gameplay for New Zealand batsmen. Henry Nicholls managed just 2 runs in the first innings. After collecting only 1 run in the second innings, he returned to the dressing room. Ross Taylor's collection is 11 in the first innings, only 2 in the second innings. Since now their goal is to draw the match. They should have patiently tried to stay on the crease for a while.

You're right. Since Taylor and Nicholls didn't do well in the first inning. So they should have done a little better in this innings. They could not do that. Tom Blundell scored 13 runs in the first innings off 94 balls. If you do the same in the second innings, then New Zealand will be able to draw the match.

You really can't hate this New Zealand team, nice guys and always play top notch cricket against everyone (Not Australia tho). Match is heading into last session and draw seems favorable option. Kiwis are already playing for draw, draw here is win for them. They are 4 down so India really want couple of quick wickets to make thing interesting.

India need 6 wickets and NZ need 158 runs to win, 31 overs left.

Oh wow now 5 wickets.

The match will start on the third day of the first Test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan. Bangladesh made 39 in their second innings till yesterday, losing 4 wickets. In this thread yesterday, someone said that even if Bangladesh loses all the wickets in 100 runs, he will not be surprised. Now it is seen that Bangladesh is likely to lose all the wickets in 100 runs. If Liton and Mushfiqur get out fast today, they will be able to collect more than 50-60 on the scoreboard of all other batsmen.
Mushfiqur Rahim has been out. He managed to add only 16 runs to the scoreboard. Now the last hope of Bangladesh team is Liton and Miraj. Yasir Ali is now with Liton at the crease. He is a new player, less experienced. If Liton and Miraj can't play well then Bangladesh is going to lose in one more test match.

Bangladesh lost 5 wickets to collect 100 runs. Yasir Ali is out of the field due to injury. Now batting are Liton Das and Miraj. Bangladesh pair can somehow collect 101 more runs. And gave Pakistan a target of 240-250. Will be a good enough target. But if Bangladesh gives less than 200 target then they will be defeated. Bangladesh and ahead by 145 runs.

India gave New Zealand a target of 284 runs. Since New Zealand had only one day, it was a big enough target. On the fifth day, the bowlers still get some extra advantage on the pitch. So it's a good enough target to fight. New Zealand scored 56 runs losing just one wicket. They need 228 runs to win. The match is more likely to be a draw.

New Zealand had a great opportunity to pull off an upset, but they wasted it. At one point, India were at 51/5, with a lead of just 100 runs. Ideally they should have wrapped up the proceedings in quick time and set a target of 120-130. But the Indian lower order provided fierce resistance, especially Ravichandran Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha and Axar Patel. Shreyas Iyer impressed once again. And the weakest point for New Zealand was their spinners. In this match, they proved to be completely useless.

Pakistan can still fight and win the match, all they need to do is restrict Bangladesh as soon as possible and chase something below 200 runs and they have the batsman that are good playing against the spin.

When it comes to New Zealand they are not known to play spin very well especially in Asian conditions and hence it is a huge task for them to face spin the entire day and go for the win. From what i predict, they will play positive cricket and if wickets starts falling and the pitch is horrible to bat, then they will try to play defensively and it will create problems to some of the batsman.
I am not confident about Kiwis that they can survive in this situation with last day pitch is very helpful for spinners and three quality spinners bowling against you with not good experienced batsman very hard task for visitors but still as situation going all possibilities available for both teams with big advantage to home team. If they decided for defensively then surely it's mean they are going for suicide and playing positive game mean they are going to open both doors for their own self as win or draw because we can't right off them here they are good and better team for all conditions after having very good results in England and recently in the UAE.
 
First ten overs scoring is much important for both the teams, if India gets two or three wickets New Zealand will experience pressure which will further make the team play defensive than a positive game. If New Zealand makes atleast 60 runs by the first ten overs without wicket fall, pressure will increase on the Indian bowlers. This can help with the New Zealand keep up the play and move towards the target. India having home team advantage adds strength to them.
