Pakistan vs New Zealand, 2nd Test, New Zealand tour of Pakistan, 2022-23 - CommentaryPAK vs NZ, 2nd Test, New Zealand tour of Pakistan, 2022-23 - Commentary

Shabbir Hamdulay: Shakeel has to play normally as he has been playing all series, as runs are also important to get close to New Zealand total

Rishabh: What a day for Matt Henry and Ajaz Patel involved in another partnership to provide first breakthrough to NZ

CricB: 50 from Number 10 batter speaks volumes about the kind of surface for batting. Test cricket is being mocked by Pakistan by preparing these flat roads. 'This pitch isn't flat though'

ANKIT SHUKLA: Crucial runs! These runs are going to hurt Pakistan.

Daksh Satija: Blundell will be key here. I feel he has replaced Watling to perfection, just needs one or two more defining innings apart from the century against Australia in 2019

kathan: Is there a reason or penalty for Naseem's inability to bowl after 5:05 on Cricbuzz? -- He was off the field twice before that, so had to wait a certain time to be able to bowl again.

Mustafa Moudi: After two 100 partnerships, NZ has now lost the last 5 wickets within 45 Runs. Great comeback from the home side. Chances for a result seems brighter now !!

Mohsin Qahraman: Since i'm doing my home work, just love the way cricbuzz is commentating that never let you close the tab. especially the way they were praising Naseem Shah bowling to Kane before he got him. just amazing! -- Thank you, Mohsin

manan: By playing on these pitches, Pakistan are neither doing justice to themselves nor to NZ. Batters paradise though!!

Rohith: A runrate of 4.5 in the very first hour after winning the toss and batting on a greenish pitch. Looks like the Kiwis have changed their strategy from the last game.

Sharath J: Pakistan have surely misread the Pitch. The green color seems to be just a mere deception and the pitch behaviour seems to be same as the previous tests. This is going to be a long innings for Pakistan unless Abrar does something special.

Faheem: How pitch is behaving? is it different from the last match? 'A bit more grass and a bit of moisture around'

Sachin Bansal: I feel Pakistan may have done an error by dropping Numan Ali at the expense of adding one extra pacer. Hamza could have made way for Naseem Shah and we all know, Numan could even bat a little & hang around with top order batsmen when required.

Dhiraj Rao: Interesting to see if Pak/NZ will play a brand of cricket that will help to get a result in the series, considering the tame draw last week
