Hassan Rahim: "I seem to remember Waqar Younis', Pakistan's Coach, 100th Test wicket was Latham's dad Rod, and a mighty yorker that was, can you confirm please?" Well, he started the 1993 Hamilton Test on 93 wickets, and took nine wickets in the match. His seventh wicket in the match, his third in the second innings, was of Chris Harris. He did bowl Rod Latham for his 99th, though. Not sure if it was a yorker.

4.53pm Will Pakistan enforce the follow-on? We will let you know very soon. Pakistan's openers ran quickly back to the dressing room, as did Watling, so I assume they haven't. Yup. Pakistan will bat again. They'll have to face seven overs today. Just like New Zealand yesterday evening.

Zulfiqar Babar to Watling, OUT, given! goes for the sweep from outside off, and the ball slides on and hits him on the back thigh. Loud appeal, and the umpire didn't take long to give him out. Watling's reviewed, but he looks dead and buried here. hit him in front of the inside of off stump and is hitting the inside of leg stump. Up goes the umpire's finger once more.

Zulfiqar Babar to Watling, no run, tossed up, came forward, not quite to the pitch, gets a soft outside edge that bounces short of gully
87.1
0
Zulfiqar Babar to Watling, no run, flat, angling in towards middle and leg and it turns past his outside edge and misses off stump as he looks to defend off the back foot

Boult is in at No. 11. New Zealand are 304 behind, and need 105 to avoid the follow-on

END OF OVER:
87 | 1 Run 1 Wkt | NZ: 262/9

Yasir Shah to Sodhi, OUT, makes the same mistake twice in a row and Yasir gets his man. Again he went on the back foot, playing the trajectory rather than the length, and it's the googly this time, not too much turn but he still cramped him and he chopped it onto his stumps, looking to cut
