The key to success in Tests is a bowling attack that can take 20 wickets regardless of conditions and clean up the tail without much ado.

Matt Henry scored 68* and Ajaz Patel 35 runs against Pakistan in 2nd Test match.— CricketMAN2 (@ImTanujSingh) [January 3, 2023] New Zealand eventually ended on 449, settings a stiff total for the hosts regardless of the batting-friendly conditions. Just as the Men in Green looked to wrap things up before lunch, Henry and Patel put on an impressive partnership for the 10th wicket which was worth 88 runs heading into the break. However, a half-century from Tom Blundell steadied the ship a bit for the Kiwis but a couple of quick blows from Abrar Ahmad had them reeling at 345/9. In the past, Pakistan have had some fearless bowling attacks capable of that and much more but were run ragged on Tuesday by a 104-run 10th-wicket partnership.

At the break, Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam were at the crease on 17 and four respectively after New Zealand's tail-enders lifted their team to a handy 449 runs.

Pakistan bowlers managed to bowl out New Zealand on 449 and then scored 154/3 when the umpires called stumps on Day 2.

Imam-ul-Haq and Saud Shakeel avoided further wickets with an unbeaten 55-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Babar looked confident from the beginning but was unfortunate to get run out for 24. Ajaz then dismissed Shan Masood wicket in the 11th over to give Kiwis early control of the match. Abrar removed Ajaz in the second session to end the frustration for the bowlers. After an even battle on Day 1, New Zealand resumed their innings from 309/6 with Tom Blundell and Ish Sodhi in the middle. Pakistan managed to bowl out the visitors on 449 and then scored 154/3 by stumps.

Matt Henry puts New Zealand in control of Karachi Test (The National)

New Zealand surged ahead in the second Test against Pakistan in Karachi after a stubborn last-wicket stand and disciplined bowling effort on Tuesday.

“It should not have happened but sometimes the last wicket becomes tough, it gets teasing and wherever you bowl they get runs. “No doubt that last-wicket 100-run partnership was not beneficial for us,” Pakistan batting coach Mohammad Yousuf said. As was the case in the first Test that ended in a draw with the Kiwis denied victory on day five due to bad light, Pakistan have been on the back foot in this Test as well and will require a massive effort in the first innings to put any kind of pressure on the visitors. Shan Masood continued his miserable form, cutting spinner Patel to point fielder Devon Conway on 20. “Very happy with how we went about our work,” said Henry. And then once we got the field change, we tried to spend some time and actually put together quite a strong performance with the ball.”

Imam ul Haq led Pakistan's resistance with the bat after early blows threatened to derail their reply to New Zealand's 449.

Only off the 42nd ball did Shakeel get off the mark but it allowed Imam to breathe easy at the other end, as the runs began to flow. It resulted in both Babar and Imam being stranded near the striker's end and Pakistan losing their third with less than 100 on board. Patel, after being hit for three boundaries by Shan Masood, had the last laugh by having him caught at point.

With the ball in hand, Henry then removed Abdullah Shafique, before Patel dismissed Shan Masood three overs later to leave the hosts reeling.

At stumps, Pakistan were 154/3, with Imam-ul Haq batting on 74.

Matt Henry and Ajaz Patel went where few bowlers have gone before in helping New Zealand make 449 in the second test against Pakistan.

The left-arm spinner then struck himself, getting Shan Masood caught by Devon Conway at point for 20. Spinners Stephen Boock and John Bracewell were the only pair of bowlers to crack three figures before Henry and Patel, putting on 126 in the first innings against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1985. Batting at No 4, Hastings made 110, while No 11 Collinge was unbeaten on 68, which remains the highest score by the last man in for New Zealand and stood as the highest such score by anyone in the world for almost 32 years – an honour that now belongs to Australian Ashton Agar, who made 98 in the 2013 Ashes. [having made 127 against Bangladesh in Chattogram in 2013](https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/9271125/BJ-Watling-knock-a-necessity-on-placid-pitch), taking the Black Caps from 342-9 to 468 all out in the first innings of a test that was eventually drawn. The record of 151 belongs to Brian Hastings and Richard Collinge, who came together at 251-9 in the second innings of a test against Pakistan at Eden Park in Auckland in 1973 and got New Zealand through to 402 – the exact same score the visitors made in what turned out to be a draw. Matt Henry and Ajaz Patel became the sixth last-wicket pair to put together a century partnership for New Zealand in men’s test cricket as they helped the Black Caps overcome a middle-order collapse.
