Commentary -
That's all we have for you from here. Do join us for the 3rd and the final test, which begins at Napier on December 11th. Until then it's good bye from all of us here.....
Asif is the Man of the Match: I enjoyed bowling on this track. The ball was moving off the seam when we were batting. A good sporting wicket, if you pitch it in right areas, you will get the results. We have a few days rest and we hope to continue the winning streak in Napier.
Yousuf: I thank the mighty Allah. All credit to the bowlers. I think Kamran played well in the first innings. Umar played aggressively in the second and I find it hard to stop him sometimes. I am disappointed with our catching and we'll try to have more practice sessions. I am really happy after this win as it has come after a long time.
Vettori: We lost the test because we were bowled out for 99 in the first innings. Apart from Rossco everyone comes under scrutiny. But I am happy with our bowling effort. Napier is a good batting track, hopefully the batting comes good there. An excellent sporting wicket at the Basin Reserve
An emphatic win in the end for Pakistan as they beat New Zealand by 141 runs to level the series. It was their bowlers who set up the game by bundling out the Kiwis for 99 in their first innings. Asif was superb in this match as well, hitting the right line and length and he has now taken 17 wickets so far in this series. Aamer and Kaneria supported him well all throughout the match. The only area of concern is their fielding which looked pathetic in this game. New Zealand on the other hand will be looking forward to making some changes in their top order, which has been their weak link so far. Pakistan have now won their 3rd consecutive match at the Basin Reserve.

That brings to an end to another exciting day's play. Pakistan started the day by stretching the lead past 400, thanks mainly to a patient innings by Yousuf, who was ably supported by Misbah and Umar. Chasing a huge target of 405 to win, the Kiwis started badly by losing wickets at regular intervals as they had no answer to Asif's pace and swing. Taylor and Fulton, who both survived a chance have so far put on 33 runs for the 4th wicket. They still need 335 more runs to win. Can they keep their wickets intact? To find out do join us tomorrow. Until then it's good bye from all of us here.....

That's Stumps on day 2. An engrossing day's play here at the Basin Reserve. Pakistan started the day by extending their first innings score beyond 250, as the tail wagged in the company of Kamran. Then the Kiwis were done in by a superior bowling performance to be skittled out for 99, their lowest total at the Basin Reserve. Asif picked up 4 wickets for the third consecutive time in this series and Kaneria, who found some turn on this track bagged three wickets. Pakistan now lead by 229 runs and will look forward to stretch the lead beyond 350 tomorrow. New Zealand on the other hand will try to restrict them to a chaseable total. Do join us again tomorrow for another exciting day's play. Until then it's good bye from all of us here....

That's Stumps. An eventful day in the end. After being inserted into bat, Pakistani openers got off to a sedate start and lost no wickets in 32 overs, adding 60 runs for the first wicket. Then they lost wickets at regular intervals with 4 out of 6 wickets due to bad-shot selection. They squandered a steady start and now find themselves in a precarious situation. Vetto used his arm-ball well and picked up 3 wickets. Tuffey, playing his first test after 5 years, struck twice after tea to put Pakistan under the mat. Umar promoted to number 3 played aggressively and missed out on another fifty. Kamran has been playing positively at the moment and Pakistan will depend on him to take the total beyond 200 when they come out to bat tomorrow. Remember play will start half-an-hour early to make up for the lost time. Do join us again tomorrow. Until then it's good bye from all of us here...

Update 00:45 GMT: Tuffey comes in for Bond. A minimum of 83 overs to be bowled today and the play is extended by an hour to make up for the lost time.
New Zealand have won the toss and elected to field
Update 00:40 GMT: Some good news from the ground. The play will start at 01:10 GMT.
Update 23:55 GMT: Simon Taufel feels the soppers may have softened the run-up and they will have a look at it every half-hour.
Update 23:45 GMT: The two captains were out for the toss with their blazers on and were not too happy with the run up at the northern end as it was too damp. They had a discussion with the match referee and the umpires and were not satified with the conditions. So the toss has been delayed. We are in for a delay in the proceedings.....
Update 23:25 GMT: The run-up at the northern end is still damp and both the captains are not happy about it. So we'll have a slight delay here....
The news from the ground is the play will get under way at 23:45 GMT.
Update 23:00 GMT: The news from the middle is the sun is out and the covers are off. The Basin Reserve in Wellington is hosting it's 50th Test today and looks like we'll see some action soon.
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the second test between New Zealand and Pakistan. After the loss in the first test, Pakistan will be looking to comeback with a bang. The Kiwis on the other hand will look to clinch the series. The news isn't pleasing from the ground as it has rained a bit last night and the start is delayed due to wet outfield. Stay tuned for further information..
Preview by Srivathsa
If proof was needed that Test cricket still has some way to go before it is consigned to the dustbin, then one should have watched the Dunedin Test. A match that see-sawed from one extreme to the other until the final hour, when the Kiwis held their nerve better than Pakistan to emerge victorious in a thrilling encounter. There was everything one would want to see - breathtaking swing bowling, breath-taking strokeplay, edge of the seat drama, magnificent fielding, a hundred and a fifty on debut from a young tyro, sensational comebacks from two fine seam and swing bowlers and finally a result in the last hour of the game. So when Pakistan meet New Zealand at the Basin Reserve in Wellington for the second Test, it would be a hard act to follow Dunedin for both the teams.
The Kiwis, who before the Dunedin Test had last won a Test match (excluding ones against Bangladesh) way back in March 2008 against England - they had played 16 more matches after that before finally winning last week - had to thank two men in particular for that victory: Shane Bond and Ross Taylor. Bond put in an impressive performance in his comeback Test to script a fine victory for his side, while Taylor batted resolutely in both the innings and was unlucky not to make a hundred in at least one of the innings. The Kiwis held on to all their catches as well, which in a large way contributed to their win. While Bond and Taylor were instrumental in the victory, one should not overlook the role played by Iain O'Brien and Daniel Vettori. O'Brien, who mostly bowled into the wind, scalped the crucial wicket of Kamran Akmal in the second innings after taking a smashing blow to his finger and needing treatment from the physio. Vettori quickly mopped up the tail in the second innings and also starred with the bat in the first essay making 99. He also was quite spot on with his captaincy as he rung in the changes at opportune moments and never let the foot off the pedal.
Pakistan are a side that can either destruct or self destruct, and in recent times, especially in the longer format of the game it is the latter which is happening regularly. After squandering two golden chances to win Test matches in Sri Lanka earlier in the year, they managed to do the same again in Dunedin. There were lots of positives to come out for Pakistan from the Dunedin match though - one being the emergence of a true batting star in Umar Akmal who produced two contrasting efforts with the willow to confirm his reputation as one of the best batsman to come out of Pakistan since Inzamam-ul-Haq. The other was the fine comeback by Mohammad Asif who took 8 wickets in the game and would have got many more, if not for the butter fingered Pakistani fielders. Moving the ball both ways and getting it to talk at pace, Asif is well and truly back. The top order batting, though, still remains a major bug bear for the Pakistani team as none of the top three inspire confidence. With Shoaib Malik too struggling, Pakistan badly need a solid effort from their middle-order, otherwise there could be a repeat of Dunedin at Wellington.
Team News:
Shane Bond was ruled out of the remaining two matches after an abdominal muscle tear. Another ICL man, Daryl Tuffey is expected to replace Bond. There are concerns over Daniel Flynn's form, but he is likely to get another chance.
Misbah-Ul-Haq has been flown in as a replacement for Younis Khan and he may come in to the side at the expense of the disappointing Fawad Alam.
Pitch and weather conditions:
Basin Reserve is one of the oldest Test match grounds in New Zealand. Wellington is also one of the windiest cities in the world. It traditionally favors the seam bowlers as a gentle breeze blows across the ground. The pitch for the game is one the fast bowlers would relish as some grass cover is seen. Weather could prove to be a hindrance as showers are predicted for the first three days of the game.
Numbers game:
2: the number of draws in the last 10 matches at Wellington.
47: the number of wickets Chris Martin has in 10 games at the Basin Reserve with four five wicket hauls.
Quotes:
Just rerun the tapes mate - Shane Bond can't quite hide his disappointment after suffering yet another injury which rules him out of the next two matches against Pakistan.
We're not playing test cricket regularly and you really need to apply yourself, get used to the conditions and stay at the wicket - Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam on what it needs from Pakistan to turn the tables.
