New Zealand 104 for 3 (Raval 55*, Nicholls 29*) trail Pakistan 133 (Misbah 31, de Grandhomme 6-41, Southee 2-20) by 29 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsIt was a tale of two debutants on a fascinating day of Test cricket where ball dominated the bat. Although the final analysis of 13 wickets for 237 runs would suggest a menacing surface, the truth was that a lot of batsmen, especially from Pakistan, were out poking or trying to play expansive drives. New Zealand fared much better with the bat, and held the aces as the first Test moved forward at a breakneck speed despite an entire day being washed out by rain in Christchurch.Colin de Grandhomme, the Harare-born Auckland allrounder who had previously taken just one five-wicket haul in 83 first-class games, had the best figures (6 for 41) by a New Zealand debutant. It meant Pakistan, sent in to bat, were rolled over for 133. Misbah-ul-Haq, captaining his country for the 50th time, top scored with a typically feisty 31 off 108 deliveries during the course of which he proved it was the top orders impatience and not a menacing Hagley Oval green top that contributed to their downfall; no other batsman crossed 20.In reply, Jeet Raval, the other debutant, replacing Martin Guptill, overcame a testing new-ball burst to finish 55 not out as New Zealand recovered from early losses of Tom Latham, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor to end on 104 for 3, trailing by just 29 runs. Playing late and committing himself wholeheartedly to his strokes, both off the front and back foot, he picked off seven boundaries and looked at ease even as his partners largely struggled; particularly against Mohammad Amir in a probing opening spell that read 6-2-6-1.Things could have been much worse for New Zealand had Henry Nicholls, replacing Luke Ronchi, not substituted flamboyance for grit and patience to finish unbeaten on 29. The fourth-wicket pair added 64, but in blunting out 19.4 overs, they ensured New Zealand had limited the new-ball damage to potentially make run-scoring a lot easier on the morrow.The surface demanded patience which Pakistan clearly lacked, as their top order crumbled after a solid 31-run opening stand that frustrated New Zealand. In trying to bowl full and swing the ball late, their new ball pair of Tim Southee and Trent Boult either slipping the ball down the leg side or bowl it full and wide in the first hour as Sami Aslam and Azhar Ali went into their shell, seemingly happy to blunt the new ball. Then Williamson turned to de Grandhommes seam-ups over Neil Wagners bustling pace, and the move worked immediately. After two poor overs in which he sprayed the ball, de Grandhomme broke through when he scythed through Azhars defence with an in-dipper. The old adage of one brings two ensured when Southee, brought back form the other end, sent back Aslam, who jabbed hard to get a thick edge to Raval at second slip.Babar Azam was reprieved on 4, but couldnt curb his instincts of trying to drive on the up as he was also pouched in the slips. When Younis Khans flashy cover drive to a delivery he could have left alone off de Grandhomme was pouched by Raval in the cordon, Pakistan had sensationally slipped from 31 without loss to 56 for 4.Pakistan slowly rebuilt through a 32-run stand, but the lunch break came to New Zealands rescue as Asad Shafiq, demoted to No. 6 after a fruitless stint at No. 3 in the UAE, poked one to gully. Sarfraz Ahmed tried to unsettle the bowlers by walking outside the crease, giving bowlers the charge and play a typically aggressive game. Not even being hit on the helmet by a steep bouncer altered his approach. Eventually a tame waft resulted in a simple catch at gully to a relieved Todd Astle, who put down a chance earlier in the day.Watching the carnage unfold, Misbah continued to bat on in the hope that he would find some support from the tail. But such was the nature of Pakistans collapse that Williamson resisted temptation to give his faster men a break, and go for the kill. Boult and Southee overcame insipid starts to finish with two wickets apiece.For a while it looked like New Zealands top order would match Pakistans indiscretions. After Tom Latham was lbw to Amir, Williamson, in particular, fell tamely when he pushed away from the body - neither attempting a punch nor a full-blooded cut shot - to be caught at slip. Ross Taylor, all at sea against Sohail Khans late away-swing, was snaffled down leg side to extend his lean patch to 10 innings now to open up the game.With over 25 overs left, two more wickets then may have tilted the scales Pakistans way. That it didnt was largely due to Ravals steadfast determination and Nicholls grit that capped off an eventful day. Yeezy Boost 350 v2 Cream White Pas Cher .

Having been dropped on 36 early in the morning session, the No 7 took full advantage and piled on the runs as England eventually declared on 498-9 in the afternoon session.From there the bowlers took over and reduced Sri Lanka to 91-8, still 407 behind, at stumps, with Chris Woakes taking 3-9 in seven overs. Moeen Ali celebrates his 150 at Durham Having started the day on 310-6, England had some good fortune as both Ali and Woakes were given early lifelines.First, Ali sent a thick edge to Dimuth Karunaratne at gully off the bowling of Nuwan Pradeep before a regulation edge from Woakes was completely missed by Dinesh Chandimal behind the stumps - Shaminda Eranga the disbelieving bowler.The pair made Sri Lanka pay for their slackness in the field and had put 92 for seventh wicket, Ali going past 50, before Suranga Lakmal had Woakes (39) caught behind.Broad (7) followed - nicking Pradeep through to the keeper - but with Ali going well, England reached lunch at 408-8 and kicked on again after the interval.Having nurdled his way through the nineties, Ali brought up his second Test century with a lofted drive over mid-off for four and continued in much the same vein thereafter. Steven Finn (10) provided steady support from the other end before topping edging a Rangana Herath delivery straight up; the left-arm spinner took the return catch to claiim his 300th Test wicket but was brought back down to earth as No 11 James Anderson promptly reverse swept him for four.ddddddddddddAli launched Lakmal for six over midwicket to bring up his 150 and the declaration came soon after with England two shy of 500.Sri Lankas openers were left with half an hour to navigate before tea but they were unable to see it through; Anderson bowling Karunaratne behind his legs.Kaushal Silva and Kusal Mendis kept the runs flowing at a decent rate after tea but a fine low catch from Jonny Bairstow broke their 34-run stand after Broad had found Silvas edge. Chris Woakes enjoyed an excellent spell, taking 3-9 Anderson (2-31) then nicked out Chandimal - Alastair Cook taking the catch at first slip - and a superb spell from Woakes left Sri Lanka in the mire at 67-6.The Warwickshire all-rounder hit his areas and had Angelo Mathews and Milinda Siriwardana caught behind with Mendis edging a rising delivery to Anderson at gully in between.Lahiru Thirimanne and Herath dug in for a spell but Broad (3-35) returned to dismiss the latter; Anderson taking another sharp catch at gully and a brilliant one-handed catch from Joe Root - reacting after James Vince was unable to hold on at full stretch - later in the same over did for Eranga, rounding off a near-perfect day for England.Watch day three of the second Investec Test from 10.30am, Sunday, Sky Sports 2.
