Cricket: Yasir Shah claims bowling record as Pakistan's level test series against New Zealand

He faced more resistance, but Yasir Shah finally finished what he had started, sending the series of tests between New Zealand and Pakistan to a decisive point.

Shah claimed the best bowling figures ever against New Zealand, finishing with a score of 14-184, while Pakistan won the race by one inning and 16 points to tie the series of three tries 1-1.

New Zealand has always had little chance of repeating its impressive victory in the first test – after winning two consecutive victories against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

However, their defeat raised serious questions about their ability to win the decisive test Monday in Abu Dhabi, despite a brief fight in the second set.

Black Caps captain Kane Williamson has had the heart after his effort of 312 for the second time, but he knows his team must be more efficient against the rotation to hope to win the series.

"Having 300 balls last was a good sign, but the damage was done," Williamson badyzed.

"They played the perfect match, they beat for two days on this surface and reached the stage where they were going to help the spinners a bit and they took full advantage of it.

"There were big improvements with the bat in the second run, but of course this session where Yasir played extremely well puts us under pressure and we need to be better in this area.

"There were good signs, if we can put it all together and take it all into account."

Resuming the fourth day at 131-2, after their disastrous collapse of 90 in their first innings, the Black Caps showed signs of fighting led by Ross Taylor and Henry Nicholls.

Taylor made 82 in a hard-hitting run, playing Shah aggressively and his luck early, before settling as he progressed. Given the fate that had struck him and his teammates in the first innings, it was the right approach and, despite all of Shah's prowess, he offered flying deliveries as the veteran Black Caps cashed.

Taylor has entered into a partnership of 80 meetings with Tom Latham, who has earned 50 well-deserved returns before falling in controversial circumstances. A referral for caught behind indicated a slight edge to the goalkeeper, but there was a doubt that it was a ball hitting a ball or a ball hitting a bat. .

The benefit of the doubt went to Pakistan, and the thought of another fall came when Nicholls was then awarded the second ball. However, this time, New Zealand survived and Nicholls survived by combining practical partnerships with Taylor and BJ Watling, evoking the second half-century of his test series.

The combination of Nicholls and Watling had been instrumental in giving New Zealand the hope of winning the first test, and they tried to repeat the performance by adding 57 for the fifth wicket – the fourth round of the sleeve – because of Pakistan's frustration.

However, Shah trapped Watling lbw 27 after lunch and, again, the order of the New Zealand lineup was unobtainable while Shah was making his way into the history books.

Having already claimed the best innings ever recorded against New Zealand with his 8-41, Shah added 6-143 to his match record, surpbading Courtney Walsh's previous record of 13-55 in 1995.

He had the support of Hasan Ali, who put an end to Colin's big-man heats – and perhaps his run in the test team. A brief appearance of 14 bullets on 13 bullets ended with another dreadful dismissal, crossing the finish line and getting sweated, while attempting to sweep the towers of Ish Sodhi n & # 39; s. He was no better, his legs being disturbed by Shah.

At the other end of the day, Nicholls was preparing for a promising round, but Ali got a freeze to go between bat and pad, and Nicholls left for 77.

Shah then came back to finish the queue and write the story.
