Close-of-play lead in test
NZPA Lahore New Zealand was 212 for six wickets at close on the third day of the first cricket test against Pakistan. The tourists had a lead at the end of the day of 148 with four wickets in hand. New Zealand lost two quick wickets after tea in a duel with Pakistan’s spinners, Iqbal Qasim and Abdul Qadir. Martin Crowe (33) and John Reid (6) fell in the space of four overs, one to each bowler, as New Zealand hit a bad patch which saw the side go from 132 for two at tea to 140
for four. Jeff Crowe and the captain, Jermey Coney, came together and attempted to steady the innings. They took New Zealand past 150, after 201 minutes and 50 overs. But Coney fell victim to the bowling changes and was caught by the wicket-keeper, Anil Dalpat, for 26 off Azeem Hafeez, with New Zealand 208. Disaster struck the next over when the nightwatchman, Stephen Boock, was out without scoring. Crowe was 40 not out and Evan Gray on one at stumps.
