New Zealand’s young sensation Kyle Jamieson impressed again with his superb performance in the ongoing second Test against Pakistan at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday.
The right-arm speedster picked up a five-wicket haul as the hosts bowled out visitors for 297. It was thౠe third occasion when Jameison claimed a fifer in Test cricket. He finished the Day 1 with five scalps for 69 runs in 21 overs.
However, at one stage, Pakistan struggled on 83/4, before former captain Azhar Ali and current stand-in skipper Mohammad Rizwan took charge to take the꧃ir team out of hot waters.
The pair went on to add a crucial stand of 88 runs for the fifth wicket before Jamieson broke the p♋a♏rtnership and removed Rizwan for a well made 61.
On the other hand, Ali kept on tickling the scoreboard and formed another vital partnership with Faheem Ashraf (48). Both the batters stitched 56 runs for the sixth wicket. Ali was looking set to score his 18th Test ton, but, Matt Henry dismissed him on 93.
Zafar Gohar showed bright signs with the willow after contributing with valuable 34 runs down the orde💦r.
Tim Southee and Trent Boult bagged two wickets each while Henry picked up🌸🏅 one scalp for the home team.
Here is how Twitter reacted:
Maybe the best hundred he never got. Well played, Azha𝐆r Ali. Once again showed his class and rescued the team from 83-4.

New Zealand have bowled well enough that Pakistan could have easily been all out for 180 here.🍬
The fact that they're 227/6 is testament to just how well batted.
That 93 was a mucꩲh better innings than lots of test 🍸centuries.

Bit of movement in Christchurch today…

I'm no batting coach, but this needs working on and sorting out

Today's day was so worth staying awake for. Brilliant day of cricket. Azhar again shows he's class & Rizwan is just brilliant. Pitch will get easier I feel & Kiwis will put on a big total.

Kyle Jamieson.
He can get awkward bounce. And also goes fuller… looking for swing or nifty movement off the pitch.

297 not a bad total on this pitch, remember New Zealand have to bat last, Pakistan will definitely have the chanc🐈e to le🤡vel the series. Good Contribution from down the order which is missing..

Well played , scoring 297 in their first innings; after they were 83/4 at lunch time. Loved the grit and gameplay by Azhar, Rizwan, Faဣheem and Zafar Gohar on debut.

Kyle Jamieson has 3 five-wicket haul in Tests – 1 vs India, 1 vs West Indies, 1 vs Pakistan and he has only played 3 series in his career. Dream start to his cricket journey.

Fabulous knock ,few short of a deserved 100
— zainab abbas (@ZAbbasOfficial)
We could have easily scored 330 in a day if Shan Masood & Haris Sohail showed s🍃ome resilience at the top.

Since Kyle Jamieson's debut in Tests, only Southee has more wickets than him and only Broad has a better bowling Strike Rate than him(min 15 wickets)

Kyle Jamieson could have the 3rd best avg and 2nd best strike rate in test history… if he keeps this up for another 918 balls.
Can’t be fastest to 50 wkts but he’s a near certainty to smash Bond’s NZ record of 12 tests… he’s already got 30 from 5.5 tests!
