Black Caps keep Pakistan in check on day one of second test IAN ANDERSONSky SportNew Zealand's bowlers toiled well on the opening day of the second test against Pakistan. After the first test ended in frenetic fashion, the start of second cricket test between Pakistan and New Zealand was a soporific one. While the 'home' side dug in to try and set up a big first innings tally after winning the toss, the Black Caps replied with a disciplined bowling effort that could have brought greater reward. Legspinner Ish Sodhi wasn't used until the 45th over with Pakistan 101-2 while first test hero Patel got some notable day one turn; raising questions on how the Black Caps batsmen will fare against spin later. Bowling: T Boult 18-5-50-0; C de Grandhomme 19-7-31-2; N Wagner 22-7-44-0 (1nb); A Patel 19-3-60-1; I Sodhi 12-0-22-0.
