By David LeggatNew Zealand's batting wasn't flash at Hagley Oval this morning, but they still hold a slight advantage at lunch on the third day against Pakistan. Resuming at 104 for three, 29 behind the tourists, New Zealand were dismissed for 200 half an hour before lunch. Sohail troubled the batsmen with a demanding line and good bounce, while Rahat and Amir kept the batsmen honest too. The pitch is still helping the seamers and so New Zealand's small advantage may equate to significantly more in good batting conditions. Only one batsman, Raval, had gone past 35 in the first two innings of the match.
