Photo: GettyUnheralded medium pacer Colin de Grandhomme rewrote the New Zealand test record books with a spectacular debut performance against Pakistan at Hagley Oval today. He is the eighth bowler to take five or more wickets on debut, and his are the best figures of them all. Only Pakistan's captain Misbah-ul-Haq lasted long in testing conditions, getting to 31 in the course of a 161-minute stay. Pakistan lost four for 28 in 15 overs in the second session to remove any chance of a post-lunch revival.
