“My batting has been average over the last little while and I haven’t performed and contributed as much as I would have liked so it was nice to have a bit of luck and score a Test century,” Taylor said. New Zealand began the fourth day with a 55 run first innings lead after dismissing Pakistan for 216 in reply to its 271. His half century – his first in 12 Test innings – came in 142 minutes from 82 balls including seven boundaries, while his century took 225 minutes. The Test is now set up for an exciting finish as New Zealand chases 10 wickets and Pakistan 368 runs. “I think the bowlers set the game up in the first innings and hopefully we can get 10 wickets tomorrow,” Taylor said.
