New Zealand continue to dominate Pakistan on the third day of the second cricket test in Christchurch

They've moved to 400 for three at lunch - a lead of 103 runs with Kane Williamson on 153 and Henry Nicholls 138.
The Black Caps best fourth-wicket partnership against all-comers has extended to 329.
The pair eclipsed the 271 set by Ross Taylor and Jesse Ryder against India in Napier in 2008-09.
Williamson has been a metronome of efficiency, never getting pigeonholed into a segment of the field with his breadth of strokes.
The highlight has been the leg glancing, which you suspect he could time to the boundary with a matchstick.
Nicholls has hobbled along on his strained left calf, muscling balls to the boundary on instinct and delighting his Hagley Oval home crowd with a demonstration of courage.
