       Very odd decision by Inzamam and Pakistan management as rain is
        forecast for tomorrow, wonder if Pakistan have possibly overlooked
        that?
       Everyone expected that Inzamam would claim the extra 8 overs and
        breeze home while the momentum was there.
       Well its been a fine day for the tourists and they need 28 for a
        series win.
       Please join us tomorrow at 11:00AM Local time or 22:00GMT (previous
        day) for the final day's play and catch up with all the details on
        this Test and tour at www.cricinfo.com
       Good Morning all for the fifth day's play in the Wellington Test
        between New Zealand and Pakistan.
       This has been a remarkable match in terms of turnarounds and right
        now after New Zealand had been firmly in control. it is Pakistan
        needing 28 to win with 7 wickets in hand.
       Although rain is forecast it is dry presently
       There has been considerable speculation as to why Inzamam did not
        carry on last night and claim the extra time.
       Especially as the forecast for day 5 was rain.
       The start has been delayed and the match will start at 11:30 local
        time or 22:30GMT,
       Players are out and its very cold out there and a few spots of rain
        too
       it has started raining and its going to be a tight one if Pak are
        to scrape through. All due apparantly to Inzamam and the team
        management not knowing they could take an extra 30 mins last
        night.
       They have gone off without a ball bowled and the weater has closed
        in again, lots of wind at present but rain too and its expected to
        clear later on.

Match State: Delay - Day 5 - Rain
