Andrew Alderson breaks down the best bits from the fourth day of the second test between the Black Caps and Pakistan in Dubai.
Important moment: Pakistan's decision to review the Brendon McCullum lbw from Zulfiqar Babar. McCullum looked in form, endeavouring to set a target. To the untrained eye, aswell as umpire Paul Reiffel, it looked like it hit bat first. The slow-mo disagreed, and the ball-tracker did the rest.
Best shot: Has to come from Sarfraz Ahmed's century but which one? Let's opt for the boundary which he cuts past gully to reach his century off Tim Southee. His record-breaking 10th wicket partnership of 81 against New Zealand with Rahat Ali changed the course of the game.
Ball of the day: Yasir Shah, around the wicket to Corey Anderson, pitches in the footmarks, there was a puff of dust and then a rattle of bails. It was a leg spinner's delight and similar to what Ish Sodhi did to Shan Masood. There are definite downsides to being a left-hander here.
That's quirky: Brendon McCullum's caught and bowled of Sarfraz Ahmed for 112 is his first wicket as a bowler in any form of international, provincial or franchise cricket.

Testometer: 50:50 - Ross Taylor and Ish Sodhi v Younis Khan and Yasir Shah.
