Sarfraz ton turns tables despite Taylor fightback: 2nd Test, Day 4 (Dubai)

Keeper Sarfraz Ahmed struck a defiant century and Pakistan's spinners wrecked New Zealand's top and middle order to leave the 2nd Test under Pakistan's firm control.

Out of form Ross Taylor was 77 not out to help his team recover from a shaky 79-4 to close the fourth day on 167-6.

New Zealand 403 and 167 for 6 (Taylor 77*, Babar 3-60, Yasir 3-65) lead Pakistan 393 (Sarfraz 112, Azhar 75, Younis 72) by 177 runs.
