Test Match might be boring sometimes but the twist they produce all different forms of games fails to deliver it. The last few test match played have resulted and were at the peak of the twist.
In the last Pakistan vs New Zealand test match Pakistan lost the game by just four runs. While in Sri Lanka vs England test match last two test match was not close to Pakistan vs New Zealand one’s but have twist and turn in the game. From 50-0 to 90-10 is the collapse we will surely not fade away any time soon.
It was Indian legendary leg spinner who produce the ten-wicket hall in a single day in a test match approx two decades ago and today the neighbour country’s Yasir Shah had done it. He picked up eight wickets in first innings of New Zealand and after Pakistan forced follow-on, he took two more to complete his 10. Today 12 wickets fell and ten were credited to Yasir.

Kumble’s feat interestingly came against Pakistan on February 7, 1999, as he polished off all ten wickets to join England’s Jim Laker as the only other bowler to pick up all ten wickets in an innings of a Test match.
Yasir Shah picked up seven wickets in the space of 27 balls to register the third-best bowling figures for a Pakistani bowler in Tests behind Abdul Qadir’s 9 for 56 and Sarfraz Nawaz’s 9 for 86.

New Zealand have lost 10 wickets in 14 overs! And Yasir Shah has 8-41. Has to be among the great collapses in history. https://t.co/T5brj2vhHT

Yasir Shah was on fire.
Yasir Shah is the first bowler to take 10 wickets in a day’s play since a legendary legspinner famously did so almost 20 years ago 🙌 pic.twitter.com/zlREPIlU9w

New Zealand close the day on 131/2 following on in their second innings in Dubai.
They were skittled out for 90 in their first innings, largely down to Yasir Shah’s brilliant 8/41.
