Pakistan managed to avert a fifth consecutive home defeat by managing to draw the first Test against New Zealand, in Karachi on Friday, but the decision to declare second innings at 311-8 invited a stern reaction from Twitterati.
Despite a stunning spell from leg-spinner Ish Sodhi, Kiwis were faced with the challenge of 138 in 15 overs, with the chase ending in fading light on 61-1.
Skipper Babar Azam, particularly, took the flak for his decisions as a captain, that according to many fans caused green-shirts to lose their recent matches too.
The narrow escape from another defeat failed to amuse the cricket fans. Let's have a look at some of the reactions, as follows.
