We’re happy with our bowling, we have been for a long time, hopefully they get a decent rest. Napier is known to be a bowler’s graveyard, so hope the batting comes good there. An excellent wicket here in Wellington.”

Yousuf: “I thank mighty Allah and my team. The bowlers bowled very well, and Kamran Akmal batted well in the first innings. The way Umar Akmal plays sometimes, I find it difficult to stop him. A very good Test wicket, this. We missed catches, we’ll try hard in the practice sessions. We are very happy after this win, it’s come after a long time.”

Asif is the Man of the Match: “I just enjoy my bowling. When we were batting, there was some seam movement. It was a sporting pitch, and if you pitch it in the right areas, it works well for you. We have a few days rest, and we hope to win in Napier.
