Leg- spinner Yasir Shah is set to become the fastest to reach 200 Test wickets as he holds the key for Pakistan to win the series- deciding third and final Test against New Zealand starting here today.

Yasir needs just five wickets to shatter Australian leg- spinner Clarrie Grimmettt’s record of completing 200 wickets in 36 Tests, way back in 1936. That will be icing on the cake as Pakistan hope Yasir — whose 14 wicket match haul crushed New Zealand to an innings and 16 run defeat in the second Test in Dubai — can come good again.
