6.35 pm New Zealand have made 91 in the last 10 overs and their total looks quite substantial. Kane Williamson has been saying they were looking forward to play the kind of cricket they knew they could and the batting line-up has stepped up. Good partnerships down the order and one man standing firm and staying not out at the end. Orthodox strokeplay, a good knowledge of the field and pretty sharp footwork has helped the New Zealand captain give his bowlers a total they can feel good about defending. But Abu Dhabi has been very easy-paced and Pakistan bat deep. Join us in about half an hour to see how the chase pans out

Ahmad Sher: "Being a Pakistani, for the 1st time I am having feelings that Pak can the chase a 300+ target today. With a strong batting line-up and with Anwar Ali and Sohail Tanveer coming at 9 & 10 respectively....!!! Such rare feelings being a Pakistani supporter amazes me...."

Daniyal: "Pakistan have been troubled by Williamson moving around in the crease. They have a tried a bit too much when they should have kept it simple. Yorkers would have done the job but credit to Williamson for such a brilliat innings." Steve: "Not a very good finish from NZ considering their start. Guptill needed to carry on after soaking up the strike, Anderson misfired with the bat yet again. Ronchi probably needed to come in rather than Latham. Excellent innings from Williamson - but as long as Pakistan aren't rocked early they'll chase it down with relative ease."
