2.38pm A terrific comeback from Pakistan to post something they can defend. It didn't look like they would get close to 200, but fifties from Mohammad Hafeez, Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan carry Pakistan to 246, a score they'd think they can defend if they get early wickets. Their top order struggled early on, to find and hit gaps regularly, resulting in several big shots, some of which came off, some of which didn't. We'll be back soon to see if New Zealand can hunt this down.

Ferguson to Rumman Raees, 1 wide, 136 kph, another wide. Short and down leg, the ball goes over the batsman. Over the head. Wide called

Ferguson to Rumman Raees, 2 runs, full and straight. The batsman backs away and awkwardly drives towards mid-on for two. Bad timing but productive

Ferguson to Rumman Raees, FOUR, full delivery outside off, Raees backs away and swings, chips a lofted drive over mid-off for four

Ferguson to Shadab Khan, OUT, short delivery around off, Shadab is too late on another pull. New Zealand hardly appeal, thinking it's out. But the umpire doesn't give it. Williamson reviews. Has it beaten him? Snicko certainly doesn't thinks so, a big spike as ball passes bat. A thin edge. Shadab's fine rearguard innings ends

Ferguson to Shadab Khan, 1 wide, well bowled! Oh, that's unfortunate for Ferguson. Just inside the tramline, but the umpire calls it a wide. A nice, wide yorker

Ferguson to Shadab Khan, no run, wow, almost takes a stunner. A slower bouncer around middle, Shadab backs away and smashes it right back at the bowler. Ferguson watches the ball onto his hands, but it pops out

Ferguson to Mohammad Amir, 1 run, a yorker on leg, jammed out to point at Taylor, whose throw also spills out.
