5.28pm Just two players reached double digits: Babar Azam and Hasan Ali. It was an utter capitulation right from the start from Pakistan, who struggled in bouncy conditions again. All they could muster was a well below-par 105 against a hot New Zealand batting unit. Back for the chase in just a bit.

Meanwhile, tennis fans in the Indian subcontinent can watch Roger Federer in fourth round action at the Australian Open with Novak Djokovic to follow at espn.in

Mitchell Santner: "We put them on the back foot early, like we have done all series. Looked like there was some pace and carry, the slower ones turned. Trying to mix it up, with the slower ball and the yorker, and the carrom ball, but whenever I bowl it, it's on the big screen."

Munro to Babar Azam, OUT, six and out, and Pakistan are all out for 105! Another slower delivery on middle and leg, Azam cannot time his lofted drive and can only chip the catch to long-on

Munro to Babar Azam, SIX, a full delivery on middle and leg, heaved away over long-on for a valuable six. Wild cheers again as Pakistan get 100
19.2
2
Munro to Babar Azam, 2 runs, 99 kph, chaos. Full on middle and leg, driven to long-on. Just one available. The throw is bad, way over the keeper's head, the keeper runs back and flops his throw to allow another run. Munro is displeased

Munro to Babar Azam, FOUR, slashed for four. Full and wide from Munro, carved away to deep point, no one there. Well played

Last over, Munro will bowl it. He did bowl the last over in one of the ODIs too.

Rance to Babar Azam, 1 run, a low full toss on the pads, worked to midwicket to retain strike. Should have put that away for six too

Rance to Babar Azam, 2 runs, good length outside off, carved behind point. There are two runs available by the time Munro gets around to his right
18.4
W
Rance to Mohammad Amir, OUT, Rance and Southee combine again. Digs this one in, around off, Amir backs away, the ball gets too big on him and all he can do is mis-time a forehand pull over the bowler's head. Southee gets across from mid-off

Fatima: "Tours of New Zealand are always tough but this one is absolutely horrific. At least we won't have the disappointment of losing the top ranking since it's already happened"

Rance to Babar Azam, 1 run, full delivery on off, 138 kph, forced to the sweeper cover. Just nothing happening for Pakistan, other than Hasan's cameo

W
Rance to Hasan Ali, OUT, full delivery outside off, 138 kph, slightly wider this time than the previous two and Hasan swings again, but the ball takes a leading edge and gets so much elevation. Southee runs a few metres from his cover position, gets underneath the catch and takes it. A bright cameo

Rance to Hasan Ali, SIX, six more! Hasan swings into the New Zealand dug-out. In the slot again and Hasan shovels one over long-on

Rance to Hasan Ali, SIX, full and straight, Hasan shuffles across, gets underneath the length and heaves the ball nicely over deep midwicket. Lovely shot. May have to go short or very full
