- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 that looked out and given. Azhar opts not to review this time. Southee strikes. Full delivery outside off, seams back in after pitching. Azhar is beaten by that late movement, struck right in front of off after the ball misses the inside edge. Beaten by some lateral movement. 14/23.5 short and gone! He changes the length does Boult, short around off. Imam is not in control of the pull, partly because he has to drag the stroke. He times it quite awfully and his placement is worse, straight to square leg. You would think that Pakistan would be cautious against that ball in New Zealand 5/110.2 edged and gone! Straight to a routine first slip. On a length that time outside off, Azam like he has been doing through this innings, wafts at the ball. A thick outside edge is found and straight to Taylor. That's a poor shot. Two bad ones today from Imam and now Azam. 39/331.1 finds extra cover. Oh dear, another senior throws it away. Poor from Hafeez. He falls to the premeditated skip down the track as well. Santner throws this flat, short of a length, and wide. Hafeez steps out and is forced to reach out to try and avoid being stumped. Unlike Safraz, he manages connection, but he was too far from the ball to control it. Slapped it off the middle, but the fielder didn't have to move 127/621.6 holes out to long-on! New Zealand have manufactured this wicket as a team. The pressure was building on Malik, he played too many dot balls. Stepped out and got a release shot last over, but this time he tries the same and ends up getting too close to the ball. Can't get enough elevation as a result, and it comes off the inside half of the bat 84/425.2 no doubt about this one. Sarfraz's antsy innings ends the way it was tending to. Three chances in six balls. New Zealand accept the third gratefully. Premeditates and runs down the track to a short ball outside off. It skids past his last-ditch attempt to get bat on it and it's an easy stumping 108/549.3 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 239/936.4 pulled straight to fine leg. A short delivery from Ferguson, down leg. Ashraf is in no position to pull but goes through with the shot. Tries to go from bottom to top, to get underneath the ball and lift it for six. But he is so late on the shot that the pull goes straight down fine leg's throat. Hardly had to move. 141/744.5 50 and out for Hasan. A fine effort. Full on middle and leg, Hasan skews the lofted drive, the ball lobs to deep midwicket via the inside edge.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 a duck for Munro! And Pakistan have a massive wicket in the first over. A short delivery outside off but with plenty of away shape. The ball moves away, takes the outside edge and flies down to third man. He went hard at it, and he is so powerful that the ball carried all the way. Exceptional start for Pakistan 1/19.3 Shadab Khan at backward point. He is having a spectacular day. Good length delivery outside off, the ball seams away. It takes the outside half and lobs towards Shadab, who dives acrobatically to his left, and takes a sharp catch. Williamson looking to force that one, pushes atypically hard at it. Against the run of play, these two were looking so comfortable 47/2Extras1 (nb 1)TOTAL151/2 (23.5 Overs, RR: 6.33)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Colin Munro, 0.3 ov), 2-47 (Kane Williamson, 9.3 ov)
