And we're back. Shan Masood and Abid Ali out there in the near darkness. They'll have to survive for nine overs; survive for nine overs against Tim Southee and Trent Boult

From Shiva Jayaraman, our stats wiz: in other news - Naseem Shah ends up with the second-worst economy among bowlers to go wicket-less from 25 or more overs in a Test innings.

When we come back on the other side, Alagappan will take strike to see this through to close. Can Shan Masood give him company? He's had a torrid time on the field. Made a duck in the first innings. A shot at redemption awaits.

Meanwhile, Sreshth pings of a debut bowling outing to forget for Zafar Gohar. Among bowlers to take zero wickets in their first innings, he (0-159) has the second-worst bowling figures, behind only Adil Rashid's 0-163.

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Mitchell, FOUR, there's the hundred as he tickles it fine past the keeper. What a moment for Mitchell, his first in Tests. Well played. Immediately yanks his helmet off, there's a big smile on his face. New Zealand have declared. Surely Mitchell will be buying Williamson a drink tonight? Got the three extra overs to get there. What a moment, he's applauded all the way back towards the dressing room. Pakistan with a few uncomfortable overs to see off tonight.

Naseem Shah to Mitchell, 2 runs, what is happening? Now Gohar has put down one at deep midwicket. He misjudged the ball, ran in and then had to turn back. Mitchell didn't get hold of the pull, in the end Gohar put in a goalkeeper-like dive but couldn't hang on. Naseem is disappointed and why not. He's had a shocker of a Test,. and now nothing to show for in the wickets column
