"So what is the highest team total in an ODI without a single individual 50? Is this a record today?" --- Interesting question, Rajeev Shetty. The highest is England's 285 vs Sri Lanka in 2006

Zeshan Shafiq: "Interestingly, only 5 extra runs from Pakistan, and no free hit. Impressive start and a great comeback in terms of bowling. Let's see Pakistan's Batting."

Debutant Usama Mir speaks of his experience: "It's like a dream come true: you're playing in your debut game, and you get the wicket of Kane Williamson. I cannot describe that in words."

6.19pm Naseem Shah leads the team off, as he bags 5 for 57 - his second ODI five-for, both coming in consecutive games. Each time New Zealand seemed to be running away with the bat, Pakistan struck either through Naseem or via debutant legspinner Mir, who takes back Williamson and Latham's wickets to start his career. Six of their top seven threw away starts, which means Pakistan only have 256 to chase. Suds will bring the chase soon.

1b
Naseem Shah to Southee, 1 bye, they collect a bye, and after a lot of waiting drama, there is a run-out appeal at the bowler's end. Given not out. Slower ball, which dipped on a full length around fifth stump. Southee missed his heave, and they ran a bye. The ball wasn't collected cleanly by Rizwan, who then threw it at the bowler's end after only acting to throw it while Southee made his way out for another run

Last ball. Six-for for Naseem?
