- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR37.2 Length again, Young heaves to the leg side... and it's brilliantly taken by sub fielder Faheem Ashraf, on for Rauf, charging in from deep square and putting in a slide to take the catch a matter of feet from the ground! Young's outstanding innings ends on 107 191/47.3 Carrom does the trick! Perfect length, pushing Conway back, and then enough grip off the surface to move from leg stump to knock back off! Abrar, you wizard! 39/18.1 Williamson goes! Wickets do not come any bigger than that! Naseem back of a length, hitting the surface hard enough to find some precious movement away from the right-hander, who is defending with a full face... edge snicked, Rizwan takes a low catch and Pakistan are up and about! 40/216.2 got him, Rauf's hard length does the trick! Really goes hard into the pitch, angles the ball in towards the batter, and Mitchell's attempt to move leg side to create room for the pull doesn't work, because the ball hurries onto him and cramps him, and hits high up on the bat and pops apologetically towards mid-on 73/349.4 Looped top short third! Raul's fuller ball eventually does the trick, as Phillips attempts to ramp but can only toe over his shoulder. He drops his bat in disgust, but that's a fine cameo innings, 61 off 39 as part of an outstanding 125-run stand with Latham, from just 74 deliveries. Match winning, you'd say? 316/5Extras13 (lb 4, w 9)TOTAL320/5 (50 Overs, RR: 6.4)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Devon Conway, 7.3 ov), 2-40 (Kane Williamson, 8.1 ov), 3-73 (Daryl Mitchell, 16.2 ov), 4-191 (Will Young, 37.2 ov), 5-316 (Glenn Phillips, 49.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 gone! New Zealand have kept angling this full or fullish ball away from Saud, and this time he goes hard at an angled-bat drive away from his body. It's not full enough for that sort of shot, and it's quite a way outside his eyeline, and all he can do is slice it up in the air for third man to take a good catch moving to his right and falling forward to take it inches from the ground 8/133.6 That's all she wrote! Babar tries to sweep Santner again, but Santner opts for his holding length, which dips at the last month, meaning the ball is on the way up a little too much for Babar's liking. The top edge hands in the air before nestling safely in Williamson's hands.... 153/69.6 short, wide, cut, and Pakistan are two down, because Glenn Phillips has done a very Glenn Phillips thing at backward point. He cut this fiercely, something of a deliberate uppercut, but he'll reflect that he didn't get the desired height on the ball. Would still have beaten most fielders, though. Phillips, however, throws himself to his left, reaches for the ball above his head and behind his body, because it was hit with so much force, and grabs onto it one-handed. Incredible stuff 22/220.5 Silence in the stands as Fakhar is bowled! It was a valiant effort from the left-hander, who picked up an unfortunate injury in the first over (one which has yet to be clarified by the Pakistan team). Dropped in the previous over attempting a slog sweep, and it's that same shot that brings about his downfall, as Bracewell skids one through and into middle stump 69/330.4 Salman goes! Smith digs one in short, Salman's on the charge, readjusting to pull to square leg but he's too late on the stroke, offering up a simple catch to Michael Bracewell moving in from midwicket. A necessary 28-ball cameo comes to an end... 127/431.3 Slapped to midwicket! Wide of the crease, into the surface, 90kph, sits up but it's straight meaning Tayyab can't get a proper swing on it, straight to Williamson in close on the leg side. Easy as you like for New Zealand... 128/543.4 gottim, that ends a fantastic innings from Khushdil. A lot of too late about it, but definitely not too little if this can help Pakistan keep their net run rate at a manageable level and if he can continue to bat like this through the tournament. Short again, into the body, climbs a little too high to control the flat-bat hit properly, and he ends up hitting it down the throat of long-on 229/840.6 and a well-deserved wicket. Short, angling away from off stump, gets a bit of extra bounce too. Clears his front leg to try and pull this, only manages a top edge to the keeper 200/747.2 and that is that. New Zealand win by 60 runs. Looks to step across for that scoop over fine leg again, and this time Henry beats him with a full ball at the stumps 260/1046.6 finally he picks out a fielder. Steps out, and Santner slows it down and dangles it a lot wider outside off. Reaches out, loses his shape, and hits it as well as he can under the circumstances, but that only means a simple catch to long-on 260/9Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL260 all out (47.2 Overs, RR: 5.49)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Saud Shakeel, 3.4 ov), 2-22 (Mohammad Rizwan, 9.6 ov), 3-69 (Fakhar Zaman, 20.5 ov), 4-127 (Salman Agha, 30.4 ov), 5-128 (Tayyab Tahir, 31.3 ov), 6-153 (Babar Azam, 33.6 ov), 7-200 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 40.6 ov), 8-229 (Khushdil Shah, 43.4 ov), 9-260 (Haris Rauf, 46.6 ov), 10-260 (Naseem Shah, 47.2 ov)
