1.3 to Hasan Nawaz, That's a peach! On a length and shaping it in at middle and leg, tries to work it away off his pads and gets stuck on the crease, pokes at it and it's wonderfully grabbed by Neesham at first slip, lightning fast reflexes and hangs on to a low catch..it's either feast or famine with Nawaz so far in his career. 5/1 5.3 to Omair Yousuf, Keeper claiming a catch, not looking entirely convinced, Omair tried to slug it behind square on leg and didn't find the middle, Hay dived to his left and it's not clear whether it's a clean catch. It has been sent upstairs. Alright, so he was standing outside off-stump, trying to hook it away, hits the glove and New Zealand players are already celebrating, decision overturned and Pakistan lose another Superb review after a quick meeting. Pakistan find themselves in a spot of bother which is not an unfamiliar sight. Next up Usman Khan. 25/3 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 25 | 1 | 6.25 | 12 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
4.5 to Mohammad Haris, Pulled in the air, little bit of a top edge, and it has gone really high; three fielders converging, keeper is the closest, settles under and gobbles it above his chest, makes it look very easy in the end, pressure of dots was building up and Haris does not liked to be caged, went for a jailbreak pull and it was at an awkward chest height, got in a tangle and the ball ballooned up, untimely dismissal for Pakistan. New Zealand enjoying the conditions and have got a perfect start. 23/2 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 32 | 1 | 8.00 | 7 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
7.5 to Usman Khan, Wanders down leg-side and premeditates and waits for an eternity before crunching a pull, finds Daryl Mitchell to perfection who calmly pouches it under his midriff, Usman stands shell-shocked after miscuing it but he has to go. Pakistan continue to implode. Smartly bowled, didn't offer any pace to work with, tested his patience, couldn't rotate his arms fully and load up, just not enough height and distance....trouble trouble for Pakistan. 43/4 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 22 | 5 | 5.50 | 14 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
10.2 to Abdul Samad, Edged and taken! Going from bad to worse. Short of a length and almost hugging the wide line, couldn't resist the temptation, a half-hearted cut and a bit of indecision ends up with a nick to the keeper; all too easy at the moment for New Zealand who didn't have to toil for any wicket Sorry looking scorecard; subdued celebration. 52/5 16.1 to Shadab Khan, Shadab wanted a free-hit, thought he had a strong case and that lapse of concentration and lose of temper may have contributed to his demise. Fraction short and nibbling away in the channel, faint edge to the keeper and he doesn't hold himself back from expressing his anger towards the umpire, punches his bat and walks off animated boiling with anger. Neesham adjust his line quickly and gets the reward. The ball was clearly off the pitch and Shadab lost his composure when the call didn't go his way. 106/6 16.4 to Jahandad Khan, Soft dismissal, mistimed in the air and taken by the man at mid-off, came in a few yard and swallowed it, we are into the tail now. Rushed stroke, was a slightly shorter delivery on a cagey off-stump line, tried to play it through the line and the shot wasn't under-controlled. 108/7 18.3 to Agha Salman, Well-disguised slowish one, back of a length on fifth stump, jabbed away and finds Chapman at deep cover who didn't have to move a muscle to catch that; he was looking so good and giving Pakistan a hope to make a contest out of it. Nevertheless, a brilliant knock. 121/8 18.6 to Sufiyan Muqeem, Easiest of catches; Bracewell with his safe pair of hands makes sure Neesham gets a fifer; taken at mid-on and all smiles in the park for New Zealand players. Sufyan backed away to hoik it downtown and sent it high into the nightsky. 123/9 | ||||||||||

6.2 to FH Allen, Tossed up delivery, quicker on off, tries to whack it out of the park over midwicket and loses his wicket, ball hits the top of off-stump, excellent bowling, right on money, accurate and bang on target. He had been performing consistently and growing in confidence in that last tour of South Africa but was benched. Mindboggling stuff from the selectors and management to keep him on the sidelines. 93/1 8.2 to MS Chapman, Similar full delivery, razor-sharp glovework from Haris as Chapman gets off-balance and leant forward, that's Dhoni-like reflexes from Haris and Chapman is clearly outside the crease, nothing behind the line and he'll have to go back. Lovely piece of bowling from Sufiyan. He is quality. 103/2 | ||||||||||
