- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 Razzaq takes out McCullum. This is his first over after coming back from ICL. A little big moment for him. McCullum walked down the pitch and square drove it hard but straight to point 17/14.2 What a soft dismissal. Aamer serves a full toss on the middle, Redmond tries to heave it over mid-on but mistimes it completely and sends a dolly of a catch to mid-on 33/25.3 Razzaq claims his second victim. What a day for him. It was a typical Razzaq delivery. Tilting in to the right-handed batsman. It was full and it moved in, Guptill missed the attempted flick, and was struck in front of the leg stump. Hawk eye says it would have clipped the leg stump 37/312.3 What a fabulous catch from Afridi running backwards towards long-on. Styris had found more elevation than distance and it looked to be landing safely. But Afridi had other ideas. He ran full pelt from mid-on and lunged in the end, four or five metres from the boundary, to take a very good catch. It's the dangerous Pakistan that has turned out today. And the tournament is so much better for it. 73/59.3 Afridi sends Oram back to the hutch. Oram charged down the track for the big hit but only succeeded in skying it straight up. Misbah ran back from extra cover to take a neat catch. New Zealand are wobbling here. 55 for 4. 55/412.4 And Gul gets another wicket with a yorker. McGlashan took couple of steps down the track and tried to sweep it. Not a good idea. The yorker crashed into his pad and he was caught in front of the stumps. 73/615.4 The leg stump has gone for a walk. It was full, it was straight and went past the attempted big hit. Clatter! Pakistan are all over the Kiwis at this point. 88/717.3 And what a spell this has been. Another deadly fatal yorker. Another wicket. Franklin was looking to hit across the line. Mistake. The middle stump has been pegged back. 93/818.3 Pakistan have shot out New Zealand for 99. It was dragged to midwicket where Younis makes a sliding stop and fires it to Razzaq who takes the bails off. 99/1017.4 Stand up and applaud. This is the first five-for in Twenty20 internationals. Umar Gul is da Maan. The leg cutter does the trick. The batsman gets a leading edge to cover. Simple catch. 5 for 4 and what's more he is on a hat-trick for the second time today. 93/9Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL99 all out (18.3 Overs, RR: 5.35)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (BB McCullum, 1.4 ov), 2-33 (AJ Redmond, 4.2 ov), 3-37 (MJ Guptill, 5.3 ov), 4-55 (JDP Oram, 9.3 ov), 5-73 (SB Styris, 12.3 ov), 6-73 (PD McGlashan, 12.4 ov), 7-88 (NL McCullum, 15.4 ov), 8-93 (JEC Franklin, 17.3 ov), 9-93 (KD Mills, 17.4 ov), 10-99 (DL Vettori, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 But he is gone now. Mills hurled a short-pitched delivery and Akmal swivelled to pull, hit it cleanly but straight to deep square leg 36/18.1 Oh what have you done Shahzaib? He pushed it towards midwicket and set off for a suicidal single. He was obviously sent back as the ball had not gone too far away from Brendon McCullum who fired in a fast throw to McGlashan who removed the bails. Gone. A very fine debut comes to an end. He packed in quite a few entertaining and thrilling hits in his action-packed innings. 61/37.6 nicely flighted delivery, slower through the air, Razzaq was sucked into a forward prod and edged the waft. Very good delivery. 61/29.2 Another fine piece of bowling from Dan. Again, he slowed up the pace, looped it up ever so slowly outside off, Malik was early into his drive, tried to check it but ended up chipping it straight to cover 71/4Extras2 (nb 1, w 1)TOTAL100/4 (13.1 Overs, RR: 7.59)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Kamran Akmal, 4.2 ov), 2-61 (Abdul Razzaq, 7.6 ov), 3-61 (Shahzaib Hasan, 8.1 ov), 4-71 (Shoaib Malik, 9.2 ov)
