1.5 to Saim Ayub, Edged and taken on the second attempt by Daryl Mitchell! A scorching delivery on back of a length angled across off, he goes feeling for it and gets a thick edge to Mitchell who pouched it on his second attempt. New Zealand off to a brilliant start as Ayub tried to cut loose but it was a tentative prod at a wide delivery, could have gone for full-blooded cut, he holds a lot of promise but another early demise for the young talented batter from Karachi. 5/1 17.4 to Iftikhar Ahmed, oh dear me! Another wicket down. Good length outside off, Iftikhar tries to smoke him down the ground and miscues the shot, Tim Southee takes a comfortable catch at extra cover, it was another brilliant slow ball seamed across the right-hander,. 126/5
Adam Milne	4	0	49	1	12.25	6	3	3	4	0
6.6 to Babar Azam, Milne gets the big fish! Babar Azam perishes! 149 scorhcer thumped hard into the deck and he goes for the pull, looking a bit ungainly, Phillips charges in and settles under the skier, pouches it comfortably. He looks disconsolate after perishing on 19. 56/2
Lockie Ferguson	4	0	27	2	6.75	10	0	2	2	0
12.3 to Fakhar Zaman, Ho Ho ho! He has picked the bones out of that and still didn't get enough distance, that went miles up in the air and Chapman settles under the skier, hangs onto it brilliantly at deep midwicket. Just when he was trying to switch gears and break the shackles, he miscued a skier. Huge breakthrough! Ball was swirling around in the air but he did well to catch it in the end and adjusted terrifically. 83/3 12.6 to Sahibzada Farhan, Excellent catch from Phillips running back from midwicket and Farhan has to go! That was a mean short ball angled into middle and off, he decides to go for a pull but is troubled by the fierce pace and bounce, Ferguson with a fist-pump, gets the job done and more problems for Pakistan. 86/4

Shaheen Shah Afridi	4	0	34	3	8.50	11	4	1	2	0
0.4 to FH Allen, Afridi roars as Allen falls on the third ball! Leading edge flied to Saim Ayub at point and Shaheen Afridi with a vicious fist pump, they have got the massive wicket of man in form. A good length ball swerving in and he was targeting the leg side but didn't get it right. 8/1 0.6 to TL Seifert, Finds mid-on! New Zealand lose another, just a tentative chip to Babar Azam and they all cluster together in joy. Shaheen celebrates with arm aloft. Playing it with hard hands and once again Shaheen gets some lateral movement into the right hander and he hurriedly jams at it. This is exactly the start Pakistan were looking for, captain leading from the front, picked up two wickets upfront. 10/2 2.4 to WA Young, Plucked out of thin air! Well-directed short ball swaying across off, he gets on top of the bounce and hands it straight to Nawaz who snaffled a stunner at short midwicket, brilliant reflexes and New Zealand are in a spot of bother. 20/3 See all photos
