Full commentary
So that will be it from us for the moment. The Ashes going on at the MCG, India take on South Africa in Durban in a few hours, so there is lots of cricket coming your way. And Pakistan meet New Zealand again on Tuesday, at 6 am GMT. Do join us then. For now, this is Abhishek Purohit signing off, on behalf of Nitin Sundar and Venkat Raghav. Cheers
At 58 for 1 inside six overs, Pakistan were off to a blinder. It was Southee who turned it around for New Zealand with his first five-wicket haul in T20 internationals. Gul and Riaz hit out in the end to take Pakistan to 143 but that was never going to be enough on a ground where anything that beat the infield went to the boundary. And Guptill's innings finished off Pakistan's remaining chances. Taylor found some form towards the end, and New Zealand have what has been a largely comfortable win

gone! it was fast and flat, coming in sharply with the arm, Franklin backed away to cut, but even as the bat was coming down, the ball had crashed into the pads first in front of middle and leg, and umpire Billy thought about it for some time before sending Franklin on his way with the crooked finger
