    17.2 Castled! Hard length on a tight off stump line, goes for the pull through midwicket but is early through the shot, chops it on. A staggering 137-run knock comes to an end. Absolutely sensational, head-spinning, and extraordinary batting! 203/4
    3.2 Miscues the skier! Skips down the track and lost his shape completely, bat turns and he gets the inside half of the bat and Mohammad Nawaz takes an easy catch at mid-off, safe hands. Once again Conway fails to capitalize on a start 28/1
    13.3 That's a well-directed slow ball bouncer on off, he goes for the big shot and hasn't quite got all of it. Tries to get on top of that short ball, rolls his wrists, looking ungainly and Saim Ayub hangs onto it brilliantly at deep midwicket, came in a few steps and then settled under it beautifully. He has only made 31 because Allen took most of the strike, but Seifert did his job well, sometimes it's best to keep man on fire on crease 153/2
    14.5 Round the wicket, zips it quicker on a fuller length just outside leg stump, nothing shot, half-paddle to Zaman at short fine who gobbles up a simple catch and Mitchell admonishes himself for that soft dismissal 174/3
    19.4 Saim Ayub takes an absolute sprawling catch at midwicket! He has been superb in the field throughout the series! Runs in hard from the deep, keeps his eyes locked on the ball, times the jump to perfection and pockets the catch nice and low. Phillips tries to slug it over midwicket, not on top of it 221/7
    18.4 Looking for lap shot and couldn't execute it, chips it straight to Waseem Jnr at short of square leg who reverse cups it, simple catch. 214/5
    19.1 Is Santner short of his ground? Hits the away swinging yorker to Wasim at wide long off who pings a brilliant throw to Shaheen and he is out of the frame, gone. 219/6

    3.1 Southee strikes! Saim Ayub gets befuddled by the slower ball on a length angled across, he goes for the big shot, not quite underneath it, across the line and lost his shape, Ferguson takes an easy catch at short third inside the ring 23/1
    7.5 Edged and taken by Seifer! That's a terrific catch from the keeper! Quicker slider ball on a length with a hint of spin outside off, plays away from his body, trying to maneuver it to third man, gets a faint tickle. Crucial breakthrough 62/2
    15.5 Tries to go for another boundary but this time he finds Phillips at deep midwicket who is livewire in the field, converts half chances into full, sprinted to his left and plucked it out of think, once again a good innings from Babar but it's the same script, not getting enough support and with the asking rate creeping up, he had to go berserk, it didn't come off on this occasion 134/6
    10.5 Gottim! Holes out to mid-off/cove and Ferguson picks up a huge wicket. Back of a length on a teasing line, got in a tangle and couldn't get on top of the bounce. New Zealand are in the driving seat now, they have got the big fish out of the equation. Santner took a great catch, very calm while reverse cupping it 95/3
    12.6 Slow delivery on back of a length outside off, he goes hard at it and mistimes it, gets the elevation but not the distance, that hung in the air for a long while, Phillips at deep midwicket tracked the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand, absolute ripper! 115/4
    14.1 On a length and holds its line outside off, clatters it on the rise to extra cover, Santner chucks a sharp throw and Iftikhar Ahmed is short of his crease, he cannot believe it. Takes on Santner's arm and started the single slowly...tries to slides his bat in but by then he was too late. Brilliant throw 121/5
    19.1 Round the wicket, short of a length with pace off floating in the channel, tries to whack it through covers, nicked it through to the keeper, his cameo comes to an end, spot on change-up delivery 174/7
