- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 Terrific catch from Agha Salman at covers. He dives full length to his right to pluck it off and end Allen's dangerous stint in the middle. Wasim bowls it on a length, and like Allen had earlier in the innings, he looks to punch it past covers. Had made a decent contact but Salman flies full length to his right, with both hands to pouch it. 37/20.6 Castled! Naseem is on the board, Pakistan are on the board. And it is just the start they would have wanted. Quite an unusual way to get out for a first-ball duck for Conway, though. It is full and almost down leg, on the pads. Conway looks for some easy runs and plays the flick. But he misses the ball and the ball ricochets off his back leg and hits the stumps. Naseem - you cannot get enough of watching him bowl - roars in celebration and is up and running. 1/114.2 Jaffa! Perfect legspinner's dismissal. Mir lands it on a length on middle and leg, gets it to spin away and beats Williamson's bat on the outside and clips the bails. Superb delivery, almost unplayable and Williamson has to walk back. 69/326.5 ah, bowled him! A wicket out of nowhere. Mitchell almost looked surprised by that ball. That was on a shortish length, and angled into middle and leg. It straightened after pitching, as Mitchell missed his push. The length meant there was some good bounce too, with the ball hitting off stump on the higher side, with Mitchell not entirely getting to the pitch nor being fully back 125/431.3 Catching practice in the deep and Mir strikes for the second time! Fakhar just had to take a few steps to his left from deep midwicket and keeps his eye on it to take a simple offering. Mir drops it short, Latham goes back to pull but ends up top-edging it. Massive wicket for Pakistan, given Latham's history of accelerating towards the depth and against spin. 147/543.6 ballooned to mid-off! Phillips never really got going today, and perishes in pursuit off a big one. Naseem kept banging it on a hard length, and bowled this one on middle and off. Phillips got his front leg out of the way, and wanted to loft, but the ball took off from the toe end of his bat as he looked to hoick across the line. Easy catch for Babar 213/645.4 chopped on! Naseem strikes for the third time today. Another set batter gone. He fires it on the shorter side of a length on leg stump, but the ball angles away rather sharply to end outside off. Bracewell had backed away to make room, and tried to slash it. But perhaps he expected more bounce considering the short length, as the ball took the bottom edge and crashed on to his stumps 220/749.3 skied to extra cover! Naseem has his second ODI five-for. A back-of-the-hand slower ball, and on a good length just outside leg. He must have seen Santner make room, and so that line. Santner was beaten by the lack of pace, as he went lofting inside out but mistimed it. The ball ballooned up to exactly where Nawaz was placed, which was actually a few steps inside the circle 251/945.5 and he is bowled first ball on debut! Naseem launches a yorker at 143kph, and he is on a hat-trick. The ball dips while swinging into the right-hander, with Shipley's bat jamming down on middle and off. But the ball, swinging in beautifully, landed on middle and leg instead, and hammered the stumps 220/8Extras5 (b 1, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL255/9 (50 Overs, RR: 5.1)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Devon Conway, 0.6 ov), 2-37 (Finn Allen, 7.3 ov), 3-69 (Kane Williamson, 14.2 ov), 4-125 (Daryl Mitchell, 26.5 ov), 5-147 (Tom Latham, 31.3 ov), 6-213 (Glenn Phillips, 43.6 ov), 7-220 (Michael Bracewell, 45.4 ov), 8-220 (Henry Shipley, 45.5 ov), 9-251 (Mitchell Santner, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR22.5 cleans him up! Fakhar fancies a wild slog, and ends up getting beaten. It was on a good length on middle and off, and it just straightened after pitching. Fakhar went heaving across the line possibly towards deep midwicket, but swung too early. The ball went on to hit middle and off 108/25.4 Bracewell strikes and Imam's charge down the track proves to be his downfall. Tosses it up again, but it is perhaps the arm ball. Imam's intent is right - to shimmy down and go over mid-on. But because the ball went straight on, he ended up getting it off the inner half straight to Shipley there. Williamson's bowling change bears fruit straightaway. 30/136.3 Gottim! Big, big wicket for New Zealand. Babar is the man gone and it is all down to some smart bowling. Phillips spots Babar charging down and hurls it on a length on the pads, that spins down leg. Babar is almost in a tangle and fails to get bat to that. Latham is alert and swiftly collects it and whips the bails off. He is well out of the crease. How big a strike is this for New Zealand? 168/344.6 taken at cow corner! Is there a late twist? He tried the pull again, but this time didn't connect. Southee kept banging it in short, while angling it into the left-hander. Sohail backed away and pulled off middle and leg, but exactly where Santner was waiting. Santner went low, and took it well 232/4Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL258/4 (48.1 Overs, RR: 5.35)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Imam-ul-Haq, 5.4 ov), 2-108 (Fakhar Zaman, 22.5 ov), 3-168 (Babar Azam, 36.3 ov), 4-232 (Haris Sohail, 44.6 ov)
