- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR36.2 short on off, and pretty slow. Pushed to cover, as there is a direct hit at the bowler's end! New Zealand think it's out, while even Fakhar doesn't look confident. And yeah, replays show he is well short of his crease. He had been struggling ever since he complete his 100th run, perhaps because the throw during that ball ended up hitting his leg somewhere. Anyway, a brilliant knock comes to an end 191/41.6 Latham takes the ball low to his left, but looks like there is no bat involved. But scratch that, as Williamson reviews for caught behind even after it was given not out. Length ball pitching on leg, and angling across to just pass by off stump. Masood tries to push at this with a slightly angled bat, with the ball moving away enough to just tickle his outside edge. Wow, what a review, considering Williamson seemed to be the only one who seemed curious. Anyway, Masood's comeback lasts for only two balls 2/16.3 ah, stumped first ball! Babar walks back in disbelief. There was no turn there, as he was leaning forward to push at this good length ball around fifth stump. It was tossed up, and was dipping, as the bat got stuck with his pad, with the ball going on straight. Babar had dragged himself to far out while having a go at the ball, as Latham spotted his back leg outside the crease, and whipped the bails off 21/233.2 got him, the googly has him cleaned up! Not sure if Rizwan judged the length and the turn there. He gave himself room, first shaping to cut the ball away, only to realise that it actually bounced more than what he would have liked, while also turning into leg from off stump. He then tried to ramp, with the ball coming on very slowly, but missed. And like he does so often, he almost ended up losing his balance while trying to play 175/342.4 short and follows Haris who was backing away once again. Another one on a heavy length. Jabbed away between mid-off and short extra-cover. Nicholls, the sub, swoops down on the ball at short extra-cover and throws the stumps down at the non-striker's end to catch Haris well short of his crease. Haris isn't even in the frame 225/548.4 Salman backs away outside leg and holes out to deep square leg for 45 off 43. Doug Bracewell snags this in the deep. On-pace short ball that follows Salman. He can't clear the boundary 270/846.4 Another slower one, this hits the top of off stump. 115ks cutter from round the wicket. Nawaz is a bit early into the cut and is bowled for 8 off 9 balls 247/646.6 slower ball, angling into off, grips in the pitch. Mir gets more height as opposed to distance. Holes out to deep midwicket, where Nicholls, the sub, makes another contribution in the field, in the absence of Sodhi 253/749.4 full and outside off, sliced hiiiiiiiigh in the air and the ball drops down safely into the hands of Williamson at mid-off. Slot ball, but Wasim can only toe-end it to the NZ skipper 276/9Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL280/9 (50 Overs, RR: 5.6)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Shan Masood, 1.6 ov), 2-21 (Babar Azam, 6.3 ov), 3-175 (Mohammad Rizwan, 33.2 ov), 4-191 (Fakhar Zaman, 36.2 ov), 5-225 (Haris Sohail, 42.4 ov), 6-247 (Mohammad Nawaz, 46.4 ov), 7-253 (Usama Mir, 46.6 ov), 8-270 (Salman Agha, 48.4 ov), 9-276 (Mohammad Wasim, 49.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.5 direct at the striker's end, and Pakistan are celebrating already. It is the sub fielder Tahir at cover who does the job. Allen was well short of his crease, and was not really running very quickly there. Maybe he wasn't expecting the throw at his end. On a good length just outside off, as Conway punched it and set off. But the day for substitutes continues going well 43/120.5 sliced to point! Well taken, as it was a low catch with the ball dipping on to him. It was given loop, as he bowled full around fifth stump. Conway opened the face of the bat, but ended up lifting that right where the fielder was positioned, which was actually closer than usual. Salman breaks the solid stand, as Conway departs for a well-made 52 108/233.3 another run-out in the game? Williamson walking with his head down, and rightly so. Replays show he is well short when the stumps are broken by Rizwan. Pakistan get the big fish against the run of play, and this match has cracked open now. Very quick pick-up and throw by Wasim at short third. This time Latham went for the reverse sweep, as the ball was fuller and wide-ish of off. They set off immediately, but the fielder was quite close in, and reacted very quickly 169/430.6 reverse swept to short third! There is no doubt about this one, as Salman gets Mitchell after missing out on a chance to dismiss Williamson this over. Good catch by Mir sliding to his right. Salman went full on leg, and gave the ball some air. Mitchell was early in rolling his wrists, and sent that popping up behind the wicket, breaking a steady stand in pursuit of quick runs 160/338.1 Wasim comes back and takes out Latham. Back of a length and angling across off, not much room for Latham though to free his arms. He aims to drag it into the leg side, but loses his shape and plays on. Wasim wheels away in celebration. Pakistan ramp up the pressure on NZ 205/635.3 Oh, what are NZ doing? They're collapsing. Quicker legbreak, turns in from outside off, Bracewell aims to cut it away, instead only chops it back onto his own stumps. Too close to off for the cut. The asking rate rises even further 181/545.3 Nawaz castles Santner. Is there a late twist in Karachi. Slower through the air, grips and turns from a fuller length. Santner falls away, stabs and misses the ball altogether 269/747.5 back of a length and angling into middle, Sodhi can't clear mid-on. Weakly chips it to Salman. Sodhi goes with NZ 2 away from victory 279/8Extras19 (b 3, lb 4, nb 2, w 10)TOTAL281/8 (48.1 Overs, RR: 5.83)Did not bat: LH FergusonFall of wickets: 1-43 (Finn Allen, 8.5 ov), 2-108 (Devon Conway, 20.5 ov), 3-160 (Daryl Mitchell, 30.6 ov), 4-169 (Kane Williamson, 33.3 ov), 5-181 (Michael Bracewell, 35.3 ov), 6-205 (Tom Latham, 38.1 ov), 7-269 (Mitchell Santner, 45.3 ov), 8-279 (Ish Sodhi, 47.5 ov)
