Right, that just about wraps it up for today. New Zealand win the series with a game to spare, and they have a chance to go three of three in Napier on Tuesday. We hope you join us then. Goodbye!
Tim Southee is player of the match for his 4-21. " It was nice to get some shape on the ball early. So I just kept putting it in the right areas and asking the questions of the batsman," he says.
"Pakistan are a quality side, they will be disappointed with the results in these first two games. But they're shaping up nicely for the Test series and we're looking forward to the challenge."
"We lost the Powerplay again and that's where we lost," says Shadab in a familiar refrain. "The conditions are a little bit difficult and these are young openers. They will learn quickly but they are inexperienced. We take positives off Hafeez bhai's innings. I need to take responsibility for that loss. I take responsibility and commit to doing better."
"Those ten days or so were really special but you shift your focus and try and help the boys out," Williamson says about his leave of absence for his first-born child. "We know how string this Pakistan team is and really satisfying to get across the line today.
"Great knocks by both Hafeez and Seifert, but these pitches show if you can build partnerships you can get into strong positions. This was probably a par chase and we're happy to get it done."
