- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.4 Holed out into the leg-side! Gentle-paced ball, angling into the pads, Babar nonchalantly flips it aerially into the onside but does not get enough bat on this. It's safely gobbled up at deep midwicket and Tickner has drawn firstblood for the tourists. 51/15.5 And out! Fuller delivery outside off, Haris stoops low and attempts the ramp straight-away, ends up skying it and it's easily held at short fine-leg. A brave shot to try first-up and it has not paid off. Two-in-two for Tickner and New Zealand are clawing their way back now 51/26.2 Sodhi strikes gold immediately! Wrong-un, drifting away from the southpaw, Saim tries to turn it around the corner but gets a thick leading edge that drops safely back into Sodhi's hands. Pakistan in a huge spot of bother now 52/313.6 And gone next ball! Tickner gets his man this time. Banged in even shorter this time, homing into his body, Iftikhar splices his hook shot and can't quite get it over the deep square leg fielder. Easy catch there as Tickner gets his third of the night. Excellent comeback from the NZ quick 123/419.4 Out! Length ball, swirling away, Imad tries to glide it fine but misses to connect. Rizwan calls for a scampered run but it's too tight as Imad turns back. An underarm throw from Latham, however, finds him short of his crease at the striker's end and Imad has to depart 191/5Extras8 (b 1, lb 2, w 5)TOTAL193/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.65)Fall of wickets: 1-51 (Babar Azam, 5.4 ov), 2-51 (Mohammad Haris, 5.5 ov), 3-52 (Saim Ayub, 6.2 ov), 4-123 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 13.6 ov), 5-191 (Imad Wasim, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 Gone first ball! Length ball, swirling away, Latham splices his aerial square drive and it flies towards Shadab at backward point who gobbles it up. Shaheen strikes in his first over yet again and Pakistan have drawn first-blood 0/13.5 Chopped on! Imad gets the last laugh. Flatter trajectory, fifth stump line, Bowes moves away again and tries to access the off-side, it skids across the surface, brushes the inner splice of the bat and crashes into the timberwork behind him 26/30.5 Edged and gone! Length ball on off-stump, angled across the batter, Young tries to dab it fine but gets a fine tickle through to the keeper and he has to trudge off. Two in the over for Shaheen 4/29.5 Holed out! Loopy off-break on the stumps, Mitchell brings out the long levers and tries to loft it over wide long-on, does not get it off the meaty half of the bat and sends it straight down Rauf's throat. 73/4Extras7 (lb 1, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL194/4 (19.2 Overs, RR: 10.03)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Tom Latham, 0.1 ov), 2-4 (Will Young, 0.5 ov), 3-26 (Chad Bowes, 3.5 ov), 4-73 (Daryl Mitchell, 9.5 ov)
