    26.3 in the air, and taken at long off! Given a bit of air on a full length just outside off stump. Young looks to smash it over long off but for the first time in a while, is not quite to the pitch of the ball. It grips in the surface and spins away a touch too, taking the outer half of the bat and spooning up towards long off, where Rauf does the rest! 150/2
    9.4 edged and taken! Rauf gets the breakthrough! Length delivery that pitches on off stump and decks back sharply. Bowes, without much foot movement, has a poke at it and is cut in half because of the inward movement. The ball kisses the inside edge and floats through to Rizwan, who completes a smart grab to his left! 48/1
    46.1 holes out to deep mid wicket! Cutter on a length on leg stump. Mitchell does not seem to pick it and has a slog at it. Because he is so early into the stroke, he can only toe-end it towards deep mid wicket, where Fakhar runs in from the fence and completes a regulation catch! An excellent innings comes to an end, and this knock has given New Zealand the right platform to make a game out of this! 260/5
    39.4 huge appeal, and that looks very plumb! Rank full toss on middle and off stump, and on most days, Latham would have whipped this away. Today, though, he is struggling so much that he misses it altogether and is pinned on the front pad. The umpire raises his finger but Latham wants to have another look. If there is no bat involved, this could be curtains for the Kiwi captain. Clear gap between bat and ball, in fact, so much that the umpire does not even bother with UltraEdge. And the ball is just clipping leg stump. Umpire's Call and Latham has to go! 222/3
    43.4 pegs back off stump! Length delivery on off stump. Chapman walks across his stumps and tries to lap it over fine leg. He gets into a decent enough position but is just a little late on the stroke. The ball breezes past the bat and smashes into the top of off stump! 248/4

    49.5 taken at long on! Back of a length delivery on middle and leg stump. Ravindra comes down the track and has a swing at it. Does not get hold of it at all and offers some simple catching practice to Nawaz. Naseem, though, is elated. He finally has something to show for his toil today! 288/6
    49.6 and he gets cleaned up! Naseem has two! Full, fast and darted into leg stump. Milne does not pick it until very late and has a stab at it. The ball breezes under his bat, deflects off his pads and thuds into the stumps! 288/7

    42.2 Over the wicket, tossed up on a fuller length, a false stroke, he has a mighty swing at it across the line and doesn't time the slog sweep well, it lobs up in the air and Bowes takes a regulation catch at mid-on, an anticlimactic finish to a wonderful knock as Ravindra gets his first wicket and it's a huge one! 255/4
    21.2 Tremendous riposte! Imam is pegged back and stuck on the crease while trying to manoeuvre the ball towards the leg side, that turn sharply from middle and rapped on the pads, pinned in front, no way he is getting that overturned, three reds on the big screen and Sodhi has the last laugh, much needed breakthrough for New Zealand 124/1
    35.2 Lovely ball, scorching away outside off and he nicks it through to the keeper, gets out on 49 and the crowd is despondent! Milne is pumping his fists in elation; he has got the big fish! Serious pace drawing an edge that rockets to the keeper. 214/2
    37.4 Shan's misery comes to an end as he chips this delivery straight to Nicholls at cover, pushing at it and playing away from his body, not finding the timing he was looking for as Nicholls gallops it like a bird catches its prey 217/3

    45.2 Wafting and edging! Fraction short and in the channel, he goes for the cut, gets a thick outside edge and it nestles into Latham's glove as Agha takes the long walk back into the pavilion, he was trying to whack it across the line and is disappointed by his effort 273/5
