- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 The man in form departs early in the piece! On a length and swerving away outside off, he throws the kitchen sink at it, playing it across the line, miscues the skier and gets a top edge that lobs up into the Karachi sky, Blundell makes no mistake and gobbles it up gleefully behind the stumps. New Zealand get the big fish! A very crucial breakthrough for the visitors, they will breathe a sigh of relief! 37/137.6 Sounds the death rattle! Gets reward for his discipline, comes around the wicket, hits he deck hard and gets the ball to jag back just enough to induce the false shot, he is early into the cut shot and ends up dragging it back onto the stumps, Milne has the last laugh! It was a scorching thunderbolt and Pakistan's progress has been beset by the quick loss of wickets 192/428.3 Crackerjack! Disturbs the furniture! Back of a length on a nagging off stump line, he gets a little bit of seam movement off the deck and Babar was into the cut shot early, ends up chopping it back onto the stumps and Henry strikes! That's a timely scalp for New Zealand just when Babar Azam was trying to switch gears. 145/234.6 Stunning catch by Tom Latham at extra-cover! Went far across his crease to make room and swatted it off the backfoot but hands it straight to the man in the covers who gobbles it up like a bird catches its prey, absolute ripper and Abdullah starts talking the long walk back into the pavilion. 182/347.5 Full toss swatted to fielder in the deep, a well-judged catch at deep square, went for the full-blooded thwack, didnt' get the power and elevation and the third umpire is taking a look at it, it is not adjudged as a no-ball and Rizwan departs, McConchie takes a superb catch, didn't have to move a muscle to gobble it up. 261/645.6 Looking to go over extra cover but doesn't get underneath it, what a snare from Milne at extra cover, makes it look so easy and another one bites the dust! Agha was trying to larrup it over the fielder in the ring but just couldn't find the power with the ball dipping at him and Henry did well to follow him up and cramped him for room 246/5Extras10 (lb 2, w 8)TOTAL287/6 (50 Overs, RR: 5.74)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Fakhar Zaman, 8.2 ov), 2-145 (Babar Azam, 28.3 ov), 3-182 (Abdullah Shafique, 34.6 ov), 4-192 (Imam-ul-Haq, 37.6 ov), 5-246 (Salman Agha, 45.6 ov), 6-261 (Mohammad Rizwan, 47.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.3 brilliant fielding, and Young might be on his way! Length delivery on middle and leg stump that spins away sharply. Young is squared up and gets an outside edge down to short third man. Blundell then calls him through for the single and while Young responds, he cannot make it in time at the other end as Salman hits the stumps! Massive, massive moment in the game! 83/125.5 oh dear! That is catastrophic from New Zealand's perspective! Back of a length delivery on leg stump that spins into the batter. Blundell pulls it past square leg and then decides to come back for the second. Not sure if that is on, though, and despite the dive, Blundell is miles short of his ground as Rizwan collects Wasim's throw and whips off the bails! 128/322.1 holes out to deep square leg! Full and angled into the pads. Mitchell tries to flick it up and over deep square leg but does not quite middle it. In fact, he is a tad early into his stroke and chalks it off the toe-end. Shafique settles himself on the fence and does the rest! 113/241.2 cleans him up! Full delivery darted into the stumps from around the wicket. Latham tries the cute, little lap but gets into an awkward position. The ball keeps following him and in the end, he just does not have enough room to free his arms and get under it. Ball smashes into the stumps and that is a massive, massive blow to New Zealand's chances! 196/634.1 and he knocks Chapman over! Back of a length delivery on middle and off stump that seems to skid through. Chapman is awfully late on the stroke and can't get his bat down in time as it pegs back off stump! Naseem was brought back into the attack to break this partnership and he has done that at the first time of asking! 168/435.4 soft dismissal! Full delivery just outside off stump. Nicholls gets down on one knee and tries to swipe it away like Latham. This one, though, just sticks in the surface enough and bounces extra to take the leading edge and lob towards deep backward square leg, where Shafique does the rest! NZ in a lot of bother now! 171/544.5 Shaheen hits the stumps! Full and slanted into middle and leg stump. Milne, without much foot movement, has a waft at it and gets nowhere close to the ball. It sneaks between bat and pad, and then thuds into leg stump! 227/747.1 holes out to deep mid wicket! Half-tracker outside off stump, and Shipley, trying to clear deep mid wicket, gets a very good piece of it. The only problem, though, is that he does not quite get the elevation he is after. Arrows it towards deep mid wicket, where Wasim runs to his right and holds on to a sharp chance! 246/848.4 sizzling yorker and it gets the better of Sodhi! Excellent yorker that hones in on off stump. Sodhi tries to jam it out into the off side but is late on the stroke. The ball whistles past the bat before smashing into off stump! 258/949.1 that will be that! Pakistan win by 26 runs! Full and angled into the stumps. McConchie shanks it towards long on and Henry decides that he wants to go back for the second. The fielder, though, is alert enough to pick it up cleanly and fire it at the bowler's end. Naseem does the rest and Henry, despite the dive, is well short of his ground! 261/10Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL261 all out (49.1 Overs, RR: 5.3)Fall of wickets: 1-83 (Will Young, 15.3 ov), 2-113 (Daryl Mitchell, 22.1 ov), 3-128 (Tom Blundell, 25.5 ov), 4-168 (Mark Chapman, 34.1 ov), 5-171 (Henry Nicholls, 35.4 ov), 6-196 (Tom Latham, 41.2 ov), 7-227 (Adam Milne, 44.5 ov), 8-246 (Henry Shipley, 47.1 ov), 9-258 (Ish Sodhi, 48.4 ov), 10-261 (Matt Henry, 49.1 ov)
