6.2 in the air and taken by Blundell, eventually! Back of a length delivery on off stump that seems to stick in the surface again. Fakhar, like the previous game, has a hack across the line and gets a top edge. Blundell calls early and after misjudging it slightly, manages to hold on to it! Vital breakthrough for New Zealand! 36/1

16.2 googly on a length just outside off stump. Masood has a waft at it but sees the ball sneak past the outside edge. The keeper whips off the bails and convinces the umpire to go upstairs. We go through the entire protocol but there is a clear gap between bat and pad. Hang on...just hang on...Blundell and New Zealand could be in business here. Masood definitely dragged his back foot out of his crease and it looks like he has not managed to get back in time. The back toe is on the line when the bails are whipped off and Masood has to go! 86/2

47.6 holes out to deep mid wicket! Full delivery slanted into the batter outside leg stump. Babar tries to manufacture room and clip it over deep mid wicket but just does not have enough room to work with. Arrows it straight to deep mid wicket, where the fielder makes no mistake! Babar walks off to a standing ovation. Lister, meanwhile, has Babar as his maiden ODI wicket! 296/6

24.2 that could be close; in fact, it is out! Full delivery on off stump. Rizwan tips it down the ground towards mid on and sets off for the single instantly. He dives to make his ground as the fielder hits the stumps at the bowler's end. The dive does not save Rizwan, this time, though. Just short of his ground and New Zealand have a crucial middle-overs breakthrough! Excellent fielding by Henry! 128/3

40.6 what a catch, oh my word! Back of a length delivery on off stump that just sticks in the surface a little. Salman, taken aback by it, splices it towards the bowler. Henry flies to his right and plucks out a low one-handed catch! Stunning effort by Henry! Take nothing away from this Salman innings, though. It has given Pakistan the sort of momentum they were after heading into the death overs! 245/4

46.5 skies it and taken by Blundell! Off-pace delivery on a full length on middle and off stump. Iftikhar looks to tonk it into next week but it seems like he has not quite picked the variation. Swings too early and gets a top edge that Blundell pouches comfortably! 286/5

7.1 That has gone miles up in the air into the night sky and it gets more elevation than distance! Wasim Jnr strikes on his first delivery, he couldn't have asked for a better start! Haris Rauf at midwicket region tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand. There is no loose delivery to begin with, dug into the pitch and gets it to bounce steeply off the deck, he didn't get all of it, early into the thwack towards the leg side and he knew he erred big time 36/1

8.6 Straight down Iftikhar's throat at extra cover! What have you done Blundell? He takes the long walk back into the pavilion after getting off to a good start and he played some exquisite shots, he would be livid with himself for failing to push on, perhaps undone by the pace, the ball held up in the surface a little bit and he just flays his bat out, hits him high on the blade and Iftikhar didn't have to move much to gobble it up. Haris tells him who's the boss 46/2

25.6 Thick edge fountained straight up and fell into Shaheen Afridi's hands at backward point, Mitchell snaps under the pressure and mistimes a hack! Another one bites the dust. This is a massive wickets and an important moment in the game as Usama induces a rare false stroke and New Zealand find themselves in a rut, the scoreboard pressure was getting to them and he went for a rash shot, not looking under-controlled, the ball bounced and spun away more from his expectation, wasn't on top of the bounce 129/3

33.1 That's the line, finds the edge and Rizwan does the rest! Latham has a waft at it, feeling for it and he thread the needle to find just enough seam movement to draw the outside edge, that's Test match bowling, vintage Shaheen who has the last laugh as New Zealand stare into the abyss, captain goes back in the hut 184/4

35.2 Flighted, dangles a delicious legbreak on a shorter length, Chapman slinks back and miscues the flick, hits top of middle, zingers are alight. Important breakthrough because he is a dangerous customer, elation for Usama as he punches the air! New Zealand's progress beset by loss of wickets at regular intervals 201/5

36.3 Haris Rauf rearranges Neesham's stumps with a searing delivery! Comes from round the wicket, fires it on a length, came in with the angle, he gets a thick inside edge and chops it back onto the stumps. Success for Haris Rauf as he pumps his fists in ecstasy! 205/6

39.5 Miscues the skier! Pulled away in the air, didn't get all of it. Hits the deck hard and gets fierce bounce, he threw the kitchen sink at it, top edge ballooned up as Rizwan moved towards his left towards square leg and took a sprawling catch. Super stuff! 219/7

40.5 Leg-spinner flummoxes another leg-spinner! Biting legbreak, lots of flight as Sodhi comes down the track as the ball spins away sharply outside off, Rizwan quickly whips off the bails. Third scalp for Mir! 221/8

42.5 Holes out to Rauf at long-off! Smashes it right down his throat as he went hard against it, didn't get the requisite power behind the shot as Usama bags his fourth 230/9

43.4 Wrecked the stumps with a corker of a delivery! Pakistan have registered a comprehensive victory by 102 runs and climbed to the top of ODI rankings. A complete performance from the home side. New Zealand were no match to Pakistan's superior batting and bowling today. Pakistan made five changes to the team and everyone stepped up to the plate. Looks like it's a team that is shaping up nicely for the World Cup 232/10
