- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 Half-tracker outside off, got in a terrible position and tries to force it down the ground, miscued it and James Neesham pouches it safely in his hands, moving to his right and keeping his eyes locked on the ball at long-off, brilliant catch on the move. Ish Sodhi produces his magic without any delay. Will that help bring the scoring rate down? 55/110.1 Lost the plot right after the break, spoons it straight to the man at backward point, Bracewell gets the prized scalp. A harmless length ball just inside the marker on off and he jabs it away to straight into the hands of Duffy who collects it calmly. Gave him lots of flight and induced an error 84/219.6 Bowls full and gets some sideways movement on a nettlesome off-stump line, played down the wrong line and Foulkes finishes the over with a dot, New Zealand have done well to keep them to a decent total, it's not that imposing but still good enough on a tricky surface 178/412.5 Skips down the track and powers this up and over mid-off but finds Duffy at wide long-on who takes a sprawling catch in the deep as the ball was swirling in the air. Just when he tried to tee off, he has lost his wicket, vital breakthrough for New Zealand because he can be dangerous with his power-hitting 104/318.3 Short and wide, thrashes it insolently but finds Mark Chapman who jumps gamely at cover and takes a stunning catch, just had to clear one man but picked him with perfection, it's been a great counter-attacking innings, exactly what Pakistan needed, it was a cunning slower delivery on off 166/4Extras9 (b 1, lb 1, nb 3, w 4)TOTAL178/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Saim Ayub, 6.2 ov), 2-84 (Babar Azam, 10.1 ov), 2-103* (Mohammad Rizwan, retired not out ), 3-104 (Usman Khan, 12.5 ov), 4-166 (Shadab Khan, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 Stumps shattered, what a sight for the bowler! Demolishes him with an inswinging yorker, he backs away, exposes the stumps and sees the ball smashing the middle stump, backed away too much 53/24.5 Dragged it back onto the stumps, Abbas Afridi draws first blood. Zingers are alight, it was a rapid delivery on a hard length that got a little bit of inward seam movement and he played all around it, made some room to cut and got flummoxed by the low bounce too 42/117.1 Banged in short on a irksome off-stump line, tries to boom him down the ground and gets the leading edge, Abbas settles under it catches it well, too little too late for Pakistan 170/3Extras6 (nb 1, w 5)TOTAL179/3 (18.2 Overs, RR: 9.76)Fall of wickets: 1-42 (Tim Seifert, 4.5 ov), 2-53 (Tim Robinson, 5.5 ov), 3-170 (Dean Foxcroft, 17.1 ov)
