134/4 after 34 overs.

Shady into the attack.

50 for Ross Taylor. Very low SR but the scorecard was really bad and he could take no risks at all.

Henry bowled by Hasan. Misses the ball completely while trying to smack the off side delivery to midwicket. Partnership of 75. The best of the NZ innings so far.

148/5.

Shadab strikes. Easy catch offered by CDG to Hasan at long on. Wicket maiden over.

157/6.

Not a single boundary or sixer hit of 25 overs of spin bowling.

Tim Southee finds it shocking as well. Hits a 4 immediately.

Southee caught at long on by Imam. 3rd wicket for Shaheen.

177/7.

4 and a sixer by Ish. 16 runs scored of Hasan's over.
The biggest of this innings. 2 overs left

194/7 from 48 overs

2 wickets in 2 balls. One each to Shaheen and Hasan.

199/5. Just 5 balls left of the innings.

NZ 209 / 9 in 50.

Ross Taylor top scoring with 86. Top scored with 80 in last match as well.

Same wicket was used for first ODI so it's not going to be easy for Pak. Still 225 would have been a fighting score. Not ruling out Kiwis though.

Imam-Ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman to open. Imam-Ul-Haq the relative of chief selector Inzamam-Ul-Haq to take strike against Boult.

16/0 in 4 overs. No early wickets for Kiwis.

Trent Boult isn't getting his yorkers right tonight. Good though that he is few of those bowlers now-a-days who atleast try to bowl yorkers freuqnetly.

Well disguised slower ball by Southee at 101 kph. Imam struggled to play that properly.

Short by Southee and Fakhar pulls it well for 4.
Pak 38/0.
