0.3 THE FINGER IS RAISED YET AGAIN AS THERE IS ANOTHER APPEAL FOR LBW! This looks out but Allen reviews. HAWK EYE SHOWS THREE REDS! OUT! Allen has to walk back this time as the review does not save him. He takes a review along with him. Shaheen has his revenge and New Zealand have been set back early. Perfect for Pakistan. Allen just moves across way too much. He was almost standing around the off pole. Shaheen goes full again, he gets it to tail back in from off. Allen swings but misses and gets hit on the front pad. It looks quite adjacent. The review was not a good one by Allen. What an action-packed start to this game. A boundary, a successful review from Allen and then a poor one. 4/1

6 OUT! RUN OUT! BULL'S EYE FROM SHADAB KHAN! A successful Powerplay for Pakistan and they are right on top in the game. A length ball, outside off. Conway checks his shot as he chips it straight to mid off and calls for a quick single. A risky one. Shadab Khan collects the ball on a bounce, at a good height and hits at the bowler's end. He along with other Pakistani players were confident about the result and the replay confirms that Devon Conway is out. Just when New Zealand were motoring along, Pakistan strike. Not sure why Conway did not put in the dive, a dive might have just saved him there. 38/2

16.2 OUT! TIMBER! This time the angle works for Afridi!! The slower balls are working on this pitch. Afridi bowls a length ball from around the wicket and on leg. Kane Williamson shuffles a bit too much as he looks to paddle it away. He misses and the ball hits the stumps. Kane Williamson's long stay comes to an end. A good finish is required from both teams now. 117/4

8 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A big wicket for Pakistan as the man in form goes for a low score. Glenn Phillips is livid with himself. Could have played a bit more carefully. He tries to play with the spin but mistimes here. Pakistan all over New Zealand at the moment. Nawaz tosses it up and on midde, this one holds onto the surface. Glenn Phillips tries to flick it away but gets a leading edge and the ball lobs back to Nawaz who holds onto it. 49/3

17 OUT! CAUGHT! A dramatic ball. Boult serves a full toss, outside off. Rizwan skips down and slashes it to deep cover where the catch is taken. There was a slight chance for it to be called a no ball for the height so the player quickly throws the ball at the bowler's end where Rizwan is run out. The umpires gather and take it upstairs. The replay shows it is a legal delivery and Rizwan is out with Glenn Phillips taking the catch. 132/2

12.4 OUT! TAKEN! New Zealand have the opening now! Babar Azam goes for a fine fifty. Boult comes back into the attack and strikes for his team. On a length and on middle. Azam tries to hit through the line as he looks to go downtown but only gets elevation on it. Daryl Mitchell at long on takes it. Is it too late for New Zealand or the floodgates will open? 48 runs needed in 44 balls. 105/1

19 OUT! Anti-climatic end to the innings! Short and around off. Haris gets low to pull but gets a top edge and Finn Allen takes a simple catch at short fine leg. Mohammad Haris has done the job though. 2 needed now. 151/3
