NZ vs PAK Live Cricket Score

2.3 OUT! LBW! Masood departs! Tim Southee is the man once again who draws the first blood. Southee goes full and around off. A hint of tail back into the left hander. Masood fails to dig it out as he gets rapped on the boots. There comes an appeal from the bowler and up goes the finger of the umpire. Masood though consults his partner and then signals 'T'. The replays roll in and there comes the Ultra Edge which shows no spike when the bat is near the ball as it is pad first. Now comes the Ball Tracker and it shows that it is pitching in line, the impact is in line and the wickets too are hitting. Masood departs and takes away a review too.  4/1

20 OUT! CAUGHT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Jamieson it is once again who strikes for the Kiwis when they needed it. Kyle lands one around off and on a length as he went wide off the crease there. Abid comes forward and looks to push it but unfortunately he gets an outside edge that flies towards second slip where Tim Southee takes the catch. Pakistan lose both their openers.  66/2

62.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Heart break for Azhar Ali as he departs in nervous 90s. Delight for Matt Henry, he finally gets a wicket to his name. A brilliant innings from Azhar comes to an end. Henry bowls smartly around length and keeps it on off, Azhar who is camping on the back foot looks to defend it out but the ball just about moves away and takes the outside edge there. The ball flies towards first slip where Ross Taylor this time does not make any mistakes as he gobbles it up.  227/6

21.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Confusion leads to the downfall! Sohail's poor outing on this tour continues as he fails once again with the bat. Jamieson seems to have created a magic out there with the ball as whenever he comes onto bowl he makes sure to get a wicket. Once again he lands one around off and gets it to angle away from Haris, Sohail there is in two minds whether to leave or play. In the end, he is late to decide as the ball takes the cue-end of the bat and flies towards gully where Henry Nicholls takes the catch.  70/3

24 OUT! CAUGHT! A ripper from Jamieson consumes Fawad Alam. A well-directed short ball targetting the batsman, Alam who is glued on the back foot looks to get out of the line of fire but fails to do so. The ball takes the gloves and flies towards Watling who accepts the catch gleefully. Pakistan in deep trouble as they lose their 4th wicket.  83/4

46 OUT! CAUGHT! Pakistan lose half their side! An important stand is broken and it is that man Jamieson again. Rizwan was looking flawless till the time Kyle bowled this delivery. He lands on a length and around off, gets it to straighten off the surface a bit. Rizwan looks to defend it out but fails to get behind the line of the delivery as the outside edge flies at a good height towards BJ Watling who does not drop such catches. 88-run stand finally gets broken.  171/5

71.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Jamieson gets his third 5-wicket haul in Tests. Brilliantly bowled. He has made the ball talk today. He lands one on a fuller length and around off, Ashraf looks to drive it through the off side but the ball goes off his outside edge and towards first slip. Ross Taylor there does not make mistake as he takes the catch. The umpire though take it upstairs as they want to check whether it is a bump ball or not. The replays roll in and it confirms that it was a clean catch. Into the tail now are Pakistan.  260/7

80.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A brilliant innings on debut comes to an end. Southee comes back on and gets a wicket with the second new ball. The trap was set with deep square leg out there. Southee bowls short and around middle, Gohar cannot resist himself from going for the pull shot. He though mistimes it high in the air. Kyle Jamieson there settles under it and takes the catch.  282/8

81.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Boult finally gets a wicket! The harder ball gets carried away easily. Good length ball on off, Afridi looks to defend but gets an outside edge. It goes towards gully where Nicholls takes a comfortable catch.  285/9

83.5 OUT! CAUGHT! That brings the end of Pakistan innings. Boult cleans up the final two wickets. He lands one on a length and gets it to move away from the right hander, Naseem there goes chasing outside off. He though manages to get a thick outside edge which flies towards Latham at second slip who takes the catch with ease. PAKISTAN END WITH 297 AT THE END OF THEIR FIRST INNINGS!  297/10

20.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Latham is gone. Pakistan have struck again. Brilliant from Haris Sohail. New Zealand are 52/2. Good length ball outside off, Tom hangs his bat outside the line, looking to defend. He though ends up getting it off the outer half. It is uppish and goes to Shan Masood at second slip. He fumbles... but hang on.... hang on.... it goes to first slip off the deflection, where Sohail reacts really well to take the deflection. Everybody then falls on Haris Sohail, in celebration. Brilliant from Pakistan.  52/2

19.5 OUT! LBW! First wicket down! Exactly what Blundell was trying to negate. The seam movement, by staying outside his crease. Full and on off, Blundell looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal follows but to no avail. This time it is closer and Faheem Ashraf convinces his skipper to take the review, albeit in time. And Rizwan, after some deliberation, takes it. Replays are in and there is no bat there. So, we move straight to the Ball Tracker. THREE REDS.... and Tom Blundell has to walk back.  52/1

150.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Kane Williamson's marathon knock comes to an end. Brilliant innings from him and he gets a standing ovation from the crowd there. Faheem Ashraf is the man who gets him. Clever bowling from him. Short and outside off, Williamson plays the upper cut to it. He though knew as soon as he hit that. It goes towards third man where Shan Masood runs and takes a good catch.  585/6

30 OUT! CAUGHT! Great bowling by Abbas and he gets his man! Taylor walks back after not doing much and this partnership which could have harmed the visitors comes to a close. Abbas bowls this on a length and around off, nips away slightly after pitching, Taylor is late into the defensive push and can only induce an outside edge. The ball goes towards the slip cordon, where Masood takes a very good catch at second slip. Abbas is pumped up and deservedly so.  71/3

119.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Finally the stand is broken! Pakistan and Abbas are relieved! Henry goes off to a standing ovation there. Fabulous innings from him though. Abbas cleverly bowls a short ball and gets it to hurry onto the batsman, Nicholls goes for the pull but fails to nail it off the middle. The ball goes of the higher part of the bat and goes high towards deep square leg where the fielder does not make any mistake as he takes the catch, Naseem Shah it is. A marathon partnership of 369 runs finally comes to an end.  440/4

124 OUT! CAUGHT! EDGED AND GONE! Brilliant from Shaheen Afridi. That is the length he needs to bowl. Bowls a fuller one angled across the right hander. BJ Watling there goes with hard hands on the drive and with no feet movement. The ball flies off the outside edge and goes at a good height towards first slip where Haris Sohail accepts it gleefully.  452/5

7.2 OUT! CAUGHT! EDGED AND TAKEN! You can't keep Jamieson out of this game. Masood once again departs for a duck. Length ball angled across Masood, steepling bounce there on this one as Shan plays it off the back foot. He ekes out a thick outside edge which flies towards Southee at third slip who takes it with ease.  3/1

29.2 OUT! CAUGHT! What a wonderful catch and Jamieson has another wicket! Simply outstanding by Will Young! Takes it with just one hand, special piece of fielding by him there! Abid Ali was fighting it out hard in the middle but his gritty stay out in the middle comes to a close. Jamieson bowls this on a good length outside off, Abid slashes his blade at this and the ball flies towards the gully region. Will Young, the substitue fielder there, dives to his right, hangs his hand out there and Young grabs it with his right hand. Brilliant. Abid Ali stands there for some time, trying to comprehend what has happened and eventually walks back.  46/3

16 OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! The Kiwis get their first wicket of the day and the Nightwatchman goes back and takes a review along with him. Boult bowls a good length ball around the off pole, Abbas looks to push this one out to the off side but with no footwork. He can only induce an outside edge. The ball goes to Watling, who takes this and the players go up in appeal. The umpire obliges and raises his finger. Abbas decides that he wants to take this one upstairs and does so. Ultra Edge comes in and there is a clear spike, as the ball goes past the bat. Pakistan lose another wicket, and also lose a review.  17/2

47.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Jamieson comes around the wicket and gets the big fish, that is Azhar Ali! He has done really well to score his 37 but he could not continue on. There seems to be NO STOPPING Jamieson! He grabs his fourth wicket of the game. Kyle bowls a short one around the leg pole, Ali hops and tries to tuck this away but he only induces a slight edge. The ball goes towards Watling and he takes it easily. Pakistan are in a spot of bother now.  88/5

43.5 OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! It is Jamieson again who has provided the breakthrough for the Kiwis! Sohail departs again, for a very low score! Kyle has his third wicket and NZ have their fourth! A perfect start for them, after Lunch. Jamieson dishes a back of a length delivery around the off pole, Sohail looks to block this one out, but gets done by the extra bounce on offer. The ball takes the outside edge and goes to the left of BJ Watling and the keeper takes a good catch.  79/4

61.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The seventh one falls and this partnership is broken! Alam had been battling it out but he will not be able to continue on. The partnership was looking good but Boult breaks it apart. He bowls a good length ball outside off, moves away after pitching, Alam pokes his blade out, looking to connect bat with ball. All he can do is induce an outside edge and the ball flies towards the slip region, where Taylor, at first slip, makes no mistake. 3 more wickets needed for the Black Caps.  126/7

51.5 OUT! TIMBER! Jamieson, AGAIN! His golden patch continues and he grabs another one! He gets his 5-fer! Rizwan departs cheaply and Kyle is running riot all over this Pakistani batting lineup! Kyle goes for a length delivery around off, he gets it to nip back in sharply, something that Rizwan did not anticipate. Rizwan goes to have a push at this one but the ball sneaks in between his bat and pad and goes onto clip the top of the leg stump. This wicket also gets him 10 wickets for this game. Pakistan just do not seem to have any answer to the bowling by Jamieson.  98/6

71.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Kyle Jamieson has six wickets now and Pakistan are 8 wickets down in the game! The end is looking closer now for the visitors! Ashraf walks back after making 28 runs. Jamieson bowls a good length delivery around the off pole, Ashraf looks to poke this one away to the off side but the ball nips away and takes the outside edge, into Watling's mitts, who does not drop these. NZ just need 2 more wickets to win the game.  145/8

81.4 OUT! CAUGHT! THAT'S THAT! Boult grabs the last wicket! He bowls this full and on the pads, Gohar looks to flick this one but does so uppishly towards the fine leg region. Henry is the man there and he takes this one nicely. NEW ZEALAND WIN BY AN INNINGS AND 176 RUNS!  186/10

79.5 OUT! CAUGHT! The skipper picks up one wicket! Kane's first wicket as the Kiwi captain as well so this will mean special to him! Floated around off, Shaheen gets low and looks to slog sweep this one but the ball goes off the top edge, right next to the keeper. Taylor is the man there and he takes it easily. The Kiwis need just a single wicket now to win the game.  171/9
