NZ vs PAK Live Cricket Score

20.2 OUT! LBW! A massive shout for LBW, but turned down! Mohammad Rizwan is literally pleading with the umpire, as it looks really close, too. Pakistan take the review. This is floated, full and on middle and leg, turns in. Rhys Mariu goes down to sweep, but this is too full for that shot, and he misses to get hit on the pads. The only thing that can save him, if it is pitching outside leg. However, UltraEdge confirms that no bat is involved, and Ball Tracking comes up three reds! Another timely wicket for Pakistan as Mariu departs for 58 off 61. The Kiwis are three down now. 103/3

3 OUT! CAUGHT! A sharp catch has ended the short stay of Nick Kelly as he goes for 3(9) and New Zealand are 13/1. Naseem bowls it fuller and on the pads, gets it to swing back in, Nick Kelly lunges and flicks it. He connects it well, but towards short mid-wicket. Abdullah Shafique puts in a dive to his right there and picks it up just above the ground. The precise field placement has provided this early wicket for Pakistan. 13/1

17.1 OUT! TAKEN! Akif Javed gets the breakthrough for Pakistan! A much-needed one for the visitors as the big 78-run stand is broken now.

The keeper is up in celebration for a caught behind, but the umpire hasn't moved. New Zealand have decided to review it.
