Hasan Nawaz looks to heave it across the line but it comes off the cue end of the blade and flies off the edge toward the deep point region. Mark Chapman runs back, keeps his eye on the ball, and completes a fine catch. Hasan Nawaz trudges off for a duck twice in a row now. Pakistan are rocked early. 1/1

The ball goes toward the deep square leg region. Mark Chapman moves to his left and takes a sharp catch. Agha departs for a quick 46 off just 28, and Pakistan have lost half of their side now. 76/5

7 OUT! TAKEN! Ish Sodhi gets his second! Sodhi bowls a fullish googly, just outside off. Khushdil Shah looks to play across the line but looks to have missed. The keeper, Mitchell Hay looks confident of the edge and appeals but the umpire is unmoved. Michael Bracewell has a word with the bowler and the keeper and takes the review. The replays and UltraEdge show a faint spike and the decision is overturned. Pakistan lose their fourth and are in some trouble now. 52/4

11.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust! Back-of-a-length delivery, into the pitch. Shadab Khan looks to clear the ropes but it comes off the cue end of the blade. Gets the height but not the distance and is taken near the long-on boundary by Daryl Mitchell. A handy knock from Shadab Khan comes to an end. Pakistan slides further. 110/6

13 OUT! TAKEN! James Neesham gets two wickets in the over! Good-length delivery on off. Abdul Samad looks to clear the infield, but it comes high off the bat and lobs up toward the mid-off region. Daryl Mitchell there, takes a simple catch. Pakistan are eight down now. 114/8

12.2 OUT! TAKEN! James Neesham gets among the wickets! Slower ball on a length, around off. Jahandad Khan clears the front leg and looks to swing hard at it. It comes off the cue end and slices it toward the extra cover region. Zakary Foulkes runs around and takes a good catch. Pakistan are crumbling now. 111/7

15 OUT! RUN OUT! James Neesham bowls another wide yorker, on off, Shaheen Afridi jams it out towards sweeper covers and turns around for the second. Michael Bracewell is quick to pick up the ball and throw it at the bowler's end on the bounce. James Neesham collects it and breaks the stumps with Rauf well short of his crease. Pakistan finishes on 135/9! 135/9

4.4 OUT! TAKEN! Mohammad Ali gets his first T20I wicket! Some relief for Pakistan! This is a slower one again, hard length and on middle. Tim Seifert backs away and looks to heave it away but goes through it a bit early. The ball hits him high on the bat and loops towards mid on where Shaheen Afridi takes a good catch. Seifert walks back after a fiery 45 off just 22! 66/1

6.5 OUT! LBW! Jahandad Khan has the last laugh, but the damage is already done here! He goes fuller and on middle, angling in. Finn Allen steps across to slog it over mid-wicket but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is a big appeal for LBW, and this time the finger goes up. However, Allen takes the review here. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking comes up with two reds and wickets is umpire's call. The on-field call remains but the Kiwis do not lose the review.  Allen goes for a blazing 38 off 16, and New Zealand are 87/2. 87/2

7.4 OUT! TAKEN! Khushdil Shah strikes! One brings two for Pakistan! This is a bit slower through the air, short and on middle. Mark Chapman rocks back to pull it away but fails to get the timing right on this one. The ball flies straight towards deep square leg where Jahandad Khan takes it nicely with a reverse cup. The Kiwis are three down now! 91/3

12.5 OUT! TAKEN! Shadab Khan makes up for his dropped catch in fine fashion! Haris Rauf takes pace off, hits the length hard and on middle. Daryl Mitchell backs away to push it but fails to keep it down. The ball flies wide of short covers where Shadab dives to his right and takes a fantastic catch. Rauf appreciates that effort and it is all smiles between the duo. 132/5

8.3 OUT! TAKEN SUPERBLY IN THE DEEP! Haris Rauf gets a wicket now! He bangs this one into the pitch and on middle. James Neesham connects with his pull well but hits it a bit flat towards deep square leg. Abdul Samad runs to his left and pouches it brilliantly with a dive. Is this the opening Pakistan were looking for? 97/4
