PAK vs NZ Live Cricket Score

7 OUT! STUMPED! Unfortunate way to go for Munro. He jumps down the track, looks to swing hard but the ball takes the inside edge and hits him on the boot. Now, normally, the ball should be deflecting to the leg side but instead it rolls back. Easy stumping for Sarfraz. Munro is yards out. Misses out on a half century but Pakistan have a big opening. 56/2

5.5 OUT! Caught behind! The opening stand is broken, once again on 50. The 18-year old has done it for his side. A length ball, outside leg, Phillips looks to play this to the leg side but the ball seams away, takes something, either inside edge or the pad, on first look, to the keeper behind. Afridi straightaway appeals while Phillips does not walk. Umpire Shozab Raza initially stands still, then raises his finger, after a nod of his head. No review from Phillips, so must have been an inside edge. Yes. Replays detect only wood. 50/1

17.1 OUT! In the air... caught! Williamson departs and a timely wicket for Pakistan as this partnership was starting to look very dangerous. The slower ball on middle, Kane walks across his stumps and tries to flick. He gets elevation but not the distance. Zaman in the deep square leg region runs to his left and takes a good catch. A good innings by Williamson comes to an end. He held fort at one end when New Zealand kept losing wickets at the other. 150 now though looks a little tough. 125/5

9.4 OUT! Caught! Well, Colin tries for a grand hit but is back in the hut instead. Tossed up very slowly outside off, de Grandhomme jumps out of his crease and looks to go big but is not quite to the pitch of the ball. Mistimes it high in the air and Shoaib Malik takes it quite easily at long on. 67/3

12.4 OUT! Taylor is well short. Not sure why that was taken upstairs as Taylor himself was walking. This is last thing New Zealand wanted. They would have hoped for this pair to bat deep but it is not to be. A needless run. Williamson flicks it through mid-wicket. They run the first one hard and then go for a second. Asif Ali there is quick to the ball and he fires it to the bowler. It is right besides the stumps and Shadab collects it and whips the bails off. The players appeal, the umpire goes up to check and replays show, Taylor is well short. Ross fails to make an impact this time and Pakistan continue to dominate. 83/4

19.2 OUT! Seifert holes out! The slower ball on middle, Tim is very early into the shot. He only hits it high up in the air towards long on. Shadab Khan settles under it and takes it with ease. 148/6

19.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Southee siwngs and misses. Anderson wants strike so he goes for the run. Sarfraz throws it towards the bowler. Southee does try to come in between but the ball misses him. Afridi collects the ball and hits bull's eye at his end. Anderson will be on strike though. 149/7

4.4 OUT! Kane Williamson has pulled out an absolute stunner! You won't see many catches like this too often but with New Zealand in the field, you can expect it! The Flying Kiwi! A delight to watch! Milne delivers it on a length around off, at 147 kph, Zaman tries to pump it over mid off but fails to get the desired connection. It loops in the air towards mid off where Williamson flies to his left and takes one-handed ripper. They needed something special to dismiss Fakhar who was looking in scintillating form. 40/1

13 OUT! Maybe that little stop in play hampered Babar's momentum. He tries to invent a shot over mid off but fails to get the desired elevation to go over the fielder inside the ring. Ferguson (sub) takes an easy catch to break the 56-run stand. New Zealand would like to build on this now. 58 runs needed more in 42 balls! 96/2

16 OUT! LBW off a rank full toss. Wow. Sometimes bowlers get lucky with absolutely poor delivery. Munro switches to 'round the wicket and serves it in line of the stumps again. Ali stands back to swing it over the leg side but fails to put bat on ball. The ball dips in to strike him on the back thigh pad, they appeal and the finger goes up. Sarfraz ain't impressed. 40 needed off 24 balls. 114/3

19.2 OUT! Malik holes out! Another rank full toss fetching a wicket. It's angling into the batsman, Malik stays back and tries to power it over mid-wicket. Fails to make proper connection and Phillips in the deep mid-wicket region makes no mistake. Is there any twist in the tale? 6 needed off 4 balls. 148/4
