NZ vs PAK Live Cricket Score

3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Naseem Shah gets the reward for his consistency! Bowls it in the length region, outside off with a slight shape away from the batter. Young is in two minds - to play or to leave, he hangs his bat out and feathers it to second slip where Salman Agha dives forward to take a low catch. Good start by the visitors. 8/1

8.2 OUT! BOWLED! One debutant has got the better of another! What a moment for Javed! Change of ends does wonders for him! Fires in a length ball, around off and it comes with an angle and bit of inward movement as well. Kelly opens up a bit and tries to play through the line but misses and it rolls past his inside edge and clips the top of middle. 33/2

12.4 OUT! TAKEN! Akif Javed gets his second on debut! The short ball plan has worked for Pakistan, and Henry Nicholls' struggle at the crease comes to an unfortunate end. This is another sharp bumper from the left-armer, on middle and off. Nicholls is determined and goes for the pul again but loses his shape completely and goes through the shot a bit early as well. The ball lobs up off the toe-end of the bat and Babar Azam at covers takes the simplest of catches. New Zealand are 50/3 now and in a spot of bother! 50/3

43.3 OUT! TAKEN! Jaw-dropping catch from Tayyab Tahir! Chapman goes back to a standing ovation from McLean Park! Superb play all around! Short in length and on middle, Mark Chapman pulls it flat and hard to deep square leg. Tayyab Tahir there times his jump to perfection and takes it with both hands, he gets down and almost falls behind onto the ropes but does really well to hold onto himself and stay from the cushion cover. End of a thrilling innings from Mark Chapman. 280/5

41.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Has Mitchell edged this? Mohammad Rizwan thinks so and takes it upstairs. Was the slower one at 116 clicks, length and outside off, Mitchell tries to hit it hard across the line but seems to miss it. UltraEdge shows a spike! OUT IT IS! Excellent review from Pakistan and they have an opening here. The partnership of 199 has been broken! 249/4

50 OUT! TAKEN! Muhammad Abbas holes out this time! Mohammad Ali takes pace off, bangs this into the pitch, on middle. Abbas waits for it and pulls but fails to get the power on the shot. The ball flies straight to deep square leg where Babar Azam takes the catch. New Zealand finishes on 344/9! 344/9

45.3 OUT! TAKEN! Haris Rauf gets a wicket now! He cleverly takes pace off, full and on middle. Michael Bracewell plays a half-hearted flick shot but closes the bat face early. The ball takes the leading edge and goes high up in the air behind where Mohammad Rizwan settles under it and pouches it safely into his gloves. Pakistan needed this wicket here! 299/6

45.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Haris Rauf goes bang bang! He serves this full and around off. Mitchell Hay looks to drive it away from his body but only manages to get an outside edge behind where Mohammad Rizwan makes no mistake. New Zealand are seven down now! 299/7

46.4 OUT! TAKEN! Irfan Khan has three now! A slower one, full again and on middle. Nathan Smith gets across for a slog but goes through it a bit early and hits it from the upper half of his bat. He mistimes it badly as the ball goes in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Mohammad Wasim (Sub) comes forward and reverse cups it. Three wickets down for the Kiwis in quick succession! 306/8

15.4 OUT! TAKEN! The skipper turns up with the ball! Pre-meditated shot from Shafique! He comes down the track and Michael Bracewell just gives a bit of flight and slows it up, this is outside off, Shafique swings and skies it to cover where Daryl Mitchell takes a dolly. 88/2

12.4 OUT! TAKEN! Usman Khan holes out! End of a quick, fiery inning from him! Nathan Smith sticks to the plan and keeps bowling the short ball, this is on middle. Khan rocks back, clears his front leg and pulls, goes more off the slice to deep square leg where Jacob Duffy takes near the fence. Good catch. Much needed wicket for the hosts. 83/1

38.4 OUT! GONE! Finds the only fielder in the deep! Game changing moment? Just what New Zealand needed! Short in length and on middle, Azam stands tall and pulls, hits it flat but finds Daryl Mitchell at deep square leg who holds onto it just in front of the ropes. Are we in for a thriller now? 249/4

28.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A superb catch behind the stump! Muhammad Abbas can do no wrong in this game as he gets a maiden ODI wicket now. He banga this hard into thew pitch, on off. Mohammad Rizwan sways away and looks to ramp it but just fails to get the connection right. Mitchell Hay times his jump to perfection and plucks it out of thin air with his right hand. Rizwan departs and the budding partnership is broken now! 164/3

43.4 OUT! TAKEN! Jacob Duffy gets the main man! That is the final nail in the coffin for Pakistan! Fuller one and on off. Salman Agha tries to loft it down the ground but goes a bit too hard and loses his shape. He mistimes it in front of mid off where Michael Bracewell dives forward to take a superb catch with the ball dying on him. Agha walks back for 58 off 48, and New Zealand are just 1 wicket away from the win now. 271/9

39.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Tahir goes now! Pakistan losing its grip on the game! Length ball on off, Agha taps it on the off side and calls for a quick single. Tahir hesitates to cross but then rushes. Jacob Duffy runs forward, bends, collects and underarms at the keeper's end. The replay shows Tahir is well short. Out it is! 253/5

39.5 OUT! CHOPPED ON! The hard hitter Irfan Khan goes! Three wickets in the space of 8 balls! Short of a length and outside off. Khan looks to punch away from his body but gets a bottom edge back onto the stumps. Really unfortunate for him but Khan has to go. 253/6

42.2 OUT! TAKEN! Naseem Shah falls for a duck! Nathan Smith serves this fuller and on off. Shah looks to get it over mid off but fails to get underneath it and mistimes it. The ball lobs up straight to that fielder and Michael Bracewell takes an easy catch. Not what Pakistan needed at this moment. They are now 267/7, still needing 78 runs in 46 balls. 267/7

43 OUT! TAKEN! Double strike from Nathan Smith and Pakistan sink further down! Digs it short again and on middle and off. Haris Rauf makes room and looks to slap it down the ground but only gets a top edge. The ball goes high in the air towards mid-wicket where Henry Nicholls runs backwards a bit, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a fine catch. Pakistan eight down now! 269/8

44.1 OUT! TAKEN! Nathan Smith ends with a four-fer! A length ball on middle, Javed heaves, he gets more height than distance and Will O'Rourke at deep mid-wicket takes the skier comfortably. New Zealand win by 73 runs. 271/10
