PAK vs NZ Live Cricket Score

7.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Mohammad Wasim strikes in his first over and removes Finn Allen! Mohammad Wasim bangs this one short and outside off at 141.2 kph, Finn Allen tries to muscle this one through the off side but does not get the proper connection on it. Mishits this one uppishly towards Agha Salman who takes a good catch diving to his right. Pakistan will be relieved to see the back of Finn Allen. 37/2

1 OUT! BOWLED! Early success for Pakistan as Conway is dismissed for a golden duck. Shah delivers it fast and full, around leg, Devon Conway tries to work it on the leg side but misses. It clips the toe of his back leg, unluckily, and gets deflected onto the stumps. Naseem Shah is running in excitement and New Zealand suffer an early setback. Conway has been a consistent performer for them and this is a rare failure for him. 1/1

14.2 OUT! BOWLED! What a wicket to open your account in international cricket! A lovely delivery, it has been tossed up generously and lands a touch short around leg. Kane Williamson stands back inside the crease to defend it late but it spins away to beat the outside edge and goes on to clip the top of the off stump. Beauty from Usama and Mohammad Rizwan also flashes a smile. Completely bamboozled a batter of Kane's calibre. New Zealand will have to rebuild again. 69/3

26.5 OUT! TIMBER! Beauty from Nawaz! This is a top delivery by Mohammad Nawaz! Bowls this one slower and a touch fuller on middle and leg, Daryl Mitchell looks to defend this one by getting forward but gets beaten by the turn. The ball spins past the outside edge and crashes into the middle stump. A much-needed breakthrough for Pakistan. 125/4

31.3 OUT! Latham holes out! New Zealand lose another set batter and will have to rebuild. Usama sends across a short delivery around off, Latham quickly shifts his weight on the back foot and attempts to pull it across the line. But all he manages is a big top edge and the ball flies in front of the square on the leg side. Fakhar Zaman is stationed in the deep and he grabs the skier safely. Every time a partnership has blossomed for the Black Caps, Pakistan have successfully managed to nip it in the bud. 147/5

44 OUT! CAUGHT! Naseem gets the wicket of the dangerous batter. Hurls across a length ball around middle, Phillips stays back to heave it on the leg side but it takes the toe end of his bat. The ball towers towards mid off where Babar Azam takes a simple catch. A timely breakthrough for the home team as this partnership had the capacity to power New Zealand at the backend of the innings. 213/6

45.4 OUT! DRAGS IT ON! Naseem has his third. He delivers it on a shortish length around off, at 141 kph, Michael Bracewell steps back to smash it through the line but gets a thick inside edge onto the stumps. A big blow to the Black Caps as Bracewell was the set batter and he could have taken them to a score near 270-280. 220/7

49.3 OUT! CAUGHT! The slower one does the trick and Naseem gets his second ODI fifer. The young pacer does 'Sajda' to thank the Almighty. Fuller in length, around middle and leg at 102.1 kph, Mitchell Santner tries to go hard with his drive but is early with his shot. He ends up slicing it towards extra cover where Mohammad Nawaz makes no mistake. 251/9

45.5 OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! Naseem Shah bags his fourth wicket and is on a hat-trick. The crowd is jubilant. A terrific inswinging yorker, around off at 143.5 kph and tailing into the batter, Henry Shipley has no idea about it. He tries to dig it out but by the time his bat comes down, the ball has sneaked through and gone on to rattle the stumps. 220/8

22.5 OUT! TIMBER! Michael Bracewell bowls this one quicker and fuller at the stumps, the ball drifts in with the angle. Fakhar Zaman gets down on one knee to slog sweep this one on the leg side but misses it altogether. Ends up getting his woodwork rattled. A much-needed breakthrough for New Zealand as this partnership was taking the game away from them. They need to capitalize on this opening to make a comeback. 108/2

5.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The change in bowling has worked for New Zealand. Michael Bracewell delivers a slider, around middle and off, at 85.6 kph, Imam-ul-Haq steps down the track for a big shot over mid on but mistimes it badly off the inner portion of his bat. It flies straight into the hands of Henry Shipley inside the ring. A much-needed breakthrough for the Black Caps but they need to keep chipping away at the wickets to stay in the hunt. 30/1

36.3 OUT! STUMPED! Glenn Phillips perhaps senses the charge from the batter and slips a quicker one down the leg side. Babar is down the track, trying to wrist it on the leg side but misses. It probably brushes his pads and it's an excellent take from Latham. He grabs the ball and breaks the stumps in a flash. It's referred upstairs. The third umpire first checks for the edge which is absent. The side-on angle then finds Babar outside the crease. New Zealand have a big opening here. 88 needed off 81 balls. 168/3

45 OUT! CAUGHT! Tim Southee bangs it in short once again but takes the pace off this time, Haris Sohail looks to pull this one towards mid-wicket but does not get enough on it to clear the fielder in the deep. Mitchell Santner, at wide long on, reacts well and completes the catch diving forward. 232/4
