19.4

OUT! Caught. Colin Munro to Babar Azam. Length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Bruce. Goes again, but the connection isn't as good this time. Off the toe end of the bat, and looped down to long on for a simple grab.

So, Pakistan cannot bat through their 20 overs. Not a good effort from the visitors. They went hard at the top, which clearly didn't work, and they never really recovered. If it wasn't for Babar or Hasan Ali, they would've struggled to make 75. Southee and Rance the pick of the bowlers, and they have set the game up for their batsmen to chase this one down easily. Should be a simple task for the Kiwis to go 1-0 up in the series. Find out after a short break if they can do that.
19.3

SIX! Colin Munro to Babar Azam. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. In the arc, Babar gets the front leg out the way, and launches over the long on boundary for a maximum. Pakistan get to three figures!
19.2

Colin Munro to Babar Azam. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump moves in front driving, mis-timed to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Bruce, mis-fielded by Phillips.
19.1

FOUR! Colin Munro to Babar Azam. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed past deep backward point for 4 runs. The part-timer of Munro comes on to bowl the final over, and it give the opportunity for Babar to go big. Loads of width on offer, and he slashes it through backward point for four.
18.6

Seth Rance to Babar Azam. Full toss, middle stump on the front foot flick, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Santner.
18.5

18.4

OUT! Caught. Seth Rance to Mohammad Amir. Short, down leg side backing away pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, by Southee. Nine down. Bouncer from Rance, cramping Amir for room. The tailender has a swipe, and it comes high off the bat to loop up to Southee for the catch. Will they be able to bat out the 20 overs?

16.4

OUT! Caught. Seth Rance to Hasan Ali. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover, by Southee. It was never going to last, but Hasan Ali made a good little cameo there. Went hard once more, it was in the slot to go big, but this is completely mis-hit. Skied straight up, Southee settles under it, and pouches with ease.
16.3

SIX! Seth Rance to Hasan Ali. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Six more! Terrific late-order hitting from Hasan Ali. Clubbed over wide long on, and he has enough power to creep the ball over the boundary.

15.6

Wide Hasan Ali to Ross Taylor. Bouncer, outside off stump ducked, Left to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Ahmed.

New Zealand end up getting home at a canter. Pakistan never got enough runs on the board, and it was always going to be difficult for their bowlers to defend 105. They made things interesting with two early wickets, but Colin Munro turned on the heat to give the Kiwis the victory with 25 balls to spare. Another win for the hosts, they cannot stop winning at the moment. They have the chance to wrap up this series if they can come out on top on Thursday.
15.5

FOUR! Hasan Ali to Ross Taylor. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Three in a row from Taylor. Exquisite extra cover drive that pierces the infield, and it skips away to the boundary for four.
15.4

FOUR! Hasan Ali to Ross Taylor. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Pounces onto the short delivery, and swats it in front of square for four. Superb shot.
15.3

FOUR! Hasan Ali to Ross Taylor. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Ugly, but effective from Taylor. A big shank across the line, but he strikes it well and picks the gap for four.

Shadab Khan to Colin Munro. Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control to deep mid wicket for 1 run, dropped catch by Amin. An incredible effort from Umar in the deep. He saved five runs really. Hacked out to him at mid wicket, he uses all his jump to reach the ball, but cannot hang on.

SIX! Rumman Raees to Colin Munro. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs.

12.4

FOUR! Mohammad Nawaz to Colin Munro. Stock ball short, middle stump backing away cutting, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Too easy when it is that short. Munro jumps outside leg stump, and flat-bats it over cover for four.
