1.3 Gone! Around the wicket, fuller on off, looks to go up and over mid-off, but he can only manage to mistime to wide mid-off where Michael Bracewell takes a brilliant diving catch to his his right. Vital breakthrough for New Zealand as Saim Ayub perishes early in the piece once again, lots of talent but not putting a hefty price on his wicket 8/1

14.6 Stumps shattered, what a sight for Sears! It's deafening silence in the crowd. Snuffs out a terrific yorker and under the bat, smashing the middle stump, special delivery. Sears is absolutely pumped up, he loved that! 123/3

8.5 Helds a nifty low catch! Pakistan were cruising along and have lost wicket just at the wrong time, Usman prances down the track to manufacture his own length and spoons it to Michael Bracewell at extra cover, he looks despondent after that error of judgement, looked on-song today, missed out on an opportunity to score a big knock but a significant improvement but he put up a good exhibition of eye-catching shots 81/2

19.1 Sprawling catch from Mark Chapman at deep backward square, he went outside, tossed the ball in air, came back inside the ground and complete the catch with nifty footwork, very well-judged! It was a full-toss on middle 171/5

18.3 Holes out to long-on! He stayed deep in the crease and tonked the full toss through the line but he didn't get much elevation and distance, his weight pivoting on backfoot, wasn't able to generate the requisite force to clear the ropes 159/4

8.1 Just got a bit carried away! Slightly shorter and drifts in at middle and leg, he yanks his front foot away to slog that into the stands but lost his control, bottom-hand came off and he ends up dragging it back onto the stumps. Pakistan are over the moon; they've got the big fish! Will this open the floodgates? 81/2

0.5 Gottim with an absolute jaffa! It doesn't get better than that. Hits the hard length and gets it to slant away just a wee bit and enough to get it through the gate, pings the top of off as he goes for a wild swing over midwicket, arms aloft and Shaheen kisses the air in ecstasy, how often does he get Pakistan an early wicket? 5/1

11.3 And gone! Drops it a little short on middle, tries to lift it up and over midwicket but can only drag it to Babar Azam at short midwicket. Another prized scalp, spinners making a big impact in this game for Pakistan as New Zealand find themselves in a pickle; they need a partnership 97/4

10.6 Zingers are alight! Went too far away across his stumps for an ambitious sweep shot and Usama Mir zips it quicker on off-stump, he fails to connect and the ball rips through the stumps. That is a massive wicket in the context of the game! Chapman looks disconsolate after perishing early in the piece. Turning out to be a fabulous spell, producing magic tonight! 97/3

12.1 Extraordinary stuff from Imad Wasim! Gets wicket on the first delivery of his spell! Around the wicket, length delivery spins back markedly into middle and he didn't pick him, no bat involved. Review has been taken, clear daylight between bat and pad, raps the back pad, pitching outside off, umpire's call on impact and hitting wickets so that's that. He wanted to tee off and accelerate without wasting any time but he has to take the long walk back to the pavilion, New Zealand lose their third in just six balls 103/5

14.2 Backs away into the leg side and tries to crunch it up and over point, Shadab takes a sprawling catch above his head, it was a slowish back of a length ball at middle, he went for a difficult shot and it didn't come through, it hung in the air for a while as he didn't control his bat swing 125/6

14.3 Stumps askew! Demolishes him with a pinpoint accurate yorker from around the wicket and it's right in the blockhole, too good for thee. Two in two, Pakistan are in a strong position. He is so good at nailing those yorkers, it's a terrific option at this stage of the game. Foulkes attempted to flick that away to the leg side and imo should have just defended it with a straight bat 125/7

16.1 Trapped him lbw! Appealing for an lbw and given! Ball thunders into the front pad and the umpire didn't hesitate to raise the dreaded finger, tried to work it away off his pads and didn't account for the seam movement, looks plumb. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting leg stump so the original decision stands. 137/8

19 Terrible mix-up in the middle, Amir bowls a wide down the leg side and Sears wanted to bring Clarkson on strike, Clarkson was already inside the crease and Sears went for a belated attempt to run to the other end, knowing that every step was futile, Pakistan need one more wicket, New Zealand a few hits to win the series! 168/9

19.2 Pakistan hold their nerve and get over the line. Amir bowls it full on middle and off, he spanks it down the ground towards long-on and the second was never on, Amir collects the throw calmly and whips off the bails. Pakistan win by 9 nine runs! Another enthralling contest that could've gone either way Shadab kept his cool and his throw was spot on, Amir collected it on one bounce and W O'Rourke was well short of his crease 169/10
