2.53pm Right then. This has been a long innings, and a tough innings as well, from Pakistan's perspective. They really are under the pump. This is a huge total - a record at the Basin Reserve - so that naturally means Pakistan have to pull off a record chase at this ground. That's quite the task, especially against the new-ball might from Trent Boult and Tim Southee. With how strong the wind is, who knows how much swing they will find? We have a short turnaround of 30 minutes. Catch you in a bit for the chase.

Mohammad Amir to Southee, FOUR, brilliant. Top shot to end the innings. Walks across early enough, almost telegraphs it. Amit adjusts poorly. Fires it full and across him and Southee simply helps it on its way to fine leg

Southee to face the last ball

Mohammad Amir to Santner, OUT, Santner hits this pull in the direction of the breeze but he has holed out to cow corner. Gets on top of the bounce nicely and even makes pretty good connection. But probably not as well-middled we he would have liked. Smart take by Raees

Mohammad Amir to Santner, no run, tries to pull a short ball but gets severely tucked up as the bowler's angle follows him and he gets a bottom edge to the keeper

Mohammad Amir to Santner, FOUR, full and angling into leg-stump. It's almost a yorker but Santnet brilliantly moves away and gets underneath before drilling it through the region between midwicket and mid-on

Mohammad Amir to Southee, 1 run, length ball, tries to swat it away and skews it off the toe end into the off side

Saad: "Watching the match live, the commentators need someone who can speak Urdu, as Sarfaraz is saying some pretty smart and funny things to his bowlers and fielders. I'm definitely entertained "

Mohammad Amir to Southee, no run, wide yorker, well-bowled. Southee jams the bat down and can't manage any contact

Amir to bowl the last over. He needs to restrict them here. Already too many runs.
