- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.6 edged and gone. Nicely fired in the channel outside off, getting him to reach out. Worker falls for it and sticks the bat out and gets done in by extra bounce as the ball goes off the edge to the keeper 13/17.4 Munro has reviewed an lbw call. Beautiful delivery from Afridi. A slower one that completely cut him in half. Beats the inside edge on his half-forward push and pings him in front of leg. The angle's sharp but straight enough to crash into leg. Wickets hitting. Review lost 36/216.5 What have you done, Kane? Rank half-tracker, 90ks, breaks away outside off, that deserved to be tonked out of the ground. Instead, Williamson pulls it straight into the lap of short midwicket. Lucky break for Shadab in his first over 78/342.3 gone.. this rush of wickets could just be the turning point of the game. And this is the set Taylor. An inside edge again. Imad nicely floats it up outside off, Taylor comes forward and drills at it but the ball dips prodigiously and takes an under edge before clattering into the stumps 210/741.2 huge appeal for lbw, and given. Seemed like there might've been an inside edge but Latham walks off. Flighted on middle, latham tries to flick and plays all over it as the ball beats the inside edge and pins him in front 208/441.3 this one looks close as well, and given. Back-to-back strikes from Shadab. Drawing Henry forward with a fuller length, flatter than the last one. Dips and curves into him to hit him in front of middle and leg. Caught in the crease 208/541.5 gone next ball. Shadab on a roll, three wickets in four balls. This is a traditional loopy legbreak, floated up outside off, and getting de Grandhomme to push at it away from the body, gets an outside edge that settles low into first slip's hands 208/648.5 picks out Junaid in the deep. A pick-up shot off the pads, length ball, whips it behind square and Junaid holds on to his left in front of the backward square leg boundary 254/948.3 taken at mid-off. But Sodhi has added some useful late runs here. Slower ball, the off-cutter, chipped into the air off the toe-end as Sodhi backs away to heave it over 252/8Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL266/9 (50 Overs, RR: 5.32)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (George Worker, 3.6 ov), 2-36 (Colin Munro, 7.4 ov), 3-78 (Kane Williamson, 16.5 ov), 4-208 (Tom Latham, 41.2 ov), 5-208 (Henry Nicholls, 41.3 ov), 6-208 (Colin de Grandhomme, 41.5 ov), 7-210 (Ross Taylor, 42.3 ov), 8-252 (Ish Sodhi, 48.3 ov), 9-254 (Tim Southee, 48.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR16.3 gone! Caught at midwicket. Short ball pays off. Fetches a pull from too far across and chips it in the air, dragged off the toe end to de Grandhomme. Loose shot outside off 71/42.2 Boult angles a back-of-a-length ball into the pads of Zaman. He loses his shape, swings to the leg side, does not make contact with the bat. The ball homes in, grazes the pad, and disturbs the stumps. The plan to Fakhar was clear: cramp him for room. Boult has executed it to perfection 8/12.3 Boult and the wicketkeeper think they have their man! Umpires Raza and Wilson converge and refer it to the TV umpire. Boult nails a wide yorker, Azam hangs back, jabs his bat down. Did the ball bounce before carrying it to Taylor at first slip? Replays suggest that it did not bounce and flew to first slip. Outstanding chest-high grab from Taylor to go with his half-century. He ultimately hangs onto the ball on the rebound. Ahoy, two in two for Boult 8/22.4 Boult, you beauty! In his first match of the tour, new-dad Boult bags a hat-trick. Good length, swings back in just enough at 141ks, catches Hafeez in the crease, hits the front pad on the knee-roll. Pitching in line, impact in line, and hitting leg stump. Hafeez reviews in vain. Boult becomes the third New Zealander after Morrison and Bond to claim a hat-trick in ODIs. After Taylor seemed to publicly question the legality of his bowling action, Hafeez gets trapped for a first-ball duck. Rather subdued celebrations from Boult. He looks skywards and is embraced by his new-ball partner and friend Tim Southee 8/317.3 this is awful, awful batting. And it's Shoaib Malik, with all his experience. He has bailed Pakistan out on many an occasion, but not today. Advances down the ground and backs himself to go over mid-off. Nowhere close to doing so. Chips a face-high catch to Williamson at mid-off who grabs it reverse-cupped. Just not the kind of batting Pakistan need at the moment 73/540.6 What a riposte from de Grandhomme! Off-stump yorker from de Grandhomme, Sarfraz jabs his bat down and deflects it back onto the stumps. He slams his bat on the turf and drags himself off the field. Is that the game? 188/722.1 Horrid call from umpire Wilson and Hafeez had already burnt Pakistan's review. Top ball, though, Tossed up deliciously, drifts in at off, and breaks away sharply outside off. Shadab does not read it and plays inside and there's a daylight between bat and ball. There was a noise - came from bat jamming the ground. Poor, poor call from Wilson. Proper howler. Coach Arthur isn't impressed 85/646.5 De Grandhomme throws himself to his right from backward point and catches this with both hands. Top work from him. Full-toss on middle, ramped away. It seemed to travel towards the boundary... until de Grandhomme swooped in. This chase is all but over for Pakistan 219/847.1 slower legcutter outside off, Ali goes after it. He gets more height as opposed to distance. Holes out to Boult at the edge of the boundary. Taken at long-on 219/947.2 Ferguson wraps it up with a pinpoint middle-stump yorker. Afridi swings and misses. Ferguson hits his target and the celebrations begin in the NZ camp 219/10Extras17 (lb 4, nb 1, w 12)TOTAL219 all out (47.2 Overs, RR: 4.62)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Fakhar Zaman, 2.2 ov), 2-8 (Babar Azam, 2.3 ov), 3-8 (Mohammad Hafeez, 2.4 ov), 4-71 (Imam-ul-Haq, 16.3 ov), 5-73 (Shoaib Malik, 17.3 ov), 6-85 (Shadab Khan, 22.1 ov), 7-188 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 40.6 ov), 8-219 (Imad Wasim, 46.5 ov), 9-219 (Hasan Ali, 47.1 ov), 10-219 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 47.2 ov)
