Kevin: "Conway, Williamson, Santner, and extras. Only ones to hit double digits for NZ."

Mohammad Nawaz speaks after his four-for: "It was turning from the start, but they were playing well. I was looking for the wickets... A little bit slow was helping. There was bounce as well. Some I tried into the pitch, like how Mitchell got out. [The chase] should be easy. The pitch is tricky, the ball is turning."

Ubaid Ul Rahman: "Last 20 Overs 78/9"

6.29pm From sitting in a position of command, to one of only some satisfaction. A score of 183 for 1 in the 30th over becomes 261 all out in the end. Conway hit 101 and Williamson got 85; and other than them, only Santner reached double figures. The pitch seemed to have slowed down as the game progressed, with some turn and bounce available too, as Nawaz showed in dismissing Mitchell, Latham and Williamson. But thanks to Santner's handy 37, Pakistan will have 262 to chase. Deiva will be here very soon to get that going.

Naseem Shah to Santner, 1 run, OUT, full and straight. Drilled to long-off, and they rush back for a second. But, but... Santner is run-out at the striker's end. The umpire gives it out right away, even as Santner dived back to try and complete an improbable second. The throw from Wasim came right close to the stumps, with Rizwan's gloves waiting. Santner was way short in the end

MJ Santner run out 37 (62m 40b 1x4 1x6) SR: 92.50

Jamie: "Santner has clawed them up to a respectable score here, at least this is something to bowl at."

Naseem Shah to Santner, no run, ah, nice bowling. Foxes him with a slower bouncer, getting it to angle away and end high above off. Santner thought of a poke, but let it be

Naseem Shah to Santner, 2 runs, misfield by short third - Imam the fielder there - and that allows two. Very full and outside off from Naseem, as Santner squeezed his bat at that. Two runs for free there

Naseem Shah to Santner, 2 runs, now bangs it in short on leg, as he backs away again and pulls to deep midwicket. Two rapid runs there

Naseem Shah to Santner, SIX, flung over long-on! Valuable runs for New Zealand in the death overs. A back-of-the-hand slower ball on a length around leg, as he made room and launched at it
