Player Of The Match
  • 49.6

    Haris Rauf to Tom Latham. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump backing away pulling, in the air under control to fine leg for 3 runs, mis-fielded by Shah, fielded by Ahmed. After a positive start, New Zealand lost two key wickets in no time. Things took a turn for the worse when Daryl Mitchell unfortunately gifted away his wicket, leaving the team in a precarious position, but Will Young and Tom Latham reconstructed the innings with a valuable partnership, both registering centuries. With a scintillating knock at the back end, Glenn Philips has added confidence to New Zealand's chances. Will Pakistan's batters step up to chase the target? Join us for the live-action after the break.
