124.4 to Azhar Ali, beauty! That was turn, and quick turn. It was angled in flat and he went back to defend. It pitched outside leg and turned past his outside edge to hit top of off. He probably shouldn't have played back to it. He played the trajectory rather than the length.. 373/3

52.6 to Mohammad Hafeez, got him! That might have been the slower ball, on middle stump. Yup, he rolled his fingers over it. He pushed his hands at it initially and then checked himself, and all he could do in the end was pop a return catch to Anderson, which he takes easily over his head, leaping in the air. 178/1
115.4 to Ahmed Shehzad, That's the second wicket finally, but Shehzad's in a lot of pain. It's another bouncer, he goes for the hook and he's through his shot too quickly. It his the side of his helmet, which jars into his head. He falls down and drops his bat, which hits the stumps. He's still down, and the physios have come onto the field. He looks a little dazed, but there's no visible external damage. He's holding his jaw as he walks off the field, to an enthusiastic ovation from the crowd. That was 135.3kph, significantly quicker than the rest of this over.. 347/2

18.3 to KS Williamson, bowled him! What a way to go! It's a blockhole delivery outside the line, and he jams his bat down on it, and it bounced back towards the stumps. Williamson looked to swat it away with his bat but couldn't get there before the ball had hit the base of middle stump. 38/2
42.6 to CJ Anderson, chopped it on! It was short outside off, and he went hard at it with an angled bat, and inside-edged it onto his stumps. Not wide enough to cut, poor shot. 130/4
72.4 to TWM Latham, given! Latham has reviewed, but it looked close. After two balls that left Latham, he bowls the inswinging yorker. It hits his front pad on the full, and his head falls over as he looks to work it leg side. Is it swerving too much and missing leg stump? It's clipping the outside of leg stump, quite low, and the umpire gave that out so his decision will stand. End of an excellent innings from Tom Latham. We'll be seeing a lot more of him in the future.. 215/6
74.5 to TG Southee, this time he gets him. It's a similar delivery, a little closer to off, and Southee goes after it with no footwork. The line of the ball made it easier for Sarfraz, didn't have to dive this time and it came to him at waist height. 219/8
1122902.63545001
27.357932.871258000
17.2 to BB McCullum, got him! Turns it away sharply and gets it to straighten outside off, and McCullum pushes at it with hard hands, goes low to Younis at slip and McCullum is standing his ground. They're checking whether Younis took the catch cleanly. It looks like it carried, and he took it very well, with both hands under the ball. 33/1
21.2 to LRPL Taylor, gone! Angled in from wide of the crease and Taylor defended with hard hands. It turned away and he got a thick edge that Shafiq did very well to catch, diving to his left from gully. Taylor's bat came down curtain-rail style. 47/3
87.3 to BJ Watling, given! goes for the sweep from outside off, and the ball slides on and hits him on the back thigh. Loud appeal, and the umpire didn't take long to give him out. Watling's reviewed, but he looks dead and buried here. hit him in front of the inside of off stump and is hitting the inside of leg stump. Up goes the umpire's finger once more.. 262/10
1516014.00618000
51.5 to JDS Neesham, gone! That was unwise from Neesham. Charged down the track and went for the big hit over the top. It went with the angle, beat his inside edge, and Sarfraz completes an easy stumping. 150/5
1716513.82668000
86.6 to IS Sodhi, makes the same mistake twice in a row and Yasir gets his man. Again he went on the back foot, playing the trajectory rather than the length, and it's the googly this time, not too much turn but he still cramped him and he chopped it onto his stumps, looking to cut. 262/9

18.4 to Azhar Ali, given! Azhar goes for the sweep, wasn't full enough for it. It straightened from off stump and hit him on the front pad. Umpire immediately gave it out, and Azhar didn't review. 69/1
34.2 to Younis Khan, goes for the sweep again, straightens from off stump and hits him on the front pad. Very similar to the Azhar Ali dismissal, and the umpire gives it out. Younis reviews. He's a long way forward, and the ball turned a touch more than the Azhar dismissal. That one was hitting in line and hitting a big chunk of off stump. This one, it's umpire's call on both counts, and only clipping the outside of off stump, but the result is the same and the batsman has to walk back.. 139/2

30.2 to JDS Neesham, gone! Came haflway forward to a length ball outside off and poked at it away from his body as it moved away late off the pitch, after shaping in in the air. Got a thin edge through to Sarfraz. 112/5
30.3 to BJ Watling, bowled him! It was sliding down the leg side and he looked to clip it away into the leg side. Didn't connect with the bat but it hit the underside of his bulging thigh pad and deflected onto the stumps. 112/6
10.313723.52476000
34.1 to CJ Anderson, and he strikes first ball! That was angled across the left-hander and he shouldered arms, only to see it swing back in and strike his back pad in front of middle and off. Given out immediately, but Hawkeye says it was pitching marginally outside leg stump. 121/7
70.3 to IS Sodhi, Imran might just have done it! It's full, and he's struck on the pad as he's halfway forward. Given out and New Zealand have reviewed. It struck him below the knee roll in front of middle stump. Is the angle taking it down the leg side? Big angle in, but it's clipping leg stump according to Hawkeye. The decision stands, and Pakistan have won a massive win.. 231/10
2464822.001185000
13.1 to TWM Latham, taken! Latham shapes to sweep out of the rough and picks the wrong length for it. It's shorter than he would like and he ends up having to sweep from waist height. Gets a top edge and Yasir Shah runs in from deep backward square leg to take an excellent catch diving forward. 57/1
39.1 to TG Southee, bowled him. That was angled in towards off and Southee looked to play it with the angle towards midwicket. It turned away past the closed bat-face and hit the top of middle and off.. 138/8
1817434.11769100
14.5 to BB McCullum, that is gone, and McCullum walked before the umpire raised his finger. It was the googly, and it kept low and struck him on the front pad in front of middle stump as he went back and tried to hurriedly work it across the line. Superb bowling from Yasir. 61/2
16.4 to LRPL Taylor, given! And that looked pretty plumb. Taylor consults with Williamson, decides against reviewing. He was halfway forward to defend and the ball went with the angle and hit him on the front pad, in front of middle stump. No doubt about that.. 69/3
55.2 to MD Craig, bowled him! Yasir loops the ball into the left-hander from round the wicket, pitching outside off and spinning though the gap between Craig's forward push and his pad to hit the stumps. Pakistan have not had to wait long at all today. 177/9
702113.00312000
29.5 to KS Williamson, got him, and that was a lovely delivery! He came down the track and Hafeez floated it across him. He looked to defend, playing for the spin, and it carried on with the angle past his outside edge and Sarfraz was left with the easiest of stumpings to make, with Williamson stranded halfway down the pitch. 111/4
