Player of Match: Hasan Nawaz

Pakistan keep the series alive with a brilliant chase. Two more games to go in this series and the next game is day after (23rd). Do join us then for that one. That's it for now from here. Bye.
Salman Ali Agha | Pakistan captain: Outstanding performance. Proper game we have played, the bowlers started really well and then the two youngsters batted really well. If you back the youngsters they will do well like today. 200 is a par score on this, good wicket and I just said to the guys we can chase this down if you bat well. The bowlers did really well, restricting them to 200 was a very good effort from the bowlers and I'm very happy. It was do or die and we just wanted to go out and enjoy ourselves today. Looking forward to the next game as well.
Michael Bracewell | New Zealand captain: Disappointed with the result. Tip your hat off to Nawaz, he was unbelievable. Pretty hard to defend here tonight, credit to him but pretty disappointed. We did not bat the full 20 overs, which is criminal in T20s. You got to tidy up, conditions change and you had to deal with it. (on Chapman) He batted beautifully, when he got out, we had to take stock for a couple of overs, when you put a score of 230 on the board, things have to go their way, we were 15 short.
Hasan Nawaz | Player of the Match (translated from Urdu by Salman Agha): I was disheartened with the way I got out in the first two games but the captain and Shadab Khan backed me to play my natural game. The only thing on my mind was to get a single first and I relaxed after getting that first run in international cricket.
Hasan Nawaz: I was disheartened with the way I got out in the first two games but the captain and the management backed me, backed me to play my natural game. The only thing on my mind was to get a single first and I relaxed after getting that first run in international cricket.
22:21 Local Time, 09:21 GMT, 14:51 IST: Sensational chase this from Pakistan. They have done this in a canter with four overs to spare. Must say the tiny Eden Park ground helped them massively which saw dew as well.
