15:16 Local Time, 02:16 GMT, 07:46 IST: Pakistan started well, had New Zealand in some trouble by reducing them to 50 for 3 and then let the hosts recover. 344 it is and the hosts will be thankful for Mark Chapman's career-best 132, an innings which first helped them recover and then helped the hosts boss over the bowling attack. Having chosen to go in with 4 specialist pacers and no spinners, Pakistan's gamble backfired with the 5th bowling options conceding a massive 118 runs. The 4th wicket stand was itself worth 198 runs with Daryl Mitchell offering solid support with his 76. The tourists did show signs of comeback after the partnership was broken, but Mohmmad Abbas's 24-ball half-century put the icing on the cake. Pakistan's fielding was laborious and the bowling increasingly ragged as they conceded a whopping 43 extras. Can they chase down 344? Back shortly for the reply..
