New Zealand (NZ) vs Pakistan (PAK) Highlights: Pakistan managed to get to 297 at Stumps on Day 1 after Azhar Ali 93 and Mohammad Rizwan's 61. Kyle Jamieson shone for New Zealand, picking up 5 key wickets in Christchurch.
12:24 IST: That's it from the First Day of this second Test. New Zealand would be a happy bunch of players as they have bundled out Pakistan for 297 and cometh Day 2 they would look to bat it out and wipe out the lead with minimal damage and then they would look to amass a lead. We will get to know how the day pans out on 4th January 2021. The action starts at 1100 local (2200 GMT). Till then, cheers and take care.
12:25 IST: New Zealand's bowling was spot on as they used just 5 bowlers. The stand out performer for them was Kyle Jamieson who went onto take his third Test 5-wicket haul. Boult and Southee bagged a couple of wickets too. Matt Henry coming back into the side was a bit wayward at the start. He later went onto make a comeback with the ball as he scalped an all-important wicket of Azhar Ali. A few dropped catches and a few edges not carrying summed up the day for New Zealand.
12:27 IST: Azhar Ali, though continued to hold the fort at one end as Pakistan skipper, Mohammad Rizwan joined hands with his number 3 batsman and started the rebuilding act. The duo soon started rotating the strike and soon went onto find the odd boundaries in the process but went past their respective fifties. They were going well with an 88-run stand when Rizwan departed. Azhar Ali despite fighting it hard all day for his runs, departed for 93. Faheem Ashraf once again proved his mettle with the bat when he smashed 48 runs and newcomer debutant Zafar Gohar smashed 34 runs.
12:30 IST: It all started with New Zealand winning the toss and putting Pakistan to bat. The visitors though did not start the way they would have liked as they lost Shan Masood for a duck. Then, a 62-run stand between Abid Ali and Azhar Ali revived their batting to some extent before Abid Ali departed. Soon after Haris Sohail, who has had a poor outing in the Test series so far followed him and Fawad Alam was the next one to depart.
12:31 IST: What a day of Test cricket we have had. Brilliant bowling, good batting and good lower-order resistance and to cap of the day, rain too paid a visit. New Zealand would be a bit happier as they have castled Pakistan for 297 runs.
