NZ have remain unscathed after lunch. They have added 42 runs in 18 overs and have managed to keep NZ in the game. Skipper KW has held one end up and has found Watling to be his man friday so far. Their association will determine the fate of NZ for day 1. 

 Newzealand vs pakistan Time for tea, folks! Kiwis did not lose a single wicket and have added 72 runs from 32 overs. Attritional cricket at its best. KW has been solid as a rock and Watling has done well to imitate his skipper’s actions. They have played chanceless cricket on a wicket which does not seem to have too many devils in it. Another session of trial by spin and retest of the new ball remains for the Kiwis? Can they pass that with distinction? 

Williamson is on 70(154).  And WATLING is on 15(99).

THE THIRD SESSION WILL START SOON.
