  1. Not out

    Confirmation that Neesham is not out.

  2. Jimmy Neesham has hit the ground with his bat, missed the ball altogether.

  3. Natalie Germanos

    I think there was a second sound of a bounce here.

  4. Umpire review

    Sarfaraz is claiming a catch behind but it looked and sounded like a bump ball. The umpires are checking upstairs...

  6. NZ 173-5

    Pakistan need a wicket here. The momentum is definitely with the men in black. Shaheen is in his final over...

  7. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    New Zealand have scored at exactly a run a ball in the last 13 overs.

  8. Natalie Germanos
    BBC Test Match Special

    What a beautiful stroke!

  9. NZ 172-5

    Shot! Colin leans back and drives a full ball over the covers for four! A bit more pressure is relieved.

  10. NZ 167-5

    A definite innings of two halves. New Zealand are recovering/regenerating withe every ball that passes.

  11. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    If New Zealand can go along at six or seven for the last eight overs and give themselves another 60 runs then they'll feel like they've got something to bowl at.

    Pakistan got ahead of themselves when they got Williamson out, thinking they'd done the hard work. Anyone who has watched CdGH knows he is a dangerous batsman & Neesham is solid.

  13. NZ 166-5

    Shot Jimmy Neesham! Flicking a leg-sided ball for four down to fine leg. Shaheen lost control of his leg cutter there. There are 11 off the over...

  14. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    If New Zealand can get up to 200 they'll feel like they've slipped out of really bad territory.

    This is where Mickey Arthur is behind the rest of the coaches in cricket, at five wickets down we should have bought on Amir straight away for a few overs.

  16. NZ 159-5

    De Grandhomme 40, Neesham 55

    A misfield from Babar Azam allows New Zealand three, not great. A reminder that New Zealand were 83-5 when these two came together.

  17. Shaheen time. He has two overs left and has 3-13. Ridiculous.

  18. NZ 155-5

    Neesham comes down the pitch to Shadab, who sees him coming and pushes it wide, almost inducing a stumping chance. Very solid over from Pakistan, just three from it.

  19. Ten overs left. Stick another 100 on this score and it suddenly looks very tasty indeed. Big Colin is still there and he'll be looking for more like this...

  20. Ramiz Raja
    Ex-Pakistan captain on TMS

    It has been a tough gig. You've got to be mentally strong. New Zealand needed Jimmy Neesham to perform and he has.
