    Asif Ali has called for the physio again, with two sub fielders bringing him some water.

    That hit to the helmet was horrible, and it's correct that all the right precautions are taken.

  2. Pak 127-5published at 18.1 overs

    Single.

    Eight from 11.

    Your best bowler always has to bowl the 19th to take the game as deep as possible.

    Been a cracking chase, this.

    Trent Boult will bowl the penultimate over.

  5. Pak 126-5published at 18 overs

    Ends with a dot.

    Pakistan need nine from 12!

    Asif Ali needs to use his common sense here. He needs to be there at the end with Malik - it's been a good over, he doesn't need to take any unnecessary risks.

  7. Pak 126-5published at 17.5 overs

    Brilliant running turns this into two...

  8. Pak 124-5published at 17.4 overs

    The Mitchell Santner gamble has not paid off...

    Shaoib Malik is a giant against spin and he's proving it.

  10. 6 runs

    Pak 123-5published at 17.3 overs

    HUGE SIX!

    Pakistan need 12 from 15...

  11. Pak 117-5published at 17.2 overs

    Good running, and that's two more...

    I'd have thought New Zealand would close things up with pace. Malik is such a good player of spin so this is a big, big over.

    You cannot bowl short to Shaoib Malik. That is a huge shot for Pakistan.

  14. Pak 115-5published at 17.1 overs

    Need 20 from 17 balls

    Mitchell Santner returns, and his first delivery is short and loopy and walloped for four by Shoaib Malik!

    Asif Ali is, thankfully, OK to continue.

    Asif Ali takes a long drink of water as the physio goes over the final checks.

    His head just jerked backwards really nastily there. It's off the top edge, which will make the impact harder.

  18. Postpublished at 18:14 British Summer Time 26 October 2021

    In fact, he's top edged that into his grille. Horrible.

    Thankfully, he's up and moving. The physio is out for the concussion test.

  19. ouch!

    Pak 111-5published at 17 overs

    Short, Asif tries to pull, misses, and that looks horrible.

    He gets hit in the side of the helmet and Southee and two New Zealand players come straight over to see if he's OK.

  20. Pak 111-5published at 16.5 overs

    Huge swing and a miss from Asif Ali.
