    You couldn't ask for a better over going into the backend of the innings. He just bowled full, fast and straight. Haris Rauf has been brilliant.

    Pakistan's fielding has been really good and energetic. They are not allowing any opportunities for the second run.

  4. NZ 100-4published at 15 overs

    Excellent over from Haris Rauf, just five singles taken from it. The Pakistan fans are having a great time in the crowd, lots of dancing going on.

    Five overs left. What can New Zealand do from here?

    New Zealand will want to go at 10 an over for the last six overs, but as an absolute minimum get up to 145-150.

  6. NZ 95-4published at 14 overs

    Just a single for Phillips from the free hit as he can't make the most of it.

    That's still a very good over - four runs and the wicket from it.

  7. NZ 93-4published at 13.4 overs

    I speak too soon. Hasan Ali bowls a big no-ball and it's a free hit.

  8. NZ 93-4published at 13.4 overs

    The momentum shifts yet again. The joys of T20 cricket!

    Hasan Ali has a spring in his step having completed that run out and New Zealand look slightly more frantic.

    Glenn Phillips is the new batter. To put it simply, he absolutely whacks it. If he can get going, Pakistan could be in trouble.

    A direct hit always means there millimetres in it. That will break the momentum that New Zealand had gained in recent overs.

    Williamson run out Hasan Ali 25 (NZ 90-4)

    Huge wicket!

    Kane Williamson goes for a sharp single, Conway sends him back and Hasan Ali - in his follow through - pounces on the ball and throws down the stumps.

    He took a while to complete the throw but it's great awareness.

    Hassan Ali took a while to throw the ball then.

    Has Kane Williamson been run out?! From that calamity in the final over, this is a lovely piece of work. It looks close.

    The momentum and energy out there has all shifted all of a sudden.

  15. NZ 90-3published at 13 overs

    Cricket is mad, isn't it?

    The next two balls are hit for four by Devon Conway after that misfield and the over costs 15.

    The game has completely swung to New Zealand since that Kane Williamson lbw review.

    That is horrible fielding. It is in front of the Pakistan fans and they were look massively unimpressed.

  17. NZ 82-3published at 12.4 overs

    Oh, that is so village.

    Devon Conway sweeps to the boundary, it's a very simple piece of fielding for Asif Ali to do but he is nutmegged and the ball reaches the boundary.

    Every Pakistan player has a double teapot going on.

  18. NZ 75-3published at 12 overs

    A single off the final ball means Williamson keeps the strike. He now has a run-a-ball 24 after a slow start.

  19. 6 runs

    NZ 74-3published at 11.5 overs

    And now he channels his inner Rishabh Pant to smash a one handed six straight down the ground! He didn't get hold of it, but he won't mind.

    Has that review given him a new lease of life?!

  20. NZ 68-3published at 11.4 overs

    Never one to get flustered, Williamson smashes his next ball for four.
