Conway run out (Shadab) 21 (NZ 38-2)
Gone! The perfect end to the powerplay for Pakistan.
More a brilliant piece of fielding than a bad run. Conway set off straight away, dabbing the ball to mid-on, but Shadab had other ideas.
The crowd has well and truly come to life.

Now then!
Devon Conway called his captain through for a quick single, but a brilliant swooping pick up and throw from Shadab Khan ends in a direct hit.
It looks close.

No Finn Allen fireworks tonight.

Well, that answers my question.
Devon Conway skips down the pitch and smashes Haris Rauf up and over cover for four. So good.

Another boundary-less over as Mohammad Wasim keeps things tight for Pakistan.
When will New Zealand kick on?

Kane's in now, Shaheen. Normal service is resumed.

Williamson digs out a yorker from Haris Rauf from the last ball of the over and there's a nice contest heating up here.
New Zealand are battling hard, Pakistan giving little away.

Kane Williamson isn't happy as two guys just casually take a stroll in front of the sight screen literally as he is playing the ball.
He waves his arms in frustration which is probably the angriest we've ever seen him, in fairness.

A quiet over? Do my eyes deceive me?
Just five from it. Cheers, guys.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorBuckle up everyone. This is going to be quite the couple of days.
I've already had a wardrobe malfunction in the excitement. As I leapt up I split my trousers. Not ideal.
They are my favourite jeans as well.

It's so reassuring watching Kane Williamson bat. Even when he's not timing it, it just makes you feel like everything's going to be alright in the world.
He chips one over cover for three.

Oh, Devon Conway. You lucky, lucky man.
He defends one that just trickles under the bat and past his stumps by a millimetre, before thumping the last ball of the over down the ground for four.
It's all happening.

And Devon Conway eases the pressure immediately with four through square leg.
Class.
