NZ 237-6 (50 ovs) vs Pak | Scorecard

Jimmy Neesham's unbeaten 97 rallied New Zealand after a horror start as they posted a competitive 237 for six, against Pakistan in Birmingham.

Electing to bat, New Zealand were left reeling on 46 for four in the 13th over, with courtesy of Shaheen Afridi, who took 3/28 in 10 overs.

Neesham then steadied the ship in company of his captain Kane Williamson, who made 41, before he was caught behind off Shadab Khan.

He then got the innings back on track, adding 132 runs for the sixth wicket with Colin de Grandhomme, who played a sensible innings of 64 from 71 balls.

New Zealand made a good recovering, scoring 85 runs from the last 10 overs for the loss of one wicket.
