Pak 183-3 (40 ovs) vs NZ 237-6 | Scorecard

A desperate New Zealand bring back Boult. Sohail clips the first ball to deep square leg for a single and Azam gets the next to fine leg for one.

Sohail then lofts Boult back over his head for a six followed by two dot balls as Pakistan gain the upperhand in this tight run chase.

Williamson continues despite going for runs in his previous over. Three singles from five balls before Sohail drills the last ball through the covers for a four.

Santner is back into the attack and this could be the last throw of the dice s far as New Zealand is concerned.

Azam picks a single on the off-side before Sohail is beaten by some sharp turn as it goes down the leg side and the appeal for stumping is dismissed.

Sohail then taps a short ball into the covers for a single and Guptill in the covers lets a drive from Azam go through to concede two runs.

Pakistan in control on 183 for three in 40 overs, with another 55 needed for victory from 10 overs.

Azam has played well to stroke 78 from 100 balls, while Sohail has stroked 40 from 51 balls, with the duo putting on 73 from 91 balls so far for the fourth wicket.
