Pak 19-1 (3 ovs) vs NZ 237-6 | Scorecard
Trent Boult to open the bowling for New Zealand, who will be looking for a few early wickets.
The first ball is right on the mark as Imam-ul-Haq gets an inside edge on to the pads trying to defend.
He then blocks the next two balls before trying to run it down to thirdman as the fielder at second slip makes a good stop before Imam pulls the last ball for a four to get off the mark.
Matt Henry to bowl from the other end. Fakhar Zaman gets off the mark in confident fashion as he drills a half-volley through the covers for a four.
Zaman picks one off the fourth ball before Imam hits a straight drive off an overpitched delivery for another four before clipping the last ball to square leg for two runs, to get 11 from the over.
This is some start from Pakistan. Boult bowls it wide aiming to get some swing as Zaman hits it through the covers for a four before the left-hander is beaten a few balls later by the incoming delivery.
Boult then makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Zaman, who looks to flick it through midwicket but gets a leading edge and is caught on the off-side for nine.
