19.6
Faheem Ashraf to Santner, no run, Pakistan win by 18 runs. Look at Sarfraz go. He is yelling and shouting. He's ecstatic. "Looks like he wants to punch someone," quips Waqar Younis. Pakistan form a huddle and Sarfraz has a few words with them. Ashraf pings the yorker and Santner can only dig it back down the wicket
19.5
Faheem Ashraf to Santner, FOUR, slower delivery outside off, Santner throws the kitchen sink at that and the outside edge flies over short third man, races away to the fence
19.4
Faheem Ashraf to Santner, SIX, Santner playing some golf now. Back of a length slanted across off, Santner stands deep in the crease and mows the pull over cow corner fence. Nice clean strike of the ball

Faheem Ashraf to Santner, no run, slanted across on a yorker length, Santner can't jam it out
19.2
Faheem Ashraf to Santner, 2 runs, dropped! That's the first bit of sloppy work from Pakistan today. Short of length delivery angled across off, Santner whips it towards long-on. Zaman does the hard work of reaching there, but the ball pops out as he slides across

14.3
Faheem Ashraf to Ross Taylor, SIX, and another. Same area and swing and miss result. Ashraf dragged his length back, but Taylor was on the move, he walked across and down to smoke it over deep mid-wicket. Pinged the ad boardings on the full
14.2
Faheem Ashraf to Ross Taylor, no run, oh! He nearly connected with another. Ashraf bowls the cross-seamer and kept it outside off, Taylor was deep in the crease with a shuffle, he swings and misses. Just missed it by a couple of inches
14.1
Faheem Ashraf to Ross Taylor, SIX, this is the old Ross Taylor. People near the mid-wicket fence watch out! If he's in the mood there will be some coming your way. Shuffles across and picks the bones out of the length delivery, deposited onto the grass banks
11.6
Faheem Ashraf to Guptill, 2 runs, too straight, on off and middle, Guptill steps across to off and helps it along the way past short fine. Azam is square in the deep and he gets a mouthful from Sarfraz, who wanted him to be a bit backward
11.5
Faheem Ashraf to Guptill, no run, Sarfraz liked it. Guptill moved away to the leg-side and Ashraf followed him with a short of length delivery, cramped for room and Guptill is almost cut into half as he attempts a steer into the off-side

Faheem Ashraf to Guptill, no run, good length ball on off, Guptill walks into the forward push and hits it back to Ashraf
11.3
Faheem Ashraf to Guptill, FOUR, cheeky! Delicately played by Guptill. Backs away to the leg-side and waits for the back of a length delivery, he was almost cramped for room, but he crouched a bit and carved it over short third man. Used the pace of the bowler there
11.2
Faheem Ashraf to Kitchen, 1 run, makes room and drives the full delivery to mid-off, takes on the fielder and sprints through to the bowler's end. A direct hit might have made it interesting

Faheem Ashraf to Guptill, 1 run, back of a length on off, Guptill shuffles across and tucks it to deep mid-wicket
5.6
Faheem Ashraf to Guptill, SIX, out of the ground. "That is Martin Guptill," yells Ian Smith on air. Head down while he completes the bat swing. Not even looking at the ball. Full and around off, Guptill he moves away to free his arms and smashes it straight back over Ashraf. Bounces on the roof and goes out of the park. 108 meters! Costly over for Pakistan, 15 runs off the over

5.1
Faheem Ashraf to Williamson, out Caught by Babar Azam!! This was on the cards. The New Zealand innings was going nowhere and Williamson perishes while trying to manufacture something. He moves away to the leg-side and waits for the short delivery around off, hops and cracks the cut straight to cover-point. Sharp take from Azam as the ball was travelling. Wicket off the first ball for Ashraf. Williamson c Babar Azam b Faheem Ashraf 9(14) [4s-1]
