Pak vs Nz first test first day.

 In the first Test match against Pakistan, New Zealand has strengthened its position by scoring 222 runs for the loss of three wickets on the first day of the match thanks to the responsible batting of captain Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor.

However, after one ball, Shaheen failed to understand another ball of Afridi and caught Azhar Ali in the slip. In the first few overs of the match, Pakistani bowlers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Abbas bowled very well, which can be gauged from the fact that the Kiwis could not hit any boundaries in the first 10 overs after the first ball of the match. ۔ In the second ball of the 11th over of the match, Tom Blundell made a mistake of playing the ball going out, as a result of which he caught Yasir Shah standing in the third slip.
