 In the second Test match between Pakistan and New Zealand, the national team was bowled out for 297 in its first innings.

After losing 3 wickets for 70 runs, Fawad Alam came to support the batting line of the national team. However, he and Azhar Ali together could add only 13 runs to the score and Fawad Alam was also dismissed for a total score of 83. However, after losing the first four batsmen within 100 runs, the national team batted cautiously and Azhar Ali and Mohammad Rizwan slowly pushed the team's score forward.

He was followed by Azhar Ali, who was dismissed for 93 off 172 balls. The seventh wicket of the national team fell to 260 when Faheem Ashraf was bowled out for 48 by Jameson. After losing 7 wickets for 260 runs, the tail enders could add another 37 runs to the total score and the entire national team was bowled out for 297 in the first innings.

Both teams are made up of these players Pakistan: Mohammad Rizwan (captain), Shaun Masood, Abid Ali, Azhar Ali, Haris Sohail, Fawad Alam, Mohammad Rizwan, Fahim Ashraf, Zafar Gohar, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Abbas and Naseem Shah. New Zealand: Ken Williamson (captain), Tom Latham, Tom Blundell, Rose Taylor, Henry Nichols, BJ Watling, Daryl Mitchell, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee, Matt Henry and Trent Bolt.

Azhar's knock was largely one of denial. Risks weren't his cup of tea, the emphasis firmly on crease occupation by playing close to the body and trying to wear the bowlers down. That said, when runs were at a premium and Jamieson threatened to take the game away, Azhar also found a way to punish the odd bad deliveries, his on-driving in particular right out of the top drawer.

His 82-run partnership with Rizwan after Pakistan lost three wickets in as many overs to Jamieson, who came in first change after the first hour's play, changed the complexion of Pakistan's innings. At 83 for 4, when collapse was written everywhere the innings, Rizwan ensured he was up and running to ease much of the pressure on Azhar.

The day started poorly for Pakistan with Shan Masood trapped lbw by a toe-crusher from Tim Southee in the third over of the morning. This was after Southee had set him up within the opening over with a succession of away-going deliveries, all of which were dealt well with a decent defence. Not only did Masood eventually find yourself falling for a duck, he also burnt a review in referring what seemed a plumb call, something ball-tracking reaffirmed seconds later.

Abid Ali was subsequent to travel , but after he had dug in and fought his way through the primary hour. His leg-side strokeplay was competent, but the tendency to nudge deliveries outside off had him playing one too many into the cordon. It didn't help that Jamieson got it to increase off a length and straighten. Then, two deliveries into Jamieson's next over, Haris Sohail, over whom there seem to be question marks every time he bats, was caught in a moment of indecision. The ball flew off his edge by the time he decided to withdraw the bat, with Henry

Nicholls pouching one at gully. By then, it had been clear this was no surface to undertake and fight your way through - runs were equally important. Jamieson further drove this home when Fawad Alam, centurion from the previous game, got a snorter of a bouncer that had him go over in trying to fend, only for the ball to sharply jab back in to lob off the glove to BJ Watling behind the stumps. Just like that, Pakistan had collapsed. But Rizwan had other ideas as he strode out confidently.

He counter-punched quite magnificently after a rain break, hitting Trent Boult for three successive boundaries to get the scoreboard moving. He was particularly severe on anything even a fraction short, using his hand-eye coordination to play fierce cut shots or at times even using the pace to guide the ball along the carpet behind square on the off side.

It needed Jamieson's introduction once again after drinks to cut short the partnership. Getting one to lift off a length and nip back in, he had Rizwan playing the wrong line as he nicked behind. This could have ended up being a double-strike for brand spanking new Zealand had Ross Taylor not excuse Faheem Ashraf initially wear 4. It would cost New Zealand 44 more as Ashraf followed his captain's template to counterattack with the lower order for company.

When Azhar was call at the ultimate session for 93, it appeared as if Pakistan could fold quickly. But Ashraf and debutant Zafar Gohar laid down a template their top order could have done better to follow. Gohar, with a first-class batting average of 21 before this game, made a solid 34 to feature more heft before the lower order was dismantled without much of a fight.
