Tim Southee to Hasan Ali
OUT! PLUMB! Tim Southee has struck and New Zealand have a golden opportunity here! Tim Southee bowls this really full and in line with the stumps, and gets the ball to angle back in. Hasan Ali looks to defend but is unable to get his bat down in time and gets hit low on the pads. Tim Southee is up in an instant and so is the umpire's finger. Hasan Ali decides to review this and UltraEdge shows no bat involved. Ball Tracking indicates three reds and New Zealand are two wickets away from an outstanding win. Will Pakistan try and play for a draw? Or will they still believe they can win this?

OUT! CAUGHT! Is this the game for New Zealand? They have a massive wicket here! Sarfaraz Ahmed has played an outstanding inning but departs just before the finish line. Michael Bracewell bowls this slightly short and this one spins sharply down leg side. Sarfaraz Ahmed looks to tuck this away but the ball goes off his gloves towards leg slip. Kane Williamson dives forward and takes fine catch inches from the ground. The umpires get together and go upstairs to check if the catch is taken cleanly and the soft signal is out. Replays show it is all good and New Zealand are one wicket away from a famous win.
