Pakistan vs New Zealand 2nd Test Day 5 Highlights

HAMILTON: After a dramatic batting collapse, Pakistan lost the second Test by 138 runs against New Zealand to go 2-0 down in the series. Here are full highlights of Day 5 play.

Pakistan at one stage, needed 211, with nine wickets in hand with a minimum of 34 overs left. Those nine wickets fell in the space of 24.3 overs, the last six to the second new ball in the space of 11 overs.

This was New Zealand’s first series win over Pakistan since 1985.

Earlier, at Christchurch, Pakistan lost the first Test match by 8 wickets.

Pakistan started the day on a positive note as openers Sami Aslam and captain Azhar Ali put 131 runs for the first wicket.

Azhar departed in the second session of the day on the bowling of left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner after scoring 58 off 161 balls.

Sami on the other hand, departed after a hard-fought 91 off 238 balls in the last session when the visitors decided to show some intent of chasing down what would be the highest target chased in the country in five-day format.

The Green Caps batting lineup once again collapsed, this time in the last hour of the play, as they lost their last seven wickets for just 31 runs in over 15 overs.

For Black Caps, left-arm pacer Neil Wagner picked three, whereas experienced Tim Southee and Santner picked two wickets each.

Southee for his brilliant bowling performance in the match, was awarded man of the match.
