Mohammad Amir to McCullum, OUT, McCullum's fallen first ball on his comeback! Amir bounced him from over the wicket and McCullum did not hold back, he hooked straightaway, but the ball went off the high part of the bat towards long leg where Irfan ran to his left to complete a sharp catch, he took that on the run

Azhar Ali to Guptill, OUT, he's been caught this time! Guptill tries to repeat the shot, clearing his front foot and swinging hard at a full ball, trying to hit down the ground, he ends up slicing it as the bat turns in his hand, an easy catch to point. Threw away his wicket there really

Azhar Ali to Williamson, OUT, would you believe it? Azhar with his part-time legspin has got both set batsmen out! Williamson stepped out to the bowler but Azhar saw him coming and shortened the length, ripping the legbreak past Williamson, who was all at sea after not getting to the pitch of the ball. He barely made an attempt to get back as Sarfraz uprooted the stump, he was so far out

Mohammad Amir to Nicholls, OUT, lbw! Amir follows the bouncer with a fuller and skiddy ball angling into the left-hander Nicholls who moves forward and across and is beaten on the inside edge as he tries to flick. Proper sucker punch that was. Would have hit middle stump
HM Nicholls lbw b Mohammad Amir 5 (13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 38.46
New Zealand 188/4   GD Elliott 3* (6b)   Mohammad Amir6.1-0-18-2

Shoaib Malik to Elliott, OUT, caught at point! Malik has one now! A really harmless ball, flat and short outside off. It was there to be cut and Elliott cut it straight to Babar at point, such a soft dismissal.
GD Elliott c Babar Azam b Shoaib Malik 10 (17b 0x4 0x6) SR: 58.82
