New Zealand Vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score - Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20I - Full Scorecard

Zaman Khan to Finn Allen, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Oh..no! He fails to break that record here, but he has played a special knock. Zaman Khan takes pace off this time, on a length and on middle, Finn Allen goes for the big heaves across the line, but does so a bit early and gets an inside edge back onto the stumps. He looks disappointed, but walks out to a round of applause from everyone present at the ground.

Haris Rauf to Devon Conway, OUT! TAKEN! Haris Rauf draws first blood! Devon Conway's poor run of form continues as he goes back for another low score. Rauf hits the length hard this time, on middle and leg, Devon Conway backs away to loft it away, but gets hurried due to the extra bounce and pace and loses all his shape and the bat as well when he connects. As a result, it goes high in the air towards mid off, Babar Azam settles under it nad pouches it safely. New Zealand lose an early wicket!

Mohammad Wasim to Tim Seifert, OUT! TAKEN! Mohammad Wasim strikes now and Pakistan finally gets another breakthrough. This is short of a length and around off, slower too, Tim Seifert goes through his pull shot a bit too early, fails to get any power on that as the ball goes high in the air towards deep mid-wicket, Saim Ayub moves to his right and takes a good catch. Seifert goes after a sneaky little cameo!

Mohammad Nawaz to Daryl Mitchell, OUT! TAKEN! Mohammad Nawaz gets a wicket now! Daryl Mitchell goes back without making much impact here. This is flatter, short and around leg, Daryl Mitchell moves back and tries to paddle it away, but closes the face a bit too much, the ball goes off the top edge towards short fine leg where Zaman Khan takes a dolly. New Zealand three down but Allen is still out there!

Shaheen Afridi to Glenn Phillips, OUT! TAKEN! A brilliant catch in the deep! Shaheen Afridi lands this back of a length and around off, slower too, Glenn Phillips tries to pull it away but fails to get the elevation and mistimes it in the air, Saim Ayub from deep mid-wicket runs forward a long way, and takes a spectacular diving catch. Phillips goes after a decent little cameo!

Haris Rauf to Mark Chapman, OUT! TAKEN! Haris Rauf strikes again! He sees the batter shuffle across and fires this full, outside off, Mark Chapman tries to scoop it away, but tries to adjust at the last moment. However, he gets into an awkward position and the ball goes off the leading edge towards point where Mohammad Wasim takes an easy catch. New Zealand lose half their side now!

Shaheen Afridi to Glenn Phillips, OUT! RUN OUT! Shaheen Afridi serves this full and around off, Glenn Phillips drills it wide of long off, turns back for the second, Mohammad Wasim quickly collects the ball and makes a perfect throw at the bowler's end right beside the stumps as Shaheen Afridi collects and breaks the stumps with Santner putting in a dive. However, the replay shows that Santner is well short of his crease. Also, Matt Henry walks up into the ground next for New Zealand.

Tim Southee to Saim Ayub, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Tim Southee draws first blood! The change of ends has worked for him and the Kiwis get a big wicket of Saim Ayub. This is the slower one, full and on off, anlging away, Saim Ayub goes for the hoick across the line, but only manages to get a top edge as the ball goes high in the air, Lockie Ferguson from short third man runs forward, and takes it inches above the ground. Pakistan suffers an early blow!

Mitchell Santner to Mohammad Rizwan, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mitchell Santner gets his man anyway! No need of a review this time around. He bowls this one quicker, short and outside off, turns away a bit, Mohammad Rizwan stays back, opens the face of the bat to guide it away, but only manages to get a faint edge behind where Glenn Phillips moves to his right to take sharp catch behind the stumps. A huge wicket for New Zealand as the dangerous Mohammad Rizwan goes back to the hut now.

Ish Sodhi to Babar Azam, OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Another fantastic catch! A classy knock from Babar Azam comes to an end now. Ish Sodhi drags his length back this time, outside off, Babar Azam tries to heave it away but fails to get enough power on this one, the ball travels flat and in the air wide of deep mid-wicket, Glenn Phillips runs to his left and pouches it excellently tumbling over. Babar had to go big as the asking rate was creeping up!

Lockie Ferguson to Fakhar Zaman, OUT! TAKEN! Lockie Ferguson strikes! Another big wicket for New Zealand! This one is bit fuller, outside off, angling away, Fakhar Zaman tries to heave it to the leg side, but has to drag this one and his bat also turns in his hand. As a result, he slices it up in the air and Mitchell Santner at extra covers takes a fine catch. Pakistan three down now!

Matt Henry to Azam Khan, OUT! TAKEN! Matt Henry gets a wicket now! A short stay for Azam Khan comes to an end. This is full and around middle, Azam Khan goes for the big slog, but gets more elevation than distance, the ball goes miles up in the air, Glenn Phillips at deep mid-wicket keeps his eyes on it, settles under it and does fantastically well to hold on to the catch in the end. Pakistan lose their fourth wicket now!

Lockie Ferguson to Iftikhar Ahmed, OUT! RUN OUT! Another one bites the dust! It is the same old story for Pakistan as they are losing their way in the middle again. Lockie Ferguson serves this full and on off, Iftikhar Ahmed drives it wide of extra covers and sets off for the run very casually, Mitchell Santner moves to his left, picks up and hits bullseye at the bowler's end with Iftikhar Ahmed well short of his crease. He knows that and starts walking back as the replay confirms the same as well.

Tim Southee to Mohammad Nawaz, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Tim Southee gets his second wicket! He takes pace off and lands this on a hard length, outside off, Mohammad Nawaz slashes hard at it but only manages to get a thin outside edge behind, Glenn Phillips dives forward to take a simple catch. Nawaz's little cameo comes to an end now!
