OUT! L.B.W. Yasir Shah to Ajaz Patel. Leg spinner length ball, middle stump on the front foot, hit pad to.
This is one of the strangest dismissals you will ever see. Yasir has changed his angle to over the wicket and pitched it on the stumps. The debutant has not picked it at all and leaves a straight delivery which thumps into the pads.
All over then for New Zealand. They have been skittled out for 153 in two sessions after winning the toss, the lowest first innings score at this venue in Tests. Only the captain Kane Williamson added some useful runs but his 63 wasn't enough to post a decent total with none of the other batsmen applying themselves. Pakistan will be over the moon with their efforts and now the bowlers can relax while the batsmen look to take advantage and post a large total.

FOUR! Bilal Asif to Trent Boult. Off break length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. Gentle skip down the track from Boult and a lofted shot back over mid off. Nothing to lose for the number 11.

OUT! Caught. Bilal Asif to Neil Wagner. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to first slip, by Shafiq. Deserved wicket for the off spinner. He has been challenging the outside edge of both batsmen and eventually Wagner prods forward and feathers a catch to first slip. One more wicket for Pakistan for them to wrap up this innings.

OUT! Caught. Trent Boult to Babar Azam. In-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot glancing, inside edge to wicketkeeper, by Watling.
Little tickle down the legside but not enough bat for Babar to beat the keeper. Decent grab from Watling diving to his left, pouching it with one hand. Slight confusion as everybody is walking off but the umpires want to check the catch. It's all fine.
New Zealand will be very happy with their efforts after tea. Taken the last two wickets very quickly without giving up too much of a lead. Pakistan would have hoped for 150 plus when they started batting this morning but New Zealand did not make it easy for them and this doesn't seem to be an ordinary Abu Dhabi wicket. Big task coming up for the Kiwi batters, and especially the openers who will want to get their side off to a good start.

OUT! Caught. Colin de Grandhomme to Hasan Ali. Out-swinging yorker, off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to first slip, by Taylor. Such a full delivery with a hint of late away movement and the edge is taken. Taylor pouches a simple chance at first slip and New Zealand are one wicket away from putting their pads on. Good decision from Williamson to take the new ball straight away.

Colin de Grandhomme to Hasan Ali. Seaming away length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Watling.
That will be tea. New Zealand's session with four wickets but Pakistan have taken a lead of 72 with Babar Azam looking very good on 60 not out. Only a couple of wickets left for Pakistan so Babar will need to bat well with the tail to try and eek out as many runs as possible. Things have definitely been happening with the ball for the Kiwis when they have put it in the right areas, and Ajaz Patel in particular has been superb. Join us again after this short break.

OUT! Caught. Neil Wagner to Yasir Shah. Length ball, middle stump on the front foot Slog, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Watling. 150th Test match wicket for Wagner.

OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Ajaz Patel to Azhar Ali. Stock length ball, to leg on the front foot defending, hit pad to.
New Zealand have done it! What a delivery from Ajaz Patel and he has spun his team to victory in his debut Test. It needed something special to dismiss Azhar Ali and that is what he produced. Pitching on leg stump and spinning it past the bat and into the pads. Hopeful review from Azhar but it's not going to go his way. Hard luck after he gritted it out and very nearly got his team over the line when everybody else lost their heads.
Pakistan have been blown away today after they were in pole position to take the win. At 40-0 and 130-4 they should have brought it home but after the lunch break everything went New Zealand's way. A mixture of brainless batting and pressure of a small chase. Pakistan's coach will have nightmares and plenty of things to say after what he has seen. Their smallest defeats by runs in Tests.
Great achievement for New Zealand and a win for their new coach in his first match. What a start to the series. Two more to come with the next one in five days. Catch your breath and join us then.
