1st Test: Pakistan vs New Zealand at Abu Dhabi

Fresh off their series victory against the Aussies, Pakistan host New Zealand in the first match of a three Test series. Pakistan have named the same 16-man squad for the first Test and will likely field the same XI that beat Australia in the second Test, also at Abu Dhabi.

Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat. They have indeed chosen to field the same XI that beat Australia. 18/0 (5 ov).

Pakistan 243/1 (83.0 ov)

PAK 254/1 in the 86th over, Azhar and Shehzad batting really well

Pakistan 269/1 (90.0 ov)

Shezad 126*
                               

Really good start for Pakistan. They have set themselves up nicely to post a really big score. They are playing with a lot of confidence right now

150 for Shehzad, his first in Test cricket. Pakistan 303/1. New Zealand bowlers are really toiling out there.

Pakistan piled in the runs before they declared at 566/3. Younis Khan notched another century. All five of Pakistan's batsman that batted scored 80+, the first time in Test history. New Zealand finished the day on 15/0 and trail Pakistan by 551 runs.

Shabash !
