Cricket
Both teams have named new-look sides, with Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam left out for Pakistan and the Indian Premier League accounting for most frontline New Zealand players. Follow the live cricket scores and updates from the NZ vs PAK match
Zakary Foulkes, the local lad, gets his first over. A couple of singles and a wide, and Pakistan now has recorded their second lowest powerplay score in history.
Foulkes in fact convinces his captain to take a review for caught behind as Salman Agha prods to defend in the final delivery of the over. Just misses the outside edge.
PAK – 14/4 (6)
Kyle Jamieson is relentless. The right-arm pacer from Auckland gets his third in 16 deliveries. Shadab Khan (3 off 6)fishes outside the line, and is caught by a flying Tim Robinson at backward point, reminiscent of Glenn Phillips act. Jamieson’s figures now read 3/4.
Salman Agha is the new man for Pakistan in the middle. He joins Salman Agha, who is unbeaten on 7 off 8.
PAK – 11/4 in five overs
Make it two for Kyle Jamieson. The lanky pacer removes Irfan Khan for one run (1 off 6), caught behind. Once again extra bounce doing the damage. Shadab Khan gives Salman Agha company in the middle.
PAK – 3/3 (2)
Pakistan are in trouble. Openers Mohammad Haris (0 off 6) and Hasan Nawaz (0 off 2) are back in the hut.
Kyle Jamieson starts with a wicket-maiden, snaring Haris for a six-ball duck — caught by Mitchell Hay at third man. Two deliveries later, Nawaz Jacob Duffy induces an edge. Easy take for Jamieson at third man. And Pakistan are yet to open the scoring.
PAK – 0/2 (1.2)

New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell wins the toss and opted to bowl first. “Looks like a good wicket. We’ll look to utilize the bounce that you get here in Hagley and have first use of it,” he said. “It’s nice to get the captaincy in New Zealand in front of the home crowd, really looking forward to it.”
Salman Agha, his Pakistan counterpart agrees: “Certainly a good wicket, I don’t think it’ll change much. We are happy batting first. We’re playing with a new combination. I am very excited for the new guys, I think they are going to have a blast.”
