Pakistan escaped a few close shaves late in the session with Sarfaraz Ahmed being forced to dive into the crease off consecutive deliveries while taking risky singles. He brought up his fifty with a seventh boundary soon after the break, but departed soon thereafter, going for a short and wide one from Ish Sodhi, only to get a bottom edge that was snaffled by Tom Blundell behind the stumps. Agha Salman could not do much but Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Wasim Jr negotiated 85 balls until Tea, even as New Zealand remained in the hunt.
