Coming to the events of Day 1, Stand-in Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan opted to field first after winning the toss. The decision looked impeccable as Shaheen Afridi made the red cherry talk as openers Tom Latham and Tom Blundell were back in the hut after scoring four and five respectively.

However, skipper Williamson joined forces with veteran Ross Taylor and the duo added 120 runs for the third wicket. While Taylor fell prey to Afridi for 70, Williamson got another potent partner in Henry Nicholls as the Kiwis didn’t lose any more wicket in the day. At the end of day’s play, New Zealand’s were on the driver’s seat with their scorecard reading 222/3.
