Honours were even in New Zealand's one-off Test against Pakistan in Christchurch yesterday. Thirteen wickets fell and 306 runs were scored in a fascinating day's play.
New Zealand's openers cautiously made their way to 48 in response to Pakistan's 208 before Bryan Young edged Ata-ur-Rehman to the wicketkeeper Rashid Latif for 16. Fellow opener Craig Spearman was denied a half-century on his debut when Mushtaq Ahmed got revenge for being straight- driven for six by him in his first over.
