9:56 AM IST ...Presentation next...

9:56 AM IST New Zealand go 2-0 up in the series. They were definitely nervous while defending. Nothing was going as per their plan but once Adam Milne got the wicket of Zaman, the flood gates opened up for them. They kept it tight after that and even the bowlers came back strongly in the back end. The worrying sign for New Zealand was their fielding. Both Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam were dropped once and went onto make most of it. On any other day, they could have snatched the result and New Zealand will surely work on the fielding department.
