Pakistan vs New Zealand, Champions Trophy Highlights: PAK thrashed by 60 runs, all but knocked out already

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: This innings can be deemed as a good or bad one based on what Babar can do from here. For now though, he has batted out 49 dot balls and so needless to say, this has been a struggle. The crowd seems to recognise this as well, only muted applause from them. Babar also doesn't raise his bat.

Pakistan 124/3 in 30.1 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Santner bowls short of a length first ball of the next over, Salman cuts it through point for four. Then he doesn't really nail the drive but it goes behind for four anyway. In fact he had deliberately squeezed it with a late adjustment and so it is an extraordinary shot. Two singles after that in the over and some sloppy work from Williamson lets Salman off the hook for the latter of those. Williamson kicks the ball in anger.

Babar on 44 off 74, Salman on 26 off 20.

Pakistan 104/3 in 28 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Babar takes a single off the first ball of the 27th, then Salman makes room and smashes the second ball from Phillips towards deep cover for four. Then he paddles the next ball over his shoulder for another four. A single next ball, Babar then plays out two dots.

Salman on 17 off 16, Babar on 43 off 72.

Pakistan 94/3 in 27 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Well this must be painful to watch for Pakistan fans. Phillips has bowled five runs and given just 21 runs and Santner on the other hand has bowled three overs for just 10. Pakistan are still going at a run rate of 3.23, their required rate has climbed to 9.87. Everything Babar and Agha try seems to find a fielder. Just one run in the 26th over as well from Santner, Babar on 42 off 69, Agha on eight off 13.

Pakistan 84/3 in 26 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: He goes for his millionth blind slog sweep of the day against Bracewell fifth ball of the 21st over. Misses it entirely and the stumps are a mess. That ends a partnership of 65 balls off which just 47 runs came between Fakhar and Babar.

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Well they have been getting to everything and it did look like Conway had this covered, puts in a full length dive forward and the ball even seems to have settled in his hands. But then it rolls out from under him. Could be that his sight of the ball was interrupted by the low lights in Karachi. The struggling Fakhar gets a life but can he really do anything with it? He is on 24 off 40 at the end of that over, Babar on 32 off 47.

Pakistan 66/2 in 20 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: One could say they have accelerated as their run rate has now gone above 3 but well, the hole they are in is just getting deeper and deeper. Fakhar on 18 off 28, Babar on 27 off 41 balls.

Pakistan 55/2 in 17 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Fakhar flat bats the third ball of the 14th bowled by Phillips down the ground for four and then he goes down on the floor, clutching his left leg. He then gets up, gets ready to face the next ball and takes an empty swing at it. It is slapped to extra cover and then Fakhar just crumples to the floor. It looked like that would be the day up for him but he seems ready to continue after a long word with the physio. He even runs a single next ball, stops quite gingerly at the non-striker's end and a dot to end the over.

Babar on 22 off 37, Fakhar on nine off 14.

Pakistan 41/2 in 14 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Michael Bracewell bowls the 11th over, Fakhar jumps out and slogs at the last ball out of pure desperation. It goes to the point region where it lands safe and Fakhar some hobbles through for a single. Pakistan have huge issues here and they would be really helped if Babar can get going at the other end.

Fakhar has scored one run in three balls, Babar on 13 off 30.

Pakistan 24/2 in 11 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: SHUT DOWN THE CATCH OF THE TOURNAMENT AWARDS BECAUSE WE HAVE A WINNER ALREADY! The most spectacular part of Mohammad Rizwan's innings today will be his dismissal. O'Rourke bowled the last ball of the 10th over short and wide, Rizwan cut it fiercely and the ball was breaking the speed barrier as it went to Phillips' left. On most days, that would be four runs easy-peesy but not when Phillips is manning that point in the field. He dives to his left, catches it with his outstretched left hand after it had slightly gone past him and then just gets up with a shy smile on his face after doing all that.

Pakistan have scored just 22 runs in the first powerplay.

Rizwan c Phillips b O'Rourke 3 (14)

Pakistan 22/2 in 10 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Babar gets a little width off the fifth ball of O'Rourke's over in the eighth and Babar drives it square to the boundary. But there was just one more run before that in this over and Babar is on 10 off 18. Rizwan really struggling on two off 11. Gremlins seem to have taken over the world feed, meanwhile, it's all jagged and jittery.

Pakistan's run rate at the moment is a snail-like 2.37, they need to go at 7.19.

Pakistan 19/1 in 8 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: The ball is keeping low on a few occassions. The commentators are also saying that there is a chance of dew not playing a role today because it is quite windy. We can see the shirts of the players flapping away. Meanwhile, there are some real issues today with keeping the sight screen clear. At least six times have the Pakistan batters stopped the bowler today because someone meddling in the area around the sight screen. It had happened a number of times during the New Zealand innings as well.

Babar on six off 16, Rizwan on one off seven.

Pakistan 14/1 in 7 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Well if he is going to play like this today then even 320 will be too small a target. Problem is Babar has only shown glimpses of his genius for much of the last couple of years and here is another one of those. PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Well if he is going to play like this today then even 320 will be too small a target. Problem is that Babar has only shown glimpses of his genius for much of the last couple of years and here is another one of those. Henry overpitches fifth ball of the fifth over, Babar takes a small step forward and creams a nice, high elbow cover drive to the boundary. He is on five off nine at the end of that over, his captain Mohammad Rizwan on nought off two. O'Rourke continues next over.

Pakistan 12/1 in 5 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Babar is off the mark with the first ball of that over, Shakeel tries to go for a rather loose waft outside off stump fourth ball and perishes. Fakhar can walk in only when the Pakistan innings is 20 minutes old and they would be disappointed that their make-shift opening combo didn't even last that much.

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Matt Henry bowled the first over, Will O'Rourke the second. Shakeel was beaten comprehensively second ball of O'Rourke's over, going for a cover drive and the ball screaming past his outside edge. He is on two off 10, Babar yet to score after facing two balls.

Pakistan 3/0 in 2 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Fakhar Zaman can come out to bat only about 20 minutes into Pakistan's innings because of the fact that he was out for a long time during New Zealand's knock. And so it is Saud Shakeel opening today with Babar Azam.

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Young has a brief conversation with the broadcasters. Here is what he said about the conditions, which was the important bit: "We found it was really difficult when the bowlers bowled a really good length, just back of the length. Spinners as well, when they slowed it up, it got stuck in the wicket."

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Those two innings between Latham and Young and Latham and Phillips has put New Zealand on top here. They have been absolutely dominant throughout their stay in Pakistan thus far, having been hardly challenged in the preceding tri-series, and a huge reason behind that has been the stabilising effect of Tom Latham in the middle order and the acceleration provided by Glenn Phillips in the end.

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Pakistan need 321 to win and potentially avoid an early exit in this Champions Trophy. Latham remains unbeaten on 118 off just 104 balls, his innings including 10 fours and three sixes. New Zealand's run rate in the last 10 overs was more than 11 and so very good accelaration from them. This is possibly the most they could've scored after that platform set by Latham and Young.

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: A soft dismissal but it doesn't matter. Phillips tries to ramp Rauf and he ends up loop it straight into the hands of the man at short third man. That partnership ends on 125 off just 74 balls.

Glenn Phillips c Fakhar Zaman b Haris Rauf 61 (39)

New Zealand 316/5 in 49.4 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: He takes a single off the first ball of the 49th from Afridi to get to the milestone. Four sixes and one four in it thus far. New Zealand now five away from 300. Pakistan have a proper mountain to climb in their innings and they would be hoping that dew comes into play.

New Zealand 295/5 in 48.1 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Glenn Phillips has gone from being 17 off 21 to 47 off 31. Latham brought up his ton with a single and then Phillips clubs the fourth ball flat over deep midwicket for a six. Then he flcks the fifth ball over deep square leg for yet another six. Single off the last ball after that.

New Zealand 283/4 in 47 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Single off the third ball of the 47th takes Latham to 100 in just 95 balls. What an innings this has been from the NZ Test captain and the Kiwis are absolutely hammering their dominance home at the moment in Karachi. Eighth ODI century for Latham.

New Zealand 370/4 in 46.3 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: This is not going well for Pakistan at all. Abrar keeps bowing it down the leg side despite Rizwan telling him not to do that repeatedly throughout that over and Latham kept punishing him for it. He first bowls leg side third ball of that over and Latham sweeps him for six. He then sticks to that line, Latham sweeps it for four. Rizwan runs down and keeps a hand on Abrar's cheek while talking to him with all his heart after that, Abrar bowls the fifth ball outside off and it is a dot. Then down the leg side again, Latham sweeps it for four again and Abrar gets a hiding from Rizwan.

Latham has cruised to 87 off 87, Phillips on 17 off 21.

New Zealand 240/4 in 44 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Second ball of the 40th from Naseem is full on Latham's leg. The NZ Test captain times his flick to absolute perfection and the ball flies off over deep square leg for six. A single off the fourth ball and then two off the fifth to make it nine runs in that over. Latham on 67 off 77, Phillips on four off seven.

New Zealand 207/4 in 40 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: We have gone past 5.30pm IST and still Pakistan are just getting ready to bowl their 39th over, Afridi steaming in for his eighth. Latham is on 58 off 69 and while Young may have fallen, it is Glenn Phillips who has repaced him. He had scored an unbeaten 106 off 74 balls against Pakistan in Lahore in the opening match of the tri-series just 11 days ago.

New Zealand 193/4 in 38 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: And it is Naseem Shah who gets it. Length ball second ball of the 38th. Substitute fielder Faheem Ashraf runs in from deep square leg, dives and takes a brilliant catch to end a colossal innings. Young had got to his century in 107 balls and his innings ends on 107 as well.

Young c sub (Faheem Ashraf) b Naseem Shah 107 (113)

New Zealand 187/4 in 37.2 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Second consecutive ODI fifty for Latham. He chips the fourth ball of that over from Rauf in the air, it falls just out of reach for mid-on and the batters run three. He had scored 56 in the tri-series final against Pakistan earlier, remember.

New Zealand 181/3 in 35.4 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: And at long last, he crosses the line. Incredible knock from Young. The second ball of the next over from Abrar is what does the trick. He sweeps it for a single and thus brings up his knock from 107 balls. His partnership with Latham is also getting closer and closer to the century mark. Pakistan have a mountain to climb here. Both these batters look almost infallible at the moment, save for all the drama that happened in the last over.

New Zealand 172/3 in 34.2 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: It's all happening in Karachi! A sudden burst of glorious jeopardy for both batters, Latham in particular. Pakistan appeal for caught behind second ball as Latham missed his pull. Umpire calls it wide and Rizwan reviews. There was no spike on the ultra edge and so that is a review gone for Pakistan. Rauf remains short, Latham pulls again and this time Salman Ali Agha almost pulls off a blinder at midwicket, diving to his left and plucking it out of thin air with his outstretched left arm, he can't hold on. But Young is many feet off his crease at the non-striker's end, the throw comes in and it is off target. Young would've been gone had it hit the stumps. Then a vicious bouncer, Latham puts his bat in front of him and hopes for the best. He has no idea where the ball has popped off to but luckily for him, it just comes down safely right in front of him. Latham defends the next ball solidly and then another bouncer, this time the batter is ready and he swats it away for a boundary. And then Rauf misses his run up twice. He finally nails it at third attempt, Latham runs two.

New Zealand 171/3 in 34 overs

PAK vs NZ LIVE Score: Abrar returns for the 33rd over, A single by Latham first ball and then Young sweeps the second ball. Gets a lucky top edge that goes past the wicketkeeper and it seems to have the legs to reach the boundary as well, but Rauf pulls it back just before it reaches the boundary. The batters run three and Young stays on 99. Latham takes a single next ball and then Young is pinned down for the last three balls of the over. He is on 99 off 105, Rauf will be bowling to Latham, who is on 41 off 50, in the 34th.

New Zealand 164/3 in 33 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Score: He plays the last ball of the 32nd from Rauf late, it was full and it seemed to have gone through him but he somehow sends it past deep third for four. Young on 96 off 101 at the end of that over, Latham on 39 off 48.

New Zealand 159/3 in 32 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Score: Latham with a couple of superb sweeps against Khushdil in the 30th over off the third and sixth balls. He finishes that over on 35 off 43, Young at the other end on 89 off 94. This partnership has now produced 75 runs and Pakistan are looking slightly bereft of ideas now.

New Zealand 148/3 in 30 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Score: A chance from one of these two at long last for Pakistan and of course it is Naseem Shah who squeezes it out. Fifth ball from Naseem in that over is a length ball angling into off stump, Young steps across and tries to work it leg side, takes a leading edge but it doesn't quite carry back to Naseem. The last ball is a length delivery into middle and leg, this time Young flicks it perfectly and sends the ball past deep backward square leg for four. He moves to 80 off 88, Latham on 20 off 31.

New Zealand 124/3 in 27 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Score: And Rizwan throws the ball back to Naseem Shah, who certainly has been Pakistan's best bowler for a while now. The stand has now produced 46 runs and worrying for Pakistan, these two have never given them even a half chance of a wicket.

New Zealand 119/3 in 26 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Score: Shaheen Afridi returned for the 21st over and Salman Ali Agha is bowling from the other end. New Zealand are two runs away from 100 and Young has played an absolutely chanceless innings thus far. Pakistan would be desperate to see the back of him.

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Score: Surely it will be difficult to drop Will Young if he plays the way he is today throughout the tournament. He filled in more than well for Williamson in India during the Test series late last year, today he seems to be a steady port in a storm for New Zealand having been drafted into the team due to the injury suffered by Rachin Ravindra. Young will now face up against Rauf, who is continuing for the 19th over, Tom Latham at the other end on four off five.

New Zealand 80/3 in 18 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Score: Mitchell is caught and New Zealand have lost three now. Rauf sticks to that back of a length area, digs it in really hard. Mitchell seems to have pre-meditated his pull shot and even then, he is late to it. The ball pops up in the air to mid-on for an easy catch. Pakistan continue to be right on top.

Mitchell c Shaheen Shah Afridi b Haris Rauf 10 (24)

New Zealand 73/3 in 16.2 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Score: Drinks are taken after the 14th over and Khushdil Shah will bowl the 15th. Young on strike, he is on 48 off 52 now, Mitchell on nine off 19. These two have somewhat steadied the ship for New Zealand after those two quick dismissals towards the end of the first powerplay.

New Zealand 71/2 in 15 overs

Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Score: He is back and seems ok so that is major good news for Pakistan. Meanwhile, Will Young is now four runs away from his half-century. He showed his worth with his stellar performance in New Zealand's still scarcely believable 3-0 win over India in the Test series there late last year and now, he is providing that stabilising effect in this game as well.

New Zealand 68/2 in 14 overs
