James Neesham 45(25)
19.1
Faheem Ashraf to Neesham, 1 run, and two needed now. Fitting Chapman will be on strike. Neesham scampered through after inside-edging the length delivery which darted in. The keeper failed to cut off the single. Two runs more and NZ will win this
18.6
Haris Rauf to Neesham, 1 run, back of a length delivery kicks up on the batter. The batter fails to control the pull and almost chips it down to deep mid on a few bounces for a single. The game does go into the last over but NZ need only 3 to win. No more twists? Right?
18.4
Haris Rauf to Neesham, 1 run, 5 needed now. Fuller ball, drilled but the man at mid-off did well to stop it. NZ want to finish this off in this over
18.2
Haris Rauf to Neesham, 1 run, backs away and stabs the ball down into the off-side for a single
18.1
Haris Rauf to Neesham, FOUR, dropped short and Neesham isn't missing out on the fun either. Stays back and thumps the pull past fine leg for a four. He has moved to 41 as well
16.5
Ihsanullah to Neesham, leg byes, 1 run, superb delivery! That was right up there and tailed in. The batter somehow managed to dig it out. That hit the edge and then the boot to dribble down to short fine. That will sting for a bit
16.2
Ihsanullah to Neesham, 1 run, fuller length delivery from round the wicket and angled in. Clubbed down to long-on for a single sans much timing
16.1
Ihsanullah to Neesham, FOUR, slammed down the ground! Four. The bat face opened a little. That was a length delivery, Neesham cleared his front leg to slam it down the ground over mid-off. Good meaty hit to start the over

14.6
Ihsanullah to Neesham, 2 runs, digs the ball short, outside off, Neesham pulls the ball down as he mistimes it. They charge back for a second. There is a direct hit at the batter's end but Neesham has made it. The ball ricochets away but they don't get more runs out of that
14.5
Ihsanullah to Neesham, no ball, 1 run, that slips out of the hands of the bowler. Was a very high one and has been mistimed down to long-on for a single. Free-hit coming up...Chance for Chapman to add to his tally. The field can change as the new batter will be on strike
14.5
Ihsanullah to Neesham, wide, full toss, spilled across the southpaw but very wide outside off and Neesham fails to wood it. Has been wided
14.4
Ihsanullah to Neesham, SIX, and Neesham has the onus to bring down the rate as well. That's a typical mow over deep mid. That was middled. Pakistan under the hammer now. These two are turning on the heat

Ihsanullah to Neesham, 1 run, fuller ball, outside off, Neesham jams the ball down into the off-side for a single
14.1
Ihsanullah to Neesham, FOUR, and Neesham joins the fun as well. Backs away to a fuller ball, gets enough wood on it and gets it between cover and mid-off for a four. That was sweetly timed by Neesham
13.4
Shaheen Afridi to Neesham, 1 run, right up there! That shaped in and Neesham tried to eke it out and got an inside edge for a single
