Having dismissed Pakistan for 332, New Zealand were expected to set to build on a lead. However, what turned out was Pakistan came back with a fighting chance.

Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer returned with like figures from the first innings, with the former picking up four wickets and the latter picking up two wickets as New Zealand themselves at 147 for eight in their second innings, attempting to build a massive target for Pakistan over their first innings lead of ninety-seven runs in the first Test in Dunedin.
Earlier Shane Bond returned with a five wicket haul as Pakistan closed their first innings on 332. Given a chance to put the visitors on the backfoot, only three New Zealand batsmen returned with double digit figures, Ross Taylor top scoring with fifty-nine as Tim McIntosh was dismissed by Mohammad Asif for thirty-one.
New Zealand still have 244 runs in the lead and a couple of wickets but the fiery Pakistan bowling has given something for the Pakistan batsmen to be interested in.
