Captain Daniel Vettori has scored his sixth test century to lead New Zealand's recovery on the second day of the second cricket test but the Pakistan batsmen responded strongly to leave the game delicately poised.
Vettori's 110 steered New Zealand from 180-6 on the first day to 356 all out in its first innings after it had won the toss and batted. At stumps, Pakistan was 134-2 with Azhar Ali 62 not out, while Taufeeq Umar made 70 before falling to the final ball of the day.The 132-run second-wicket partnership between Taufeeq and Azhar balanced the test and diminished New Zealand's chances of leveling the two-match series which Pakistan leads 1-0.
