WELLINGTON, Dec 4 (Cricinfo): It's a venue that Pakistan's bowlers have enjoyed more than those from any other side over the last two decades, and they celebrated the Basin Reserve's fiftieth Test in fitting style, destroying New Zealand's top order with another clinical performance that left them superbly placed to level the series.
Pakistan 264 (Kamran Akmal 70, Vettori 4-58, Tuffey 4-64) and 64 for 2 lead New Zealand 99 (Asif 4-40, Kaneria 3-6) by 229 runs.
