DUBAI, Nov 17 (BSS/AFP): New Zealand lost opener Brendon McCullum after a solid start to reach lunch on 82-1 on the opening day of the second Test against Pakistan Monday.
McCullum pulled a short delivery from seamer Ehsan Adil straight into the hands of Shan Masood at deep square-leg for 43 after New Zealand won the toss on a flat, grassless pitch at Dubai stadium.
At the break Tom Latham was on 35 and Kane Williamson was four not out after the openers had raced to 77 in a solid start to the innings.
McCullum took the attack to the bowlers, hitting four boundaries and two sixes during his 69-minute stay at the crease.
