Jamieson made the breakthrough when he had Shan caught by wicket-keeper BJ Watling for 10 when he feathered a catch down the leg side. Watling said it was important to press home the advantage when play resumes but that Pakistan would be no pushovers. Left-hander Nicholls wasted little time in reaching his 10th Test match half-century, bringing it up inside the first two overs, and Williamson then brought up his 23rd Test century with a clinical cover drive off Naseem Shah for his ninth boundary. Williamson top-scored for New Zealand with 129, while tall left-arm fast bowler Shaheen Afridi was the pick of the Pakistan bowlers, finishing with 4/109. 1ST TEST, DAY 2PAKISTAN 30/1 in 20 overs (Abid 19*, Shan 10) trail NEW ZEALAND 431 in 155 overs (Williamson 129, Afridi 4/109) by 401 runs
