New Zealand’s bowling attack left it late to break down a determined Pakistan and clinch a breathtaking 101-run win on day five of the first Test at Mount Maunganui.
Mitchell Santner (2-52) took the decisive wicket with four overs to spare as the Black Caps were forced to be patient and take six wickets in the last session to seal a tense victory on the final day on Wednesday.
New Zealand are now officially the No.1 ranked Test team in the world after India defeated Australia in Melbourne.
With just four and a half overs left in the Test match, Mitchell Santner takes this screamer to win it for New Zealand!
THAT WINNING MOMENT! What a catch from Mitchell Santner…
