Southee struck in the opening over of the day to send back Babar Azam without adding anything to his overnight score of 161.

While Nauman Ali blocked most of the 75 balls he faced, he was involved in a crucial half-century stand with Salman.

Agha Salman reached a 97-ball half-century just ahead of the Lunch break.

Sodhi picked up a wicket each on either side of Lunch.

Salman went to score his maiden Test hundred that took Pakistan to 438 in their first innings.

Southee put an end to Salman's century knock, picking up his 350th Test scalp in the process.

Tom Latham brought up his half-century in the final session.

By stumps, Conway and Latham had added a record highest opening stand for New Zealand on Pakistan soil.

Conway, upon reaching the score of 82, became the fastest Kiwi batter to score 1000 Test runs (19 innings).
