Pakistan wrap up convincing win in first Test vs NZ

Pakistan completed a thumping 10-wicket victory in the first Test over New Zealand [ Images ] inside three days after they had bowled the hosts out for just 110 in their second innings after the tea break.

The visitors had been given a victory target of just 19 runs after they established a 92-run first innings lead earlier on Sunday before left-arm spinner Abdul Rehman was again the principle tormenter of New Zealand's batsmen, taking three wickets for 24 runs and creating enormous pressure.

Rehman also combined magnificently with left-arm pace bowler Wahab Riaz, who ended with three for 38, while Umar Gul mopped up the tail to finish with three for 28.

Mohamam Hafeez and Taufeeq Umar [ Images ] wrapped up the victory in just 3.4 overs to guide the visitors to 21-0 and a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The second Test begins in Wellington next Saturday.
