PAK vs NZ Highlights: Sarfaraz Ahmed's BRAVE CENTURY helps Pakistan save face in Karachi, 2nd Test ends in THRILLING DRAW: Watch Highlights

PAK vs NZ Highlights – PAK NZ Highlights: The 2nd Test in Karachi has ended in a thrilling draw. With Pakistan needed 15 runs in 3 overs and NewZealand just a wicket away from a win, umpires pulled the plug due to poor light. With that, the series ended in a 0-0 draw. Sarfaraz Ahmed was the star of Day 5 with a stunning century. His knock kept Pakistan in the fight until the last moment. Needing 319 on final day, Sarfaraz rescued Pakistan from 80/5. But with Michael Bracewell removing Sarfaraz it was only a matter of time for NZ. Ultimately, bad light denied Tim Southee & Co a win. Watch Follow Pakistan vs NewZealand on InsideSport.IN.

The equation for final day of Karachi Test began with Pakistan needing 319 runs to WIN and NewZealand requiring 8 wickets. The 1st session of the day belonged to NewZealand. After Spinner Ish Sodhi removed opener Imam ul Haq in the first hour, Michael Bracewell picked up Shan Masood and Babar Azam’s wickets. The celebration for the Kiwis though was short-lived. With Pakistan down 80/5, it seemed NewZealand were marching towards a victory.

However, Sarfaraz Ahmed had other ideas. He stitched together a 123-run stand with Shau Shakeel to save Pakistan the blushes. While Shakeel departed, Sarfaraz continued to attack Kiwi bowlers. However, with Sarafraz’s wicket, a Pakistan win was off the table.
