New Zealand hammer Pakistan to draw series

New Zealand beat Pakistan by an innings and 80 runs to draw the three-Test series 1-1.

New Zealand have thrashed Pakistan by an innings and 80 runs to win the third Test and draw the series at 1-1.

After Pakistan posted 351 in their first innings, New Zealand responded with a huge score of 690 thanks to knocks of 202 and 192 from Brendon McCullum and Kane Williamson respectively.

Four other players recorded half-centuries for the Black Caps and one of them was Mark Craig, who finished the Test with 10 wickets as well after taking seven in the first innings and three in the second.

Asad Shafiq was Pakistan's lone star in the second innings with 137 runs. None of his teammates got to 50 as New Zealand bowled them out for 259 to clinch victory.

The two sides will now play a couple of Twenty20s before a five-game one-day international series.
