[SID_NY]

1st inning is already done. No thread yet?

Dangerous NZ scored 209.

Pakistan Killer Taylor again scored highest.

Lets see how our batsmen respond.

Good bowling to restrict them at 209 :k:

In 10 overs Pak 45/0.

Its v. important that Fakhar Zaman regains his form. A long way to go.

Imam struck a blow. Prayers for his health and recovery.

Ferguson to Imam-ul-Haq, no run, Imam has been struck on the grille by a bouncer. Or has that got a bit of his chin as well? He’s on the floor now, but he is conscious. That bouncer climbed up sharply as he looked to hook it. Slow-mo suggests it his his grille on the side of the head and deflected onto his bicep. So there’s no direct contact to the face or head. That’s a good sign.

he grille seems to have rattled his throat vibrated vigorously and that’s what might have caused the shock for Imam. He’s still on the floor and is chatting with the phsyio…he’s on his feet now. A bit dazed. Has put his glasses back on and now they’re deliberating on whether he should continue. Seems like Fakhar is telling his partner not to be shy of retiring. Williamson now checking on him as well…oh and he’s hobbled a bit and lost his balance now. The physio holds him as he veers backwards and umpire Raza steps in aggressively and signals to the physio to take him off. That’s the sane thing to do right now. He’s walkng off. Could be a concussion, but he’s good to walk off.

This is serious.

Babar Azam has replaced him.

wish him quick recovery

And Pakistan wins comprehensively.

Credit goes to bowlers though.

Cricinfo: PCB confirms that Imam-ul-Haq's scans are all clear, and he will remain under observation from the team physio. Thank goodness for that.

Btw, Pakistan’s first ODI win against New Zealand since December 2014.

Another accomplishment under Captain Sarfraz.
