Pakistan lost opener Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood Tuesday after a chaotic start to their innings before reaching 62-2 at tea on the second day of the second Test against New Zealand in Karachi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
At the break, Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam were at the crease on 17 and four respectively after New Zealand's tail-enders lifted their team to a handy 449 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan now trail by 387 with eight wickets intact on a slow National Stadium pitch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The two-match series is tied after the first Test, also in Karachi, ended in a draw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shafique was the first Pakistan wicket to fall when he pulled pacer Matt Henry's short delivery straight to the hands of Ajaz Patel for 19.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shan Masood continued his miserable form, cutting spinner Patel to point fielder Devon Conway on 20.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Henry and Patel had combined earlier to lift New Zealand from 345-9 with an invaluable 104 runs for the 10th wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Henry smashed eight boundaries and two sixes in his career-best 68 not out, improving his previous high against Australia at Christchurch in 2016 by six runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Patel also bettered his previous Test-best of 20 -- against England last year -- by scoring 35 before he was the last wicket to fall, caught off spinner Abrar Ahmed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Naseem took the day's first wicket when he bowled Ish Sodhi for 11 with a ball that cut through sharply.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Blundell, who was 30 overnight, reached his fifty with a boundary and a single off Abrar Ahmed. He hit six boundaries in his 51 before being bowled by Ahmed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The spinner then had Tim Southee stumped for ten, before Henry and Patel prolonged the innings, helping New Zealand cross the 400-mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
