Chasing a meager target of 105 runs for victory, New Zealand reached the target with two wickets down, with debutant Jeet Raval hitting the winning runs. Raval finished on 36 and Henry Nicholls on 0. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson completed his 24th test 50, before he was caught sweeping behind square with the scores level. Williamson's 61 overtook Raval's first innings 55 as the top score in a low scoring contest. The win is New Zealand's ninth in 54 tests against Pakistan, and sixth on home soil, the first since Dunedin in 2009. Pakistan, who started the day at a parlous 129 for seven, leading by 62, were dismissed for 171, with seamer Sohail Khan the top scorer with a test-best 40. Seamers Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Neil Wagner all picked up three wickets apiece. New Zealand lost opener Tom Latham before lunch to Mohammad Amir, but Williamson was in good touch and Raval completed a highly encouraging debut. His fellow debutant Colin De Grandhomme was awarded the man of the match award for his seven-wicket haul. The second and final test starts at Hamilton's Seddon Park on Friday.
