Captain Brendon McCullum's blazing century gave New Zealand a brisk start on the second day of the third and final Test against Pakistan in Sharjah as the death of Australian Phillip Hughes continued to cast a gloomy shadow over the match. Catch all the live cricket score and live updates of the match here: LIVE SCORECARD
The 33-year-old right-hander (100 not out) completed his 10th Test century, which came off 78 balls, as New Zealand reached 164 for one at tea, replying to Pakistan's first-innings total of 351.
In the morning, Pakistan, leading the series 1-0, appeared distracted by the death of Hughes and lost their last seven wickets for 66 runs as off-spinner Mark Craig (7-94) completed his first five-wicket haul in Tests.

Play on Day 2 comes to an end. The third session also belonged completely to the Kiwis and what a day it has been for them! They scored 85 runs off 20 overs and did not lose a single wicket. If New Zealand bat in the same way tomorrow, they will be able to surpass Pakistan's first innings score easily and get a healthy lead. An action packed day comes to an end. Well played McCullum and Williamson! That's all for the day! Do join us tomorrow for the third day of the Test match, until then it's good bye.
