At the same venue but on a different pitch, New Zealand will also look for a win after going without one in its last five Tests. New Zealand also arrived in Pakistan on the back of a 3-0 drubbing by England. A draw last week having stopped a run of defeats for Pakistan and New Zealand, both sides will look to go one better in the second and final Test in Karachi starting Monday.

Pakistan will be hoping 2023 turns out to be a more successful year for them after they finished the previous year on a low in Test cricket at home.

New chief selector Shahid Afridi and a former PCB curator were overlooking the pitch preparation for the past two days. The flat and dry pitches remained a focal point throughout Pakistan’s home Tests. "The preparations are shorter than normal, obviously we had just a two-day turnaround. Three sides ranked above us played in Pakistan that provided us a huge learning opportunity.” The Kiwis were on course at 61-1 in the eighth over before play was stopped. "We need to take things session-by-session and day-by-day.

Both sides are highly unlikely to make the WTC final, but New Zealand will look to make it three unbeaten away series against Pakistan in a row.

A fresh pitch is expected for the final game, with conditions similar to what they were for the first Test. Pakistan did indicate they wanted to prepare a bouncier surface for the second Test, but New Zealand's spin attack needn't worry too much. He would dance down the track to spin in each innings, only to be stumped in the first and caught at mid-on the second. [first Test](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-in-pakistan-2022-23-1339576/pakistan-vs-new-zealand-1st-test-1339609/full-scorecard), there was just enough time for the visitors to show their superior levels of patience with the bat, and greater potency with the ball. The good news is there doesn't appear to be a glaring technical flaw - he has got starts in nearly each of those innings; only once in the last seven has he faced fewer than 20 deliveries. It feels like something of a free hit with the series trophy the enticingly dangled carrot at the end of it.

New Zealand were in a good position to win the first Test on the final day with Pakistan on 77-2, needing 97 runs to avoid an innings defeat.

"We need to credit New Zealand with the way they played and dominated," said Azam, who finished the year as the highest scorer in Tests with 1,184 in nine matches.

Pakistan also batted brilliantly in the first innings, with Babar Azam and Agha Salam both getting centuries to help Pakistan total 438. Devon Conway fell eight runs short of his century, and Ish Sodhi also contributed with a solid 65.

A Rotorua-based research institute hopes to end the country's reliance on imported fossil fuels by establishing a New Zealand bio-energy industry.

"There's an equivalent amount of C02 emitted from the marine sector as there is from the aviation sector," Bennett said. "There are some parts of the world now that are building plants to produce aviation fuels from woody biomass, and New Zealand is looking at maybe importing that technology," Bennett said. "We are able to produce liquids from wood, and those liquids are getting closer and closer to the sort of fuels that are used in the market at the moment."
