Hamilton: New Zealand reached 77-2 against Pakistan before rain forced day one of the second and final Test to be abandoned after just 21 overs in Hamilton on Friday.

The players took lunch 15 minutes early as the skies opened, with Jeet Raval on 35 and Ross Taylor on 29 after the early loss of Tom Latham and Kane Williamson.

Three hours later, the umpires tired of waiting for the rain to clear and scratched the final session.

Play will resume half-an-hour early at on Saturday.

Brief scores
New Zealand 1st innings 77-2 (J Raval 35', R Taylor 29; Amir 1-15, Sohail 1-35) vs Pakistan
