New Zealand openers Devon Conway and Tom Latham blunted Pakistan bowlers to guide their side to a solid 165 without loss at close on the second day of the first Test in Karachi on Tuesday. 

Conway reached 82 at close and was ably supported by Latham who was unbeaten on 78. The tourists are now 273 runs behind Pakistan’s total of 438 which was spiced up by a brilliant maiden hundred from Agha Salman. Conway was lucky to survive a caught behind dismissal on 57 off spinner Nauman Ali. Pakistan did not challenge umpire Aleem Dar’s decision but television replays showed the batter had edged the ball.
