Going into the second Test with an all-seam attack, Pakistan won the toss on a green pitch, under overcast skies, and picked up two New Zealand wickets in a truncated first session. New Zealand batted positively, going after anything marginally loose, and scored 77 runs in 21 overs before rain forced an early lunch, 15 minutes before schedule. Jeet Raval carried on from his impressive debut in Christchurch to remain not out on 35, while Ross Taylor seemed unbothered by the pterygium in his left eye while rushing to 29 off 20 balls.
