Abrar Ahmed to Conway, out Bowled!! A ripper from Abrar to get the first wicket of the 2025 Champions Trophy!! Has his arms folded in his trademark celebration as his teammates engulf him. It was a carrom ball but didn't really turn, almost slid on with the arm and beat the outside edge of Conway to peg back the off stump. Almost like an inswinger from a fast bowler. Cheers go out at the Karachi Stadium. Pakistan have their first big moment of this Champions Trophy opener. Conway b Abrar Ahmed 10(17) [4s-2]

Kane Williamson c †Mohammad Rizwan b Naseem Shah 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50

OUT!!! WOAH!!!! Pakistan finally have their first breakthrough of the day and it comes after young spinner Abrar Ahmed removes Devon Conway for 10. Conway gets completely confused by the spin of Abrar. He tries to deliver a carrom ball but it does not turn much as it dodges Conway's bat and then rattles up the off stump. First wicket of Champions Trophy 2025 is here.

Daryl Mitchell, right handed bat, comes to the crease at number 4 for NZ

Kane now not happy with movement behind the bowler's arm. Babar Azam's now doing his best to keep the crowd in check

Williamson is out!!

Naseem has his tail up and the crowds are upbeat with every ball when the bowler is running in now. A palpable change in atmosphere here in Karachi
