New Zealand recovered after Shaheen Afridi's early strikes as Kane Williamson inches towards another Test centuryNew Zealand had another commanding day at the office as they finished on the top after the first day of the first test against Pakistan. Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi pegged the Kiwis back with two early strikes as New Zealand were 13/2. On a greenish surface, New Zealand had to grind to create the scoring opportunities and the ever dependable duo of Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson did just that. Both Taylor and Williamson took their time initially and saw off Shaheen's opening burst. Williamson stayed unbeaten on 94 as he inched closer to another Test century.
