Since this is a practice game, no presentations, so we wind it up here. We will be back with more coverage tomorrow. Till then eat well and sleep tight. See you soon. Bye.
Kane Williamson: Just great to get through with some batting in the middle which is really nice. [on the injured knee] It has held up pretty well and some icing now which is a part of the process. Wasn’t a reality 5 months ago, was fortunate with the recovery and nice to be named in the squad. Went pretty well and nice to build on that. A fantastic hit-out. Pakistan are an outstanding side. It is an exercise and nice to compete and do all those things. There’s always things to work on, great batting performance on a really good surface. We head off to a different surface against a different opposition and we look forward to it ahead of our first game.
