Scorecard

Tim McIntosh, on the day New Zealand's Test side was announced, continued his pre-series form with an unbeaten century against the touring Pakistanis in Queenstown. Resuming the final day on 7, with a draw the most likely result, McIntosh batted his way to 131 from 196 deliveries in 291 minutes as the New Zealand Invitational XI drew the practice match ahead of the bigger picture.

Daniel Flynn, also included in the Test side, followed up his first-innings 49 with 56. He and McIntosh put on 137 for the second wicket. The captain for this match, Grant Elliott, picked up some batting practice with an unbeaten 22.

As many as nine bowlers were used by Mohammad Yousuf but none could dislodge McIntosh.

The first Test begins on November 24 in Dunedin.
