Pakistan skipper Misbah ul-Haq fell agonisingly short of a century when he was trapped lbw on 99 as New Zealand clawed their way back into the second Test on Monday.

Pakistan were all out for 376 in reply to the Black Caps' 356, leaving the Test evenly poised after New Zealand received a lucky break when an umpiring error cost Younis his wicket, breaking a 142-run partnership with Misbah.
