Abdur RaufPakistan bowlers had an impressive outing in the New Zealand tour opener at Queenstown. The New Zealand Invitation XI led by Grant Elliott was bowled out for 234 with seamer Abdur Rauf taking an impressive 4 for 43 in 14.1 overs. Mohammad Asif, Yasir Arafat and leggie Danish Kaneria picked up a couple of wickets each.

The Pakistanis had a bad start though with the bat losing Khurram Manzoor cheaply. They finished Day 1 of the 3-day match at 14 for 1 in 9 overs of batting. Imran Farhat on 10 and Fawad Alam on 0 are at the crease for the tourists. This match could be a good eposure for young Umar Akmal who is lining up for a Test Match Debut at Dunedin.
