Stunning efforts from debutants Colin de Grandhomme and Jeet Raval have put the Black Caps in control of their first cricket Test against Pakistan at Christchurch's Hagley Oval.
The New Zealanders have ended the day on 104 for 3, after earlier dismissing the visitors for just 133 runs.

de Grandhomme claimed six for 41 in the best haul ever for a New Zealand bowler on debut.
He is also the eighth New Zealander to take a five wicket bag on debut.
Pace bowlers Tim Southee and Trent Boult backed him up well, taking two wickets each.
Pakistan looked out of sorts on the Christchurch pitch, with captain Misbah ul-Haq top-scoring for the visitors with just 31 runs.
After tea, Jeet Raval opened the batting with Tom Latham, and while Latham was soon dismissed for just one run, Raval went on to reach 55 not out.
