Well, this means that New Zealand cannot win the t20 series from here. They will still have an opportunity to draw the series in Rawalpindi again on Monday. We will be back with the coverage for the final ODI. Do not forget to tune in and also switch tabs for the live IPL encounter between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders. Until then, this is Raghav Tikmany and Pragadeesh signing off, adios!
The match has been officially called off now. After the hailstorm, it was not feasible to get the ground ready for the game and the umpires have called it a day.
Hailstorm in Rawalpindi without Alex Hales. #PAKvNZ
22:29 Local, 22:59 IST: Everything is happening here in the Pindi Cricket Stadium. There is a hailstorm and everyone in the stands is looking for cover. The groundstaff are shielding themselves with the cover.
22:25 Local, 22:55 IST: Oh, dear! It is absolutely pouring now in Rawalpindi and the play has been called off. The groundstaff are in with the covers and we could be in for a long delay here.
Ravindra never really looked comfortable today, that was a poor knock from him today.
18.5 Haris Rauf to Rachin Ravindra, MILES IN THE AIR...TAKEN! Pitched up and it's a slow off-cutter from Rauf. Ravindra tries to go downtown but skies it in the air. Babar Azam at extra cover runs forward, settles under it and takes a well-judged catch
Rachin Ravindra c Babar Azam b Haris Rauf 8 (12b, 0x4, 0x6)
18.4 Haris Rauf to Mark Chapman, gives room and Rauf follows him with a low full toss. Chapman works it to sweeper cover for a single
18.3 Haris Rauf to Mark Chapman, SIX! CRUNCHING SOUND OF THE BAT THOUGH! Back of a length angling in, Chapman marches down the track, picks the length early to deposit this over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. This is scintillating stuff from the youngster
18.2 Haris Rauf to Rachin Ravindra, back of a length angling in, Ravindra was late to offer a shot on this occasion and the ball thuds the thigh pad. They sneak a leg-bye
It is pouring here in Rawalpindi! The umpires believe the game can still continue as it isn't heavy.
18.1 Haris Rauf to Rachin Ravindra, slow off-cutter on a good length, Ravindra is early into his shot and gets beaten
Some fine death bowling from Shaheen here. He has nailed every single yorker and also changed his pace from time to time to deceive the batters.

17.6 Shaheen Afridi to Rachin Ravindra, yorker length angling on off-stump, Ravindra digs it to the off-side for a single
17.5 Shaheen Afridi to Rachin Ravindra, pitched up on a fuller length angling outside off-stump, Chapman swings but could only connect the fresh air
Good mix up from Shaheen, Ravindra does well to dig out the yorker.
17.4 Shaheen Afridi to Rachin Ravindra, right in the blockhole angling outside off-stump, Ravindra digs it wide of long-on for a couple
17.3 Shaheen Afridi to Mark Chapman, HUGE APPEAL..NOT GIVEN! Babar Azam has taken a review. Fuller delivery angling on middle and leg-stump, Chapman couldn't get bat down on time as the ball tails in to hits the back pad
There is no bat involved confirms the ultra edge. It's pitching in line, impact is in line and it's clipping the leg-stump but turns out to be an umpire's call
17.2 Shaheen Afridi to Mark Chapman, FOUR! Excellent placement. Chapman is on a mission to score boundaries at every ball. Length delivery outside off-stump, Chapman cuts it wide of backward point and gets a boundary
