Guptill Ryder and tried to rebuild the innings, but they seemed ready to shoot after a watchful partnership of 36 run, Ryder was unlucky to be executed in line 22 when Wahab Riaz divert a right good time to drive in the stem with the drums and height.

Guptill then outlined his fifth half century with a single test, but threw his wicket away when he hit a full toss to Misbah Rehman-ul-Haq mid-off for the 50th
