Pacer Kyle Jamieson continued an extraordinary start to his Test career, taking six for 48 as New Zealand beat Pakistan by an innings and 176 runs in the second and final Test to claim their fourth win in four tests at home this season.

Jamieson’s five-wicket haul was his fourth in six Tests since his debut against India last year and followed his five for 69 in Pakistan’s first innings, giving him match figures of 11 for 117 in this game.

Pakistan were bowled out for 186 on the fourth day after starting their second innings 362 runs behind New Zealand.

In sweeping both their home series this season, New Zealand moved past Australia to attain the No. 1 ranking in Tests for the first time.

Much of the credit for that belonged to the tall right-arm quick Jamieson. He said: “I think the way myself, Tim (Southee), Trent (Boult) and Matt (Henry) bowled, it kind of set us up to finish it off. We’ve got the four-pronged attack and I see myself very much as the fourth prong.”

Jamieson claimed his first wicket of the second innings before stumps on Tuesday, leaving Pakistan 8/1 and New Zealand needing nine wickets to win. He then ran through the Pakistan top and middle order, using his weapons of menacing bounce and late swing to achieve his best bowling figures in Tests.

Jamieson began his first-class career as an aspiring opening batsmen. He developed his bowling, finding that at his height (six-feet eight inches), he’s able to generate real pace and bounce which has made him a terror to visiting batsmen on New Zealand’s green pitches.
