Mohammad Yousuf hits out in Napier
Yousuf hit eight boundaries and a six in his 212-ball knock

Four half-centuries from Pakistan's top order ensured the third Test against New Zealand remains finely balanced.

Mohammad Yousuf fell 11 runs short of his 25th Test century as the tourists ended a rain interrupted day four in Napier on 347-4, 99 runs in front.

Imran Farhat added 67 to his first-innings century while Salman Butt (66) and Faisal Iqbal (67) impressed.

Umar Ukmal remains unbeaten on 48 while the unlikely Martin Guptill (2-28) was New Zealand's most effective bowler.
