New Zealand's young pace sensation Kyle Jamieson went berserk over a rather inexperienced Pakistan batting line-up as he followed his fifer in the first innings with another five-wicket haul in the second to decimate the Men in Green. Courtesy of the Kiwi pacer's heroics and skipper Kane Williamson's magnificent double-century, New Zealand thrashed Pakistan by an innings and 176 runs in the second Test to secure a 2-0 whitewash.

Kyle Jamieson destroys Pakistan with maiden 10 wicket haul

Pakistan posted a total of 297 in their first innings. Jamieson was the pick of the bowlers who registered stunning figures of 5/69. In response, New Zealand put up a gigantic total of 659/6 riding on the back of Williamson's fine double ton (238) and Henry Nicholls (157) and Daryl Mitchell's (102*) splendid centuries.

Pakistan had a mammoth task of chasing New Zealand's huge score and the visitors needed an inspiring effort from their batsmen to take the game to the second innings. However, Jamieson wasn't in a mood to relent as he once again ran through Pakistan's batting line up and bagged another fifer. Pakistan were eventually bowled out for 186 with Jamieson grabbing 6/48 and also registering the first 10- wicket haul of his career.
