A hard day's work is over for Henry Nicholls who beat well but could not pass the second test in a fifth day.
This half-hour turned his head to another try as Shah faced off a triple-wicket girl, including Tom Latham, Ross Taylor and Henry Nicholls, the top three scorers of the Black Caps in the second run.
New Zealand lost 7-11 in 39 balls and it was essentially a finished match, 90 and a deficit of 328. In contrast, Latham, Taylor and Nicholls raised a significant second hand, showed more of intention and have made Shah appear distinctly average at times. .
Williamson, in the first round of the 8th to the 41st round of Shah: "It was great. Some of the deliveries he made to the guys, their first or second delivery, were very difficult to negotiate. Doing it so early in the heats is a big challenge for us. "
Taylor's dancing feet for Shah, on a pair of first balls in his second run, showed what could be done to fight him. Both left-handers Latham and Nicholls effectively used the ball's sweep and pivoted with Taylor.
In the first New Zealand test victory in Abu Dhabi, Shah had eight for the match, but was eclipsed by Ajaz Patel, left arm orthodox, who took seven and led them to a shock victory on fourth day.
"It was a great match in Abu Dhabi, one of our best tests and extremely exciting to be part of the group.To come here, it was not our best performance by any means," he said. Williamson.

The Black Caps skipper, Kane Williamson, congratulates the man of the match, Yasir Shah, and must now try to formulate a plan to cancel it.
"But we know how difficult Pakistan is to play in its conditions, it is important that we are better and that we learn from this experience.Pakistan will be confident.We hope to strengthen the confidence we had gained in of the second half of this game., also the effort with the ball that dressmakers and spinners showed in those first innings. "
Williamson will desperately want to win the draw to try to grab the batting control first, which they could not do when they were all tied at the first test. An incredible collapse in Pakistan and Patel's calm saved them.
Arthur, meanwhile, was ecstatic about the "very clinical" performance on his side that gave the Black Caps a clear plan to copy.

Where did it go? The Ross Taylor 82 was a brilliant light in the second round of the Black Caps, but they needed someone who is doing well to avoid defeat.
"It's not a magic to win a UAE test – you need big first rounds and it will always take a little longer than normal sites around the world (they scored at 2.5 years old). in their first run of the 418-5 declared).
"We went so well: the first few runs, we played very well, we were patient, we maintained the pressure for long periods of time and it is very satisfying."
