Poor visibility ended a thrilling final session of cricket in the drawn first Test on Friday after New Zealand had threatened to snatch victory following Pakistan's daring declaration (311-8 declared).

Chasing 138 to win in 15 overs, New Zealand was at 61-1 in only the eighth over of the second innings when the Test finished early because of bad light.

Pakistan resumed after tea at 249-7 in its second innings - a lead of 75 - and Kiwi leg-spinner Ish Sodhi (6-86) threatened to set his team up for victory.
