Playing in his first Test in more than two years, Bond took three for 46 on the final day at University Oval to add to his first-innings five-wicket bag as the Black Caps battled to a first Test victory since defeating Bangladesh in Chittagong in October 2008.
The 34-year-old ended the match with figures of eight for 153, which included the crucial wickets of Mohammad Yousuf and Umar Akmal in the first innings and the match-turning wicket of Umar in Pakistan's second-innings run-chase.
