Pakistan unchanged for all-important third Test

The first Test in Abu Dhabi was one of the closest in Test history, New Zealand holding on to win by four runs after making Pakistan go from 130/3 to 171 all out.

But Pakistan have hit back since, winning the second Test in Dubai by an innings and 16 runs, Yasir Shah doing the star turn for them by picking up 14 wickets across the two innings.

The third Test, to start in Abu Dhabi on 3 December, will be the decider, and Pakistan have put their faith on the same 15 to do the job for them.
