Paceman Kyle Jamieson continued an extraordinary start to his Test career, taking 6-48 as New Zealand beat Pakistan by an innings and 176 runs in the second test Wednesday to claim its fourth win in four tests at home this summer. Jamieson`s five-wicket haul was his fourth in six tests since his debut against India last year and followed his 5-69 in Pakistan`s first innings, giving him match figures of 11-117 in Christchurch. Pakistan was bowled out for 186 on the fourth day after starting its second innings 362-runs behind New Zealand. Its first innings of 297 " a solid performance after losing the toss  was eclipsed by New Zealand`s 659-9 declared which was built around Kane Williamson`s 238, Henry Nicholls` 157 and Daryl Mitchell`s unbeaten 102, his maiden century. In sweeping both of its home series this summer, New Zealand moved past Australia to attain the No. 1 ranking in tests for the first time. Much of the credit for that belonged to the tall right-armer Jamieson. "We had to graft away for decent periods of time and I guess as a bowling unit we were clinical across the day," Jamieson said.

"I think the way myself, Tim (Southee), Trent (Boult) and Matt (Henry) bowled kind of set us up to finish it off. "We`ve got the four-pronged attack and I see myself very much as the fourth prong." Jamieson claimed his first wicket of the second innings before stumps on Tuesday, leaving Pakistan 8-1 and New Zealand needing nine wickets to win. He then ran through the Pakistan top and middle order on Wednesday, using his weapons of menacing bounce and late swing, to achieve his best bowling figures in tests. Jamieson began his first-class career as an aspiring opening batsmen who bowled when needed. He developed his bowling, finding that at 2.03-meters (6`8?) he is able to generate real pace and bounce which has made him a terror to visiting batsmen on New Zealand`s green pitches. Jamieson hasn`t neglected his all-round abilities and, as well his 36 wickets at an average of 13 after six tests, he has a half century and a batting average of 56.5. He had scores of 44 and 49 in his first two innings in tests and took his first five-wicket bag, 5-45, in his second test against India. Returning to the New Zealand team this season, he scored an unbeaten 51 in the first test against the West Indies and took 5-34 in the first innings of the second test of that series.
