Ross Taylor scored 94 and Martin Guptill 60 as New Zealand overcame the loss of a wicket first ball to reach 276 for six by stumps on the opening day of the first cricket test against Pakistan on Tuesday. Teenage paceman Mohammad Aamer bowled Tim McIntosh with the first ball of the three-test series, firing a fast yorker through the opener's timid defensive shot to give Pakistan a perfect start after it had won the toss and bowled.
