Abu Dhabi: New Zealand were dismissed for 262 in their first innings on the third day of the first Test against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
Tom Latham hit a career best 103 for his maiden hundred while Corey Anderson (48) and BJ Watling (42) put some resistance against some fine pace bowling by Rahat Ali who finished with 4-22 and spinner Zulfiqar Babar took 3-79.
The Kiwis fell 105 runs short of avoiding the follow-on after Pakistan piled up a huge 566-3 declared in their first innings.
Pakistan were 15 for no loss at stumps having stretched their overall lead to 319 runs, although they will be without opener Ahmed Shehzad, who suffered a fractured skull in the first innings, for the rest of the match.
Azhar Ali was unbeaten on nine with Mohammad Hafeez on five as they survived the last half an hour without alarm.
Playing only his fifth test, Latham added 83 runs with Corey Anderson (48) for the fourth wicket in the lone show of Kiwi top-order resistance at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
BJ Watling (42) and Ish Sodhi (25) dug in lower down but could not make up for the failure of the top and middle order.
Left-arm spinner Babar dealt two body blows in the morning session, removing New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum (18) and Ross Taylor for a duck.
McCullum edged a sharp turning delivery to Younus Khan at slip but stood his ground, unsure if the catch was cleanly taken, but he had to go after TV replays confirmed it had been held.
He was soon joined in the pavilion by Kane Williamson, who blocked a Rahat Ali delivery but could not stop the ball from bouncing back and hitting the stumps.
Like McCullum, Taylor also pushed at a Babar delivery with firm hands and Asad Shafiq collected the edge at gully.
Latham and Anderson arrested the slide with a resolute partnership before the latter chopped a Rahat delivery on to his stumps.
Latham survived a couple of close calls to reach his maiden test century which he brought up driving Babar down the ground for a boundary.
His five-hour vigil was brought to an end by Rahat's inswinging yorker which trapped him in front and New Zealand used the review option but could not get the lbw decision overturned.
