PAKISTAN needs 274 runs on the final day to win the second test and complete a 2-0 series sweep against New Zealand after bowling the hosts out for 293 late on the fourth day.
Umar Gul ripped through New Zealand's tail, taking two wickets in two balls, as the hosts lost four wickets for seven runs late yesterday.
Last man Chris Martin faced Gul's hat-trick seeking delivery and just about kept it out with an inside edge behind square to the cheers of the small Wellington crowd.
Tim Southee then smashed two sixes before Gul had Martin caught behind for one.
Southee ended 22 not out, while Gul finished with 4-61.
"Everyone in the changing room is incredibly excited about what tomorrow brings," New Zealand opener Brendon McCullum said.
"To be able to turn up on the fifth day of a test match not knowing whether you're going to win or lose and having the opportunity to win is pretty exciting."
