New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson praised his team's never-say-die approach and described a tension-packed narrow four-run win over Pakistan in the first match on Monday a "good advertisement for Test cricket."
"It certainly was dramatic," said Williamson. "Throughout the four days both teams were put under pressure. I think at the end of the day it was a great advertisement for Test cricket."
"I think the fighting attributes of this team really shone through and certainly today, it's important to build on a number of parts to go in to the next game, for sure."
Williamson, who now has nine wins in his 18 Tests in charge, described the win as "one of his best."
