Black Caps captain Kane Williamson has stressed improvement if his side are to build upon their famous test victory over Pakistan this week.
The dramatic four-run victory gave New Zealand their first test win away from home since 2014, but the fact they needed a Pakistan batting collapse to accomplish it has left Williamson pushing for more in the second test which starts in Dubai tomorrow night.
"It is important we look to build on a number of parts going into the next game for sure.
"We've got a lot more tough cricket to come and it's important we learn from some parts of this game that we will need to build on."
While ecstatic with the fight of his side in the fourth innings, and the match-winning performances of bowlers Ajaz Patel and Neil Wagner, Williamson is aware the game could have gone either way.
