Watch the spell here:
Shah entered the match with 181 wickets from 31 Test matches. He made Test debut in October 2014 against Australia at Dubai.
But what came as a surprise was Shah 's feat of emulating legendary Indian spinner Anil Kumble – 10 wickets in a day.
Later in the day, Shah took two Kiwi wickets – those of Raval and Williamson – in the third innings of the match to become the first bowler since the former India captain to take 10 wickets in a day's play.
Kumble took all ten Pakistani wickets on February 7, 1999 in Delhi to become only the second bowler to take a ten-wicket haul in an innings after Jim Laker of England.

The visitors won the first Test by runs in a thriller with debutant Ajaz Patel producing a five-wicket haul in an innings.
