Target 111
Lovely shot from Fatima Sana, who charges Rosemary Mair and clatters the ball square through point and to the rope.
These are two of Pakistan's most experienced players, so you'd think their hopes of victory rest on this partnership.

Pakistan might keep going for it, because in the worst-case scenario, they lose and their archrivals India will go out of the tournament.
Tash Farrant
England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
We feel a bit on the edge watching this. I wonder how India are watching this.
Or maybe Pakistan are still going for it? I don't know anymore...
Nida Dar goes for a pull that disappears fine and cannot be pulled back from the rope in time by Lea Tahuhu.
Came for the wicket, stayed for the celebration.
Don't make Lea Tahuhu angry.

Suddenly it's a different game, but luckily for New Zealand, they've already got five of Pakistan's wickets.
It looks like Pakistan have put the brakes on. They are unlikely to win quickly enough now to improve their net run-rate sufficiently anyway.
Pakistan have slipped behind where New Zealand were at this stage, plus, and perhaps crucially, have lost five more wickets.

What do Nida Dar and Fatima Sana do here? Play for the quick win or slow down and take their time?
Tash Farrant
England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Rosemary Mair knows how to pick the exact moment to go for that slower ball. It completely did the batter there.
It's interesting to see that Nida Dar is only coming in now with Pakistan five wickets down.
Sidra Ameen b Mair 0 (Pak 28-5)
I'm struggling to keep up here.
It is a brilliant delivery from Rosemary Mair. Full and straight at the toes of Sidra Ameen, who cannot jam her bat down in time and it smashes into middle stump
Pakistan fading fast.

That's a superb bit of work on the field by Lea Tahuhu who had a lot to do there. She had to get down, pick it up and throw underarm to clatter the stumps.
Iram run out (Tahuhu) 3 (Pak 23-4)
Out by a distance!
Brilliant work by Lea Tahuhu, who is mobbed by her team-mates.
She only had one stump to aim for running in from short third and nailed it.
Great fielding from Lea Tahuhu, who picks up and throws underarm in one movement for a direct hit.
Iram Javed could be in trouble here.
Tash Farrant
England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
I am just thinking at what point Pakistan are going to change their tactics. Fatima Sana has just come in and she's showing how attacking she is as a captain. I think they will be going for it.
Pakistan are right to be aggressive if they are to have any chance of reaching the semi-finals. But this is what can happen.

Pakistan are going to swing it. They will keep swinging until they can't do it anymore. That's my guess.
Sadaf b Jonas 2 (Pak 21-3)
Fran Jonas jumps for joy as she gives one a bit of air and tempts Sadaf Shamas to dance down the track. But it is you miss, I hit time as the ball smashes into the stumps.
New Zealand's Fran Jones bowls out Pakistan's Sadaf Shamas
A maiden in the powerplay! Eden Carson has a huge smile on her face and for good reason.
Pakistan are a little frantic out there, looking to leather every delivery out of the ground.
It's tight after three overs.
How key could those two early wickets be?
