    West Indies call for a review when a caught behind decision against Irfan is given not out. There does appear to be a sound, but nothing on Snicko. The big man survives, but it's all delaying the inevitable. A maiden over for Andre Russell.

    "You don't know at this stage of the tournament how important a final stand of 30 could be. One team hoping Pakistan get a bit closer to West Indies might be Ireland, because this win will be a huge boost to West Indies' net run rate."

    There's some big boys in this match, with 6ft 7ins Sulieman Benn delivering the ball to the 7ft 1ins frame of Pakistan's number 11 Mohammad Irfan. The match is almost done and dusted now.

    Shahid Afridi's batting is like a cheap firework these days. More often than not, he fizzles out and leaves you disappointed. The latest effort has no spark and ends tamely when he chips a low full toss from the spinner to a fielder just inside the circle at short mid-wicket.

    Assuming West Indies win, Jason Holder will become the youngest captain to win a World Cup game at 23 years and 108 days, beating Shakib Al Hasan who was 23 years and 338 days when he led Bangladesh to victory over Ireland at Mirpur in 2011.

  6. Pak 155-8 (Russell 7-1-33-3)published at 04:58 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    This game is surely over bar the shouting now. Sohail Khan is new to the crease, but with 156 needed off 84 balls there seems little hope of a successful run-chase.

    "It's petering out nicely as far as West Indies are concerned. They were looking in a certain amount of disarray coming in to the tournament, but they're going to pick up a win. It will relieve the tension in the West Indies camp, and when they play without tension they can be dangerous."

  8. WICKETpublished at 04:54 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Andre Russell picks up his third wicket of the day, to go with his blistering 42 off 13 balls earlier, when Wahab Riaz inside edges behind to wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin. The ball died just before the keeper snaffled it, and the third umpire's checks conclude it was a perfectly fine catch.

  9. Pak 154-7 (target 311)published at 04:50 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    What is it with these modern bats? Umar Akmal changed his today and now Shahid Afridi calls for a new stick of his own after driving a single into the outfield. Wahab Riaz steals the strike with a single of his own at the end of the over. This match is petering out now.

    Andre Russell is proving to be a fine all-round cricketer, and he worries tailender Wahab Riaz with some fast, short stuff. He also bowls a bumper at Shahid Afridi but the right-hander guides it over the vacant slip region for four. Another half-tracker is pulled for a single into the outfield.

  11. Pak 146-7 (Benn 6-0-32-0)published at 04:44 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    England play Scotland on this very same wicket, and they will watch with interest the spin, bounce and control Sulieman Benn has given West Indies. Could there be a recall in the offing for James Tredwell? Shahid Afridi plays two false strokes as he tries to belt the ball out of the ground. Go big or go home.

    "I'm not sure if Shahid Afridi is really capable of playing those amazing innings that characterised his early career."

  13. Pak 141-7 (target 311)published at 04:41 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Shahid Afridi is in decent form with the bat at the moment - he scored three half-centuries at more than a run-a-ball against New Zealand in December and January, also chipping in with 49. You sense this is beyond him now though, following the loss of Umar Akmal. Wahab Riaz is the new batsman for the boys in green.

    "Akmal hit it straight to the man at backward square with a semi-pickup shot - he didn't get any real power on it. They've lost another wicket just as they were starting to threaten."

    Just when you begin to sense even the slightest chance for Pakistan, they lose a wicket. This time Umar Akmal chips the ball into the leg side and Dwayne Smith snaffles a simple chance running in from the deep.

  16. Pak 133-6 (target 311)published at 04:34 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Sulieman Benn is tasked with sending down the first over of the powerplay and he does a good job. Two dots and then Umar Akmal goes inside-out to ease two through the covers. A single to long-on, then a potential run-out chance but Afridi gets back in the nick of time.

    Pakistan have called for the batting powerplay. Boom Boom is ready to unleash his worst on the Windies.

    "Afridi batted higher than this once, but as the years advanced he has drifted down this order. But he can do it."

    Remember that sign I mentioned before, which read 'Misbah, please do something'? Well, Misbah's name has been crossed out and replaced with 'God'. Shahid Afridi is still there, though, and anything can happen as he clips Darren Sammy for four down to fine leg. With the keeper up, Boom Boom then opens the face and guides another boundary down to third man. The third boundary in the over arrives with a lofted sweep shot. Motoring.

  20. Pak 118-6 (target 311)published at 04:26 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Umar Akmal is almost smiling as he takes guard for each delivery. He stands with his eyes fixed on the bowler, banging his bat into the ground and with a concentrated grin on his face. Despite their side facing a crushing defeat, the Pakistan supporters in the crowd continue to enjoy themselves. Two from the over - a wide and a leg bye.
