A great over from Tendai Chatara, who has impressed every time has had the ball in his hands today. Only four runs come off it, plus the magic wicket of Misbah-ul-Haq.

"That was a soft dismissal. But Misbah had been a lone warrior and credit to him for fighting and doing the best he can. Unfortunately he just has not got the batting talent around him.

"Even against a side like Zimbabwe - who have bowled really well in fairness - Pakistan have just not cracked it. They need to be better than they have been."

"See, that's what happens when you attack," is probably what Misbah-ul-Haq says as he sits down next to his team-mates. His innings is over, he takes on Tendai Chatara and can only pick out Sean Williams at the long-on boundary.

But Misbah's 73 has at least given his side a chance. Will it be enough? We will soon find out.

Tinashe Panyangara had bowled a tight spell earlier in the match. Not this over though. Wahab Riaz connects with a pull shot off the first delivery over the fielder at short fine leg for four.

Wahab then tries a baseball-style slog away for four, but can only get one, before a similar shot later on hits the rope. At least they are attacking now, but remember they were only on 33-2 after 15 overs. Will that snail-like pace at the start prove costly for them? Ten off the over. Nineteen off the last two. Attack, attack, attack.

"Can Zimbabwe finish it off now, that's the question? These two Pakistan batsmen are well-set and ready to launch."

So, just what is a good total in the World Cup? Pakistan should reach 200, which against a side like Zimbabwe, may just be competitive. Especially as their captain Elton Chigumbura may not be fit enough to bat.

The Pakistan fans are determined to enjoy it as much as they can. The flags are waving as Wahab Riaz steers a low full toss away to the boundary. Nine off the over. Better from them.

"Pakistan's problem is that they've been rebuilding all day. There has been a lot of talk about the power play and the ball going all round the park. Chris Gayle did it and AB De Villiers. There has been so much inspiring play.

"But you can also get it wrong and that's what has happened to Pakistan today."

Pakistan may as well just go on the attack here. Blocking shots when you are on 183-6 with less than seven overs left is of no use to anyone. Sean Williams's last over is his first and only maiden of the match. He ends with 2-48 off his overs.

Nicely timed from Wahab, who pushes one away for three in the gap between point and cover. He had only scored seven runs in his first two innings at the World Cup. He now is on 16 off 17 here.

"No one from Pakistan has ignited the innings. Pakistan fans were expecting their team to get back on track in this game but oh dear, it is not working out like that.

"If Misbah gets out then Pakistan end up with 210, so maybe he's just making sure he stays there so he can express himself and hit some boundaries in the last three or five overs."

Four pushed singles off the first four balls of the 42nd over. Misbah-ul-Haq then pulls one, but doesn't get enough on it and has to settle for two.

Zimbabwe will be happy with only six off the over. We are just waiting for Pakistan to accelerate. But then again, we've been waiting for that for most of the match.

Ilyas Najib: I keep telling myself Pakistan will turn this around, but I just can't seem to believe in the team. Supporting Pakistan is like a roller coaster, so many highs and many many lows. Having watched every World Cup since 92, I believe this is by far the weakest Pakistani squad I've seen.

Jay: It's such a tragedy for Pakistan that nobody bats well when Misbah bats well. Or when he doesn't bat well.

Tendai Chatara has been the best bowler for Zimbabwe, but registers two wides in the 41st over. Wahab Riaz then gets a thick edge to send it through an unmanned slip area, safely for four. Nine off the over. Chatara's most expensive of the match.

You get the feeling Pakistan's World Cup hopes could be resting on what they do in the next 10 overs. They have lost twice already and still have a match against the impressive South Africa to come so a victory today is absolutely essential.

We are in the batting powerplay, but only four come from the 40th over, including a two for Wahab Riaz, clipped away through backward square leg.

"Mupariwa has got no pace about him, he's just a dibbly-dobbler kind of bowler. But he consistently puts it on a great length and it's no wonder he's got such good figures."

*In case you're not up with your cricket slang, dibbly-dobbly means a medium or slow-medium pace bowler. So now you know...

What Pakistan certainly don't need is a comedy run out. That is what nearly happens at the end of the 39th over, but Zimbabwe cannot hit the stumps, which would have left new batsman Wahab Riaz facing an early dismissal.

"Mupariwa has really celebrated that wicket, he loves it. Mind you given that's his first wicket for six years no wonder he's happy with it. He's punching the air.

"Maqsood tried to turn it down the legside but it was a bit slower than he thought and the ball ballooned up the pitch. This Pakistan innings is just falling to pieces."

He was dropped in the last over, but now he is out. A brisk 21 off 17 balls from Sohaib Maqsood ends when he attempts to whip it away through midwicket, but can only send it back where it came, straight into the hands of Tawanda Mupariwa.

A missed chance for Zimbabwe. Sohaib Maqsood slashes wildly at one but Craig Irvine gets his hand to the ball, but cannot hold on.

It is instantly costly as Maqsood hits a four over the cover fielder, and then adds another three with a shot past a diving fielder at cover.

Misbah-ul-Haq has had a fantastic career. A Test average of nearly 50, and he is playing in his 158th one-day international, although one thing he has not got is a ODI century. Well, he is inching ever closer to that. With one more run, tucked away to the right of short midwicket.
