"It was the right decision to bring the seamer back on, but there's a huge difference between a man bowling 150 kph and a man bowling 135 kph. Look at the way Watson played that from right in front of his nose."

It's as though the pressure has eased as Sohail Khan replaces Afridi at the other end, and it's more like the Shane Watson we know as he pulls Sohail for four to move into double figures.

You've chosen Mitchell Starc as the best bowler of the World Cup so far with a whopping 33.8% of the vote.

Wahab Riaz, currently ruffling Australia's feathers with his fiery pace, was fourth with 8.2% behind Mohammad Shami (12.5) and Daniel Vettori (9.6). Thanks to everyone who voted - read the terms and conditions here.

Smith fends off a single, now there's a silly point as well as a short leg for the under-fire Watson. He forces another off his body - safely this time. Riaz comes down the wicket to exchange a word or two. Finally he manages to ease the pressure with a two through square leg. Riaz has 2-19 from five overs, but that doesn't begin to tell the tale of this spell.

Zigzag: That drop right there, is why Pakistan won't win the World Cup. Far too inconsistent in the field.

Ilyas Najib: Seeing that catch dropped is heartbreaking, a whole nation has been left deflated.

"Catches mean everything in this form of the game."

Smith plays the ball back to Riaz, who throws it staight back at the stumps (where it hits), even though Watson had made no attempt to leave his crease. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena comes to have a word with Riaz along the lines of "there's no need for that, old son".

"You could feel the Pakistani people standing ready to applaud. But they couldn't applaud, because the ball bounced straight out of Rahat's hands."

Watson pulls Riaz, it goes high in the air over long leg and is dropped by Rahat Ali! Huge chance - and he shelled it. Watson picks up a single. What a game.

On Twitter:, external While you're getting an eclipse in the UK, the sun is disappearing in the more normal manner in beautiful Adelaide.

The helmeted short leg stays in place for Afridi's second over, but ventures in a little closer. The nervy Watson is proceeding in singles, but Smith picks up his fifth boundary with a wristy on-drive. A couple of twos take the youngster (can I still call him that? Despite his youthful looks, he'll be 26 in June) to 44.

Former Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne:, external Pakistan quick bowlers are on fire here in Adelaide! Game on, I still feel Australia will win though, but it's nice to see Pakistan fire. Agree?

Watson, back on the crease fends another one off safely - then another short ball flies off the splice over slip and safely down to short third man. Get the fly slip in, Misbah!

"Shane Watson is not a player who usually takes a backward step against seam bowling, but he's playing these balls from well within the crease."

Riaz to charge in again, Misbah has handed the helmet to an underling who is standing well back at short leg, a couple of pitches' width away. Smith works a single, allowing Riaz to test Watson with the short ball again - and hits him on the glove as he tries to withdraw the bat. Gripping stuff.

"This is brilliant for World Cup cricket. Wahab is a competitor, he's the kind of person who lifts your team. Steve Smith is playing with total calmness though."

In yesterday's quarter-final between India and Bangladesh, there was a moment of controversy when Indian opener Rohit Sharma was caught on 90 but given a reprieve when Rubel Hossain's full toss was ruled to be a no-ball. Rohit went on to make 137 to propel India to a match-winning total of 302. Following the game, the International Cricket Council's Bangladeshi president Mustafa Kamal criticised the umpires' integrity and threatened to quit.

In response, chief executive David Richardson said in a statement: "The ICC has noted Mr Mustafa Kamal's comments, which are very unfortunate but made in his personal capacity. As an ICC president, he should have been more considerate in his criticism of ICC match officials, whose integrity cannot be questioned.

"The no-ball decision was a 50-50 call. The spirit of the game dictates that the umpire's decision is final and must be respected. Any suggestion that the match officials had 'an agenda' or did anything other than perform to the best of their ability are baseless and are refuted in the strongest possible terms."

Time for spin - Shahid Afridi, playing his last ODI today if Pakistan are knocked out, is on to bowl his array of fast leg breaks. After a single from Smith, a fielding helmet is summoned, and with the other fielders seemingly reluctant, it's 40-year-old captain Misbah-ul-Haq crouching down under the lid at short leg. Leading by example. And after all that delay, Australia effortlessly plunder some ones and twos - 142 more needed from 36 overs, and time for drinks - and some news from the ICC...

"The pitch is not doing much but Wahab Riaz is bowling with real hostility. It's easy to get the ball flying up above head height, but to get the ball whizzing through at neck and shoulder height takes real skill."
