    Everything hinges on Ultra-edge.

  2. Australia review

    Wahab Riaz plays at one that lifts outside off and Alex Carey goes up for caught behind.

    Not given.

    Aaron Finch looks like he won't review and waits until one second to go before calling for it!

  3. Vic Marks

    Five an over off Starc is plenty. You can get them off the others.

  4. Pak 264-7

    Required rate 7.54

    Australia have to keep Mitchell Starc on.

    Sarfaraz Ahmed backs away and deftly guides to third man for a single.

  5. ...after six...

  6. Pak 263-7

    Need 45 runs from 36 balls

    Sarfaraz Ahmed sets himself for a big shot but miscues it short of mid-wicket for no run.

    The last ball is wide and the Pakistan skipper gets it down to third man off a thick outside edge for a single.

    No boundary but Pakistan still pick up six from the over.

  7. Vic Marks

    To win this game Pakistan don't have to hit boundaries off Starc but they will target Richardson. He does have three to bowl too. The leg-side boundary is a big hit.

  8. Pak 260-7

    Run rate 6.00

    Kane Richardson returns under a fair bit of pressure.

    Wahab Riaz guides past gully down to third man and strains to pick up two, diving in to make his ground in time.

    He taps the next fine to pick up a single.

  9. ...after six...

  10. Six...

  11. Get Involved

    Wahab is big game player who is showing what he can do here. 6 after 6... unbelievable scenes here down in Taunton.

  12. Pak 257-7

    Need 51 runs from 42 balls

    Mitchell Starc strays down leg with the last and Wahab Riaz tucks it away for a single.

    Just three from the other, but it's just as crucial for Pakistan to see off Starc.

    In fact, after all that chaos they finally have a gameplan: "See off their strike bowler and whack the others."

    Simple. Will it be effective?

  13. Pak 256-7

    Mitchell Starc fires down an absolutely vicious short ball that lifts and swerves as Wahab Riaz ducks away.

    It is a typical Pakistan performance. There have been moments of chaos and moments of brilliance.

    Brockerz: Tight chase from Pakistan! I'm backing them after spending time with their fantastic fans! Genuinely experiencing more nerves than listening to England!

  16. Pak 255-7

    Wahab Riaz takes his time sorting out his bat situation before clipping an attempted yorker that ends as a low full toss off his pads for one.

    That's a proper shot.

  17. Vic Marks

    A lot is on Mitchell Starc's shoulders now.

  18. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    It is now three sixes for number eight Hassan Ali and three sixes for number nine Wahab Riaz. It is the first time six sixes have been hit by number eight and lower in a World Cup innings.

  19. Aaron Finch is worried.

    Mitchell Starc is back into the attack.
