    Thanks Jack.

    We will start with the thoughts of Imran Tahir, who has had an eventful afternoon so far to say the least...

    I'm off for lunch. It might have to involve cheese after all that chat earlier.

    Tom Mallows is on hand to take over...

  3. Not outpublished at 50 overs

    Pak 308-7

    Sure enough, that's not out and it gives Pakistan one more to the total.

    Fast forward to South Africa losing by one run?

    Pakistan finish on 308-7 from their 50 overs, thanks to Haris Sohail's sparkling 89, Babar Azam's accomplished 69 and 44 each from openers Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman.

    South Africa need a challenging 309 to win just their second match of the tournament.

    Oh Lungi mate. He's made a hash of it and broken the stumps with his hands after dropping the ball.

  5. Third umpirepublished at 50 overs

    The batsmen didn't cross so Shadab Khan will have one ball to face.

    He drives to the man on the edge of the ring and sprints off.

    The throw comes in to Lungi Ngidi, who breaks the stumps.

    It's sent upstairs as the players walk off the ground.

    Haris c De Kock b Ngidi 89 (Pak 307-7)

    Pakistan are making a bit of a hash of this final over against some fine bowling by Lungi Ngidi.

    An off-cutter induces a miscue from Haris Sohail as the tries to whack it over long on and the ball loops high in the air for keeper Quinton de Kock to take a simple catch.

    A superb innings from Haris though, smacking 89 off just 59 balls to take Pakistan past 300.

  7. Pak 307-6published at 49.4 overs

    A slower ball that Sarfaraz can only flog away along the ground for one more.

  8. Pak 306-6published at 49.3 overs

    Ngidi gets it up full and Haris carves out to the man in the deep. That's just a single. Well bowled.

  9. Pak 305-6published at 49.2 overs

    And Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed taps the hat-trick ball away for a single.

    Wahab tried to hit that to Regent's Park. Wait, Regent's Park is not that way. Edgware Road!

    Wahab b Ngidi 4 (Pak 304-6)

    You miss. I hit.

    Wahab Riaz tries to leather it out of the ground but is duped by the slower ball.

    He's through the shot far too early and the ball runs into off stump.

    That's two in two for Ngidi, having dismissed Imad with the last ball of his previous over.

    Last over. Lungi Ngidi to bowl.

    Wahab Riaz on strike. Haris Sohail on 88 - can he get a century?

    Rabada finishes on a sad note. He hasn't had much of a tournament. I don't think he will look back on it with any particular affection.

    Ahsan Khan: Where has this Pakistan been? They needed more of this earlier on in the competition.

  16. Pak 304-5published at 49 overs

    Haris 88, Wahab 4

    That is not canny bowling.

    Full on the legs and Haris Sohail wristily chips up over mid-wicket for four. Lovely shot.

  17. Pak 300-5published at 48.5 overs

    Haris Sohail backs away a long way and Kagiso Rabada follows him with a vicious bumper that sees Haris hit the deck.

    Pakistan's fans want a wide but that was canny bowling.

  18. Pak 300-5published at 48.4 overs

    Run rate 6.16

    Wahab Riaz mows it away off a thick outside edge down to third man for a single to take Pakistan to 300. A big cheer.

    Wahab Riaz has never batted as high as seven before.

  20. Postpublished at 14:10 British Summer Time 23 June 2019

    Huh. Pakistan are sending out Wahab Riaz above captain Sarfaraz Ahmed.

    Wahab did give it a fair old whack against Australia in fairness - 45 off 39 balls.
