    Today I've met Pakistan fans from New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto. Loving the atmosphere (if not the cold!)

    A sensational take from Martin Guptill to give New Zealand their second scalp.

    Hafeez 8, Babar 20

    I have a real soft spot for Colin de Grandhomme. A proper throwback cricketer. Just runs in, rolls his arm over, keeps things nice and tidy.

    Colin de Grandhomme time!

    Target 238

    A casual 89mph delivery goes flying past Mohammad Hafeez's outside edge, and Ferguson cranks it up to 91mph to bamboozle Hafeez once again.

    Brilliant viewing, this.

    And Mohammad Hafeez's outside edge is beaten once again!

    Lockie Ferguson then decides to try him out with a short ball, and Hafeez hoicks it wonderfully over point for a one bounce four! Lovely stuff.

    Whatever the problem was - sightscreen related, I think - it's been fixed. Huzzah!

    Here's Lockie Ferguson.

    We were just having the debate of what you'd rather face: Mitchell Starc's yorkers or Lockie Ferguson's short balls.

    Rostance said he'd rather face Starc. I went with Ferguson on the theory that I could sway out of the way and I think Starc would break my feet to bits.

    We've got a hold up, and I'll be completely honest, I don't know what for.

    Everyone's sort of milling around.

    If you get in it gets easier but this is a difficult pitch to score on. When you are facing pace like Ferguson they are hard to get away.

    Pakistan won't find it easy. Sometimes you have to say, let's get through the first 15 overs and stay in the game, build a partnership.

  14. Pak 46-2published at 12 overs

    A scampered single is all Pakistan can work off this latest Matt Henry over. He needs to keep the pressure on.

  15. Postpublished at 16:37 British Summer Time 26 June 2019

    Give me a low scoring thriller any day of the week.

    Matt Henry's going to continue.

    Hope these low-scoring matches make ICC realise that cricket is a much more interesting game if there is something in it for the bowlers. All these low-scoring, close games have been a pleasure to watch.

    Six catches for Guptill in this World Cup now, only four fielders have more (excluding keepers).

    Ferguson 1-0-2-1

    A snorter of a short ball from Lockie Ferguson, getting sharp bounce off this placid pitch, and Mohammad Hafeez twists in mid-air as he tries to avoid getting hit.

    Ferguson rips the next ball past his outside edge, and another uppish leading edge gets Hafeez off the mark. There'll be more short stuff coming his way, mark my words.

  19. Pak 44-2published at 10.3 overs

    Oh, Jimmy Neesham's almost run out Mohammad Hafeez!

    Hafeez gets into a horrible tangle, trying to take a quick single, and Neesham, swooping, misses with his shy at the stumps. He also loses his trousers in the process, which isn't that dignified.

  20. Postpublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 26 June 2019

    Mohammad Hafeez has come out to face Lockie Ferguson.

    Battle of the mustaches?
