    Many grumpy club bowlers up and down the country would bowl a wide at this point!

    If I was Sarfaraz I'd get three massive forward defensives out, and leave it to Babar Azam!

    Captain Sarfaraz Ahmed is the new batsman.

    This is canny from Haris Sohail - he gets his own applause!

    Haris Sohail run out (Guptill) 68 (Pak 236-4)

    Magnificent from Martin Guptill!

    The ball rolls off Babar Azam's bat, barely off the square but in the direction of point and Haris Sohail comes flying down the pitch. Guptill comes haring in and picks up one handed and Superman like flies into the base of the stumps and knocks off the bails.

    What a knock from Haris though.

    It was a very athletic attempt, but you fancy he got home.

    Who would argue against Pakistan going on to do something special, just like they did in 1992?

  15. Pak 236-3published at 48.2 overs

    Haris Sohail tickles down to fine leg for another single.

    Two required.

  16. Pak 235-3published at 48.1 overs

    Single first ball as Babar pulls to square leg.

    Matt Henry has got the thankless task of bowling.

    This will be seven games for Pakistan that have mirrored the results from the 1992 World Cup.

    This really does blow this World Cup wide open.

  20. Pak 234-3published at 48 overs

    A slower ball bouncer deceives Haris Sohail and we're going into the penultimate over.

    Four required.
