  1. Pak 158-3published at 36.2 overs

    Beautiful from Babar Azam.

    He skips down the pitch and lofts Kane Williamson over mid-off for a one-bounce four.

    That's got the crowd going again.

    I'm an England fan but want Pakistan to win this. I don't want us to be let off the hook with a NZ win here, we need to be in knockout mode now. Having must-win games against India & NZ is what ENG & the tournament needs. Also, Pakistan fans are amazing.

  3. Pak 154-3published at 36 overs

    Nine off Munro's over.

    Experiment = failed.

    How does he bowl a wide at this pace?!

  5. Pak 153-3published at 35.4 overs

    After four balls I'm going to say this will be Colin Munro's only over.

    A very wide delivery makes it eight off the over already.

    There wasn't a big gap there, but he found it!

  7. Pak 150-3published at 35.2 overs

    Shot!

    It's uppish from Babar Azam but he absolutely crunches it through the gap between cover and mid-off and to the boundary.

    This is a little bit on the hoof at the moment, trying to match up the conditions with the bowlers.

    Colin Munro who has seven ODI wickets is coming on to bowl some little dobbers.

    I am an Aussie watching this unfold and cheering every Pakistani run. Would make my year to see them push England to fifth in the final standings.

    At the same stage, New Zealand were 132-5 - so there's not a lot in it.

  12. Pak 145-3published at 35 overs

    Another over with just three singles added to the total.

    The required run-rate is up to 6.2 now. 93 required from 90 balls.

    Just three singles come off Ferguson's latest over.

    This is getting tense.

    On a normal pitch, this would have been an extremely doable job. But Pakistan will have to fight tooth and nail. Santner will be the real threat for them.

    Lockie Ferguson will continue after the drinks break.

    Here's that huge six that Haris Sohail hit off Mitchell Santer.

    Half an hour of him and Pakistan will be in the driving seat, I reckon.

    Don't know whether it's already been said but good luck to England facing India's spinners on another of these Edgbaston decks needing to win to stay in the competition!!!!

  20. England 'still best in world'published at 18:11 British Summer Time 26 June 2019

    Joe Root says England must trust that they are still "the best team in the world" in order to get their World Cup campaign back on track.

    Back-to-back losses mean they may have to beat both India and New Zealand to avoid going out.

    "We have to stay calm, look at the things we know will make us a better team and will put us back to our best," Root told BBC Sport.

    "We must trust that when we do that, we are the best team in the world."
