    Ex-Pakistan captain on TMS

    If you have to play a couple of dots, it doesn't matter. At this stage, just don't lose wickets!

  2. Pak 139-3

    Single. Dot. Single. Dot. Single. Dot.

    Wonderful symmetry to Kane Williamson's fifth over.

    The players are going to take drinks with Pakistan needing 99 more off 102 balls.

  3. Here's how Mohammad Hafeez fell for 32...

  4. Ramiz Raja
    Ex-Pakistan captain on TMS

    When a defensive shot brings out a ripple of applause - I've never seen a 25,000 capacity crowd appreciate a dead bat!

  5. Pak 136-3

    Pakistan need 102 runs from 108 balls

    Babar Azam drops his bat at the non-strikers end as he turns looking to run a second. He gets through safely though.

    Four runs come off Ferguson's fifth over.

    How's that not cleaned him up? Crikey...

  7. Pak 133-3

    Oh that's a beauty from Lockie Ferguson.

    He gets one to seam across Haris Sohail, who has a tentative prod at it, and it evades off-stump by a couple of inches.

  8. Ramiz Raja
    Ex-Pakistan captain on TMS

    This is good captaincy - he's held back Santner and brought on a bit of pace in Ferguson. It might free up Pakistan, though. Pace is probably a better option than Santner right now.

  9. Lockie Ferguson - who beat the bat countless times earlier - is going to replace Mitchell Santner.

  11. Pak 131-3

    Kane Williamson is getting some turn out of this pitch. He again gets one to spin past the outside edge of Haris Sohail's bat.

    The left-hander then tries to rock back and cut a ball that isn't wide enough before working a single into the leg side.

    He likes to be busy at the crease based on his innings so far and the one against South Africa on Sunday.

    This has to be the most tense match of the tournament by far. This is why we need more pitches that favour the bowlers!!!

    Moe

    Have no-idea what cricket is all about the the atmosphere is amazing. I just hope the rain stays off.

  13. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Before that six, Mitchell Santner had bowled 25 balls - 20 dots and 5 singles.

  14. Pak 128-3

    Haris then works Santner into the leg side for a single. Clever cricket.

    That six has slightly tarnished Mitchell Santner's figures. He's gone for 19 off seven overs now. Not bad, eh?

  15. Ramiz Raja
    Ex-Pakistan captain on TMS

    I don't know how to term this - greatness or madness?

  16. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special at Edgbaston

    A great-looking shot!

  17. 6 runs

    Pak 127-3

    That's one way to settle the nerves.

    Haris Sohail takes a couple of steps down the track and smacks Mitchell Santner about 15 rows back over mid-wicket.

    Shot, lad.

  18. Any Kiwis in there?

  19. Get Involved - #bbccricket

    Aamer Iqbal: Put my house on a NZ win. Scoring is so hard. Pakistan will fall behind the chase and then get out trying to hit the big shots. Seen it so many times before.

  20. Pak 120-3

    Babar 50, Haris 8

    A much needed boundary for Pakistan as Haris Sohail manages to squirt one past short third man and down to the boundary.

    They are the only runs from the over as Kane Williamson beats the outside edge a couple of times.

    The required run-rate is sneaking up. It's 5.61 now.
