Hundred up for Pakistan and though their fans would have preferred if it had been in the 10th over rather than the 22nd, they are still full of good cheer as they wave their flags passionately.

There's a theme there...is Geoff the answer at the top of the order?

There's not one here either as spinner Mosaddek comes into the attack from the Pavilion End.

It has been 53 balls since Pakistan hit a boundary.

Just two singles from the Shakib over and Pakistan are accumulating rather than annihilating.

Poor old Mortaza looks to have knee braces on both knees as he trundles in from the pavilion end, no wonder he is only up at 76mph, but what a fine campaigner he has been, playing his 217th match today and 266 wickets to his name. Both batsmen collect twos but the boundaries elude them again.

Here's some news for you, Sky Sports have this morning announced that the World Cup final on 14 July will be shown live on free-to-air television should England get there.

International Cricket Council chief executive David Richardson said earlier this month talks were ongoing.

Full details of how the game would be broadcast have not been revealed.

As ever, we will have in-play clips, live text commentary and TMS on the BBC Sport website of the final.

Zak Dunstan: Pakistan need to be going at around 8 minimum to have any chance. You would surely sooner see them all out for 200 trying to hit 400 that limp to 270 and not have the chance to qualify right?

Just the six fours in the opening 18 overs and I wonder what the discussion will be between the Pakistan batsmen as the players take drinks. Lord's, as always, an absolute picture today, but there are these peculiar fungal circles on the square, if that doesn't sound too odd. See if you can spot them in the video clips.

Babar Azam has been one of the batsmen of this tournament. I love watching him play.

A brace of twos for Babar against Mortaza and he has 36 from 39 balls.

Suspicious that, Rich...

Shakib has scurried through that one, but I can tell you there were not any boundaries in it.

Amrul Choudhury: This side could pull off this result... Gayle, Jayasuria, Hayden, Sehwag, Tendulkar, Pietersen, Gibbs, Klusener, Yuvraj Singh, Sangakkara, Abdur Razzaq.

Fair bit of bowling for Razzaq to do in that team? Klusener could help out though I suppose and Chris could bowl some of his spinners. Anyone got alternative XIs?

I have to confess I missed that one David. Now Mortaza again from the Pavilion End, Imam clips three off his pads and they run well again later in the over to pick up two more. Three overs without a boundary though.

David Jackson: What about last weekend where an unfancied Ireland side came back from 25 down to defeat Scotland at home, in the last end, at the British Isles Bowls Championship?

Bangladesh's star man Shakib enters the fray, 542 runs and 11 wickets for him so far. He begins inauspiciously with five wides down the leg side but only singles follow.

Imam is rather sharper between the wickets than his uncle Inzamam used to be and he beats Mortaza to a quick single, but we are going to need a bit more than singles surely? Pakistan need to win by 316 runs remember.
