    The atmosphere has just started to dampen down.

  2. Ban 197-6

    Need 119 runs to win from 10 overs

    The Bangladesh fans are just starting to drift away. Their World Cup is all-but done. The Bangladesh fans have been a brilliant part of it.

  3. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    The writing is on the wall for Bangladesh if it wasn't already. Horns blowing.

  4. wicket

    WICKET

    Mosaddek c Babar b Shadab 16 (Ban 197-6)

    Commentator's curse. Just as I talk up Mosaddek Hossain's chances of a half-century, he chips one straight to mid-off as he looks for the big shot.

    Pakistan are closing in.

  5. Ban 195-5

    A slash from Mosaddek gets him four off Shadab. This is a chance for him to get a fifty at Lord's in a World Cup.

  6. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    Wahab picks up wickets but he also goes around the park.

  7. Ban 191-5

    Target 316

    Wahab is going to put holes in the Lord's outfield soon. That stomp I mentioned is getting even harder.

    Mahmudullah top-edges one over the wicketkeeper for four.

    The former Bangladesh skipper then flirts at one and misses. There's no edge and no luck for Wahab.

  8. Ban 186-5

    Outstanding commitment and athleticism from Imam-ul-Haq on the square leg boundary. He skids on his belly to stop the ball going for four. It only saves one run but is good to see.

  9. That might be the longest text we've ever received. I'm flattered, Billy. Some good points.

  10. 'Long live net run-rate'

    Text 81111

    Hi all, as ever the commentary has been cracking throughout the duration of the tournament and has thankfully kept me more than entertained at my desk during my first summer of full-time employment. But my main reason for texting in is to enter the debate around net run-rate, which I know has been a popular topic of conversation over the past few days. In contrary to what seems to be the common view, I think net run-rate is an effective technique of differentiating between teams on the same points. Firstly, I like the way it takes into consideration the scale of margin of defeat/victory of each game and therefore acts as an indicator of a team’s performance throughout the tournament. For example, I think a team that cruises to victory in five of its games but is closely defeated in four of its games is more deserving of a semi-final place than a team that is thrashed in its defeats and only wins by narrow margins - and net run-rate provides a good reflection of this. The impossible situation which Pakistan found themselves in today is being cited as a reason against net run-rate. However, in my opinion, that is Pakistan’s own doing as they were more than comfortably beaten by the West Indies and India yet only narrowly defeated by the likes of England and (significantly) Afghanistan - which is rightly reflected in their net run-rate . As an analogy, no one would have any complaints in football if a side went into the final game of the season with needing to win 20-0 to overturn an inferior goal difference - which is essentially a very similar technique.

  11. Ban 183-5

    Need 133 more to win from 72 balls

    Mahmudullah is at least swinging. There's not much point playing for net run-rate now.

  12. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    He was just taking that catch in front of the sponsored carpets and when you are potentially going to be diving on there you get a little bit of trepidation.

  13. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    I thought he'd got it, I think he did have it but the ball came slipping out.

  14. dropped catch

    Mahmudullah dropped on 18

    Two drops in three balls for Mahmudullah! This one is a harder chance for the youthful, energetic Babar Azam. He charges in from long-off and has to dive forward to try and grab a skier. He gets two hands on it but the ball bursts through.

  15. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Don't think Hafeez will be playing many more World Cup games for Pakistan. It was a good diving effort but he was a bit slow to react.

  16. dropped catch

    Mahmudullah dropped on 17

    We'll let 38-year-old Mohammad Hafeez off for this one. He gets two hands the ball diving to his right at mid-off but can't take the catch. It hist his palms hard and is parried away. He got there.

  17. Daniel Norcross

    If only Pakistan had alighted on this formula two or three games earlier. Their regret is that they don't get a chance to put it back on against India. Shoaib Malik played in that game...

  18. Ban 177-5

    Wahab is shaking his head as he stomps back to his mark. Mahmudullah edges for four.

  19. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I enjoy watching Pakistan play, they bring life and they have played the kind of game you really enjoy. Babar is a wonderful player to watch and I have to say it's a real shame they have not made the semis.

  20. Daniel Norcross

    It's drifting into the realms of the impossible.
