Matthew Henry and Callum Matthews

  1. Aus 115-5

    Need 62 from 30 balls

    Immaculate from Shaheen again. The boundaries don't come from Australia.

  2. Aus 112-5

    Three singles from the first four balls of Shaheen's over. Something has got to give...

  3. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    He was barely in the frame.

  4. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    He would have been gone by maybe two metres.

  5. Aus 111-5

    Hit 'em... No! It's Shaheen Afridi with the throw in his follow-through. Wade would have been miles out.

    There isn't a lot of batting to come after these two. Australia can't afford a run-out.

  6. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Australia will want one of these to be there in over 20 and have cameos around them.

  7. New Zealand needed 70 more runs at this stage yesterday. Australia still have a chance.

  8. Aus 109-5

    Need 68 from 36 balls

    Still only six runs came from that over by Rauf. Very useful for Pakistan given the situation. The Aussie dressing room looks a little nervy.

    Shaheen is back.

    Who is going to do the Fakhar Zaman role for Australia at the end? You're not going to be able to do it from sliced fours and twos. Someone is going to need to clear the rope.

    One over of 20-plus, though, and they are in it.

  10. Aus 108-5

    Haris Rauf is bowling like he's got rockets attached to his boots but Matthew Wade heaves a four down the ground. Just when you think Australia are struggling they manage to find a boundary.

  11. One leg-spinner respects another...

  12. Aus 104-5

    This would have topped it off. Shadab raves in from backward point and had his throw hit Matthew Wade would have been out by a distance.

    It's the bright green boots, I'm sure.

  13. Haris Rauf is back.

  14. That ball Aggers described as an "absolute pie" earlier? Here is it in all its glory...

  15. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Pakistan have caught well under the pressure.

  16. Aus 103-5

    Target 177

    I think I can hear the applause from Pakistan here in Salford. Shadab Khan finishes with 4-26 from four overs in a World Cup semi-final.

    74 from 42 needed.

  17. 6 runs

    Aus 102-5

    Well...

    Having just seen Maxwell fall, Marcus Stoinis thumps Shadab for six over mid-wicket.

    Don't switch off just yet.

  18. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Awful.

    Shadab Khan gets bounce and Glenn Maxwell got into a good position but the bounce means it gets the top edge of the bat rather than the middle.

    That, now, could be game over.

  19. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    The plan works for Pakistan!

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Maxwell c Rauf b Shadab 7 (Aus 96-5)

    Make that four! Shadab Khan won't have to buy a thing in Pakistan for a very long time.

    Was this the right shot? Who knows. Glenn Maxwell puts a switch hit straight down deep covers throat.

    Pakistan are well on top now.
