Mohammad Rizwan is wearing luminous green boots. They are magnificent.

You just wonder how costly that might be. This is New Zealand's third 50-over/20-over World Cup semi against Pakistan - they have never won one.

Huge moment. Babar Azam's first ball. Drive, low edge to the right of keeper Devon Conway. Dive, one-handed, down. Tough, but you've got to take them.

Martin Guptill is out there sub-fielding for someone. The ball is swinging.

Take that. First ball cut for four.

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan to open for the men in Plymouth green. Trent Boult has the ball.

New Zealand are in the middle, in their grey and black. A little earlier on, skipper Kane Williamson held their innings together, before this happened...

New Zealand wicketkeeper Devon Conway: "It is not a bad total. The way we went in the powerplay I thought we would be a little under par but credit to Daryl he got up to a decent score.

"The ball skidded on a bit and there was not much bounce but I thought Pakistan bowled well in the powerplay. We have good bowling to come and will look to put them under pressure from ball one."

Morning, morning, morning.

Tough going out there. New Zealand might have gathered enough.

Having said that, only two lower first-innings scores have ever won a T20 World Cup semi.

Pakistan's batting hasn't fired yet throughout the tournament, but what a time this would be for Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan to find their form.

Or can the likes of Trent Boult and Tim Southee work their magic?

Here's Stephan Shemilt to take you through the chase.

Absolutely brilliant bowling at the death by Naseem Shah.

A classy effort in the field from Pakistan. The bowling and ground fielding has been superb, with conditions in their favour.

But runs on the board in a crunch game are always valuable. And we know what New Zealand's bowlers can do.

Pakistan need 153 to win.

An ugly swipe from Mitchell loops up in the air but safely, and two more runs bring up 150 for New Zealand.

This is excellent death bowling from Naseem Shah.

Naseem Shah starts brilliantly, mixing up his pace well and deceiving Mitchell and Neesham with some slower balls.

Five from the first three.

50 for Daryl Mitchellpublished at 19 overs

NZ 144-4

A valuable innings from New Zealand's rock in the middle order.

It's been tough going and he's done a lot of running with the boundaries hard to come by, with another two bringing up his half-century from 32 balls.

One over to go.

The right-hand/left-hand combination really benefits New Zealand at this stage of the innings because it means there is always a short boundary whoever is facing.

Jimmy Neesham is so dangerous at the end of an innings and this is why.

Effortlessly eased off his pads for a precious boundary.

Can Daryl Mitchell finish it in style for the Black Caps?

10 from the over.

Two to go.

Anything over 150 would be gold dust for New Zealand.

Oh! Just over extra cover for four, past a sprawling Haris Rauf.

A bit of luck for Daryl Mitchell.
