    The second drop doesn't prove too costly.

    Sean Williams looks to reverse sweep, but misses and the ball crashes into middle stump.

    Good bowling from Shadab Khan, who now has two wickets.

    This is some positive exciting cricket now.

    Haris Rauf just clean missed it.

    Sean Williams gets a third opportunity!

    Having been dropped on nine, he gets another life.

    The left hander slog sweeps Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf comes haring round, dives low to the ground, but the ball goes through his hands and into the mid-wicket boundary.

    That's a super shot. We've seen a couple of shots tonight where batters have been given a bit of width and because of the pace of the wicket, they've been able to hit through it.

    Williams 24, Raza 8

    Ufff. That's a shot. There's a little bit of width from Naseem Shah but Sikandar Raza just smacks it to the boundary.

    This kid is going to be getting some franchise T20 league offers after this tournament, without a doubt.

    A productive over for Zimbabwe as Sean Williams pulls off his hips and perfectly dissects fine leg and square leg.

    The projected score of 127 is a far cry from the 214 that was projected after three overs. They need to get up to 150 to feel that they're in the game. Zimbabwe have got a lot of work to do but the Pakistan bowlers have started to find their lengths on this pitch.

  8. Zim 76-3published at 12 overs

    Zimbabwe milk Shadab Khan for five singles.

    When will they put their foot on the accelerator? They are going to need to soon. 150 is an absolute minimum surely.

  10. Zim 71-3published at 11 overs

    Pakistan are really pulling this back.

    Haris Rauf starts with five dot balls, before strays onto the pads of Sikandar Raza. The ball runs away and goes fine for four leg byes.

  11. Pak 67-3published at 10 overs

    Sikandar Raza is the new batter for Zimbabwe.

    He's been brilliant so far in this tournament, so he'll be a key wicket for Pakistan to get.

    He's off the mark first ball, with a single down to long-on.

    Here are the first two wickets that Pakistan took...

    It was slightly back of a length and instead of the ones he's been able to hit beautifully down the ground, he's poked at that and given a reasonably simple catch to Shadab.

    Good grab!

    Miltom Shumba looks to work into the leg side, but gets a leading edge and Shadab Khan is able to get across and collect relatively comfortably.

    Pakistan are pulling this back. I think they are in control at the moment.

    What an eventful over. A beautiful pull shot, one that rapped him on the gloves and a dropped catch. There is plenty of life in this game.

  16. Zim 61-2published at 9 overs

    That was an eventful over.

    Alongside that drop, Milton Shumba cracked a pull shot over long-on, and then was rapped on the gloves at the end of the over.

    Lovely cricket.

    How damaging will that be? That should have been swallowed.

    Oh!

    Sean Williams mis-times a pull shot and it goes straight towards Iftikhar Ahmed at mid-wicket.

    He took a blinder on Sunday, but this one goes down, despite him having two grabs at it.

    Could that prove costly?

    Zimbabwe got off to a flyer, Pakistan have put the brakes on them and it's brought the game back to a neutral position.

  20. Zim 53-2published at 8 overs

    No obvious signs of spin for Shadab Khan. Zimbabwe just work him for four singles.

    It's gone a bit sedate at the moment.
