    Slower ball and Ryan Burl absolutely nailed it to the long boundary but it should have been caught.

    Goodness me! Haider Ali had time to gather his thoughts and up against the boundary - he spills it.

    Another one goes down. Pakistan's catching has been bang average.

    Ryan Burl looks to go big and it looks like he's got enough distance - and on most grounds in the world it would be - but it ends up in the hands of Haider Ali on the mid-wicket boundary.

    But then it pops out. It was a casual effort from Haider.

  4. Zim 115-7published at 18 overs

    Better over for Zimbabwe, taking seven from it.

    Naseem Shah finishes with 0-34 from his four overs. Not his best day out.

  5. Zim 108-7published at 17 overs

    Just three runs from Haris Rauf's over.

    It feels like Zimbabwe are going to end up short here.

    Here's the first of Shadab Khan's three wickets.

    The leggy bowled beautifully.

  7. Zim 104-7published at 16 overs

    Six from the over.

    Zimbabwe will want to get up to 130 as a minimum you would think. It would then take a brilliant bowling performance to win.

    Pakistan have taken control of this game after such a bright start from Zimbabwe.

  9. Zim 98-7published at 15 overs

    Zimbabwe slipped from 95-3 to 95-7 - that's pretty terrible in any form of cricket. It's certainly not the type of thing you want to happen in a World Cup.

    Can they work themselves up to a respectable total?

  10. Zim 96-7published at 14.4 overs

    Booo.

    The hat-trick ball strays down the leg side for a wide.

    Disappointing.

    It was just a bit too slippery for him.

    Jongwe is not used to this pace and he's got nowhere to go there.

    Jongwe b M Wasim 0 (Zim 95-7)

    Two in two! Mohammad Wasim is on a hat-trick.

    Luke Jongwe backs away, looking to give himself room, but chops onto his stumps.

    A lot of people have said that Raza is not great against the short ball and he's shown some intent there. But he's fallen for that ball.

    Straight down his throat. Pakistan are running through Zimbabwe.

    Raza c Rauf b M Wasim 9 (Zim 95-6)

    Another one! Zimbabwe have three wickets without adding a run.

    Sikandar Raza looks to pull away, but hits it straight down the throat of Haris Rauf.

    Too easy.

    What a catch! That was almost behind him. Absolutely outstanding.

    That is an unbelievable catch.

    What a catch!

    Regis Chakabva gets forward on the front foot and a thick outside edge is superbly caught by Babar Azam at first slip.

    Shadab Khan finishes with 3-23 from his four overs.

    Sean Williams was going for the reverse sweep but unfortunately for Zimbabwe, he's missed that one. Shadab Khan showing his class again.

    The best spinners talk about not wanting to show the batters the same delivery twice in a row. So you're still trying to hit the stumps but at different speeds and trajectories. Shadab is one of the best at that.
