2.22pm So Pakistan end on 315, and that means Bangladesh must be all out for 7 or lower if Pakistan are to qualify for the semis. The math has been done - now we wait for the impossible.

As for this innings, it was superb on many counts - first Babar's 96, then Imam's ton and finally two impressive performances from Imad Wasim and Mustafizur Rahman. It has meant that we'll have a mouth-watering chase in prospect. Enjoy our Match Day show before we return for the second innings in a l'il bit


Imam-ul-Haq: "Feeling great but this is 50%. Wicket is quite slow, it will get more slower. Bangladesh bowled well in the middle overs. The conditions didn't demand that high a score. We thought of batting with good intent, but 400 was tough after assessing the conditions."

The 1992 vs 2019 comparisons will most certainly end for Pakistan today. One connection to the '92 World Cup still remains though, as England have made the semis for the first time in 27 years. Do you remember what the sporting world was like back then? Here's a quiz to test your knowledge.

Six balls to go. Can Pakistan breach 316?
Umer: "To achieve impossible you have to believe and give it a go. Pakistan disappointed me a lot today. You'd imagine England, India or Australia going hard for the semis of in this situation. Perhaps that's why they're the top sides and Pakistan is not. They didn't play like cornered tigers. Today they played like cornered cats. "
