    0.3 full, straight and given again! Smacked on the front pad swinging across the line, and this one looks a goner, despite Allen's review. Pitching on leg, hitting middle and leg! Afridi counters to leave Allen pinned to the ropes after a frenetic three-ball stay. Erasmus on the money this time. Pakistan fans in full voice already at the SCG 4/1
    5.6 direct hit from mid-off! Has Conway run himself out...? Pakistan are celebrating, this is going to be tight. And the side-on replay quickly confirms that the batter is short of the crease by a matter of inches! Superb from Shadab Khan, Pakistan's talisman at this World Cup. The ball sat up nicely for him to collect and fire in an accurate throw. What a moment, a wicket from a run-out off the last ball of the powerplay 38/2
    16.2 Afridi cleans Williamson up. Wiliamson shuffles across off for a scoop of his own. Afridi bowls a slower offcutter into the pitch. 121ks, he finds some grip and tricks Williamson into playing at it way too early. Williamson misses. Afridi, however, doesn't miss his target and brings out the starman pose 117/4
    7.6 miscued back to the bowler! Nawaz slows his pace up, and pins NZ's middle-overs champ to the mat! Huge wicket for Pakistan. H-U-G-E! Phillips visibly regrets his mistake, swinging the bat in frustration before he stalks from the field. Just gave it a tad more air and it gripped in the pitch, came off a leading edge as he looked to work to leg 49/3

    16.6 Holes out to sweeper cover. GP won't drop it. Regulation chance. Rizwan manufactures swinging room, Boult aims for the yorker, but comes out as a full-toss outside off. Rizwan shimmies out and slaps it to Phillips. Hang on, is this a beamer? Replays suggest that it was just below the waistline. It's a legal delivery and Rizwan has to depart. GP was also alert enough to throw the ball to Boult who took the bails off for the run out 132/2
    12.4 Smeared to long-on. Mitchell settles under this at the long-on boundary. On a length and outside off, Babar looks to go over the top, but can't clear Mitchell. NZ finally find a way past this opening pair. Pakistan are still 95% favourites to win this 105/1
    18.6 Caught at short fine leg. Finn Allen makes no mistake. Haris jumps across off stump even before Santner delivers. The left-arm fingerspinner adjusts and darts it shorter to hit the top edge. End of a fine innings from Haris 151/3
