Three down...it looks like Pakistan play better after they get knocked out.

well they not knocked out yet.
they have 30% chance of qualifying.
If they beat Australia and India loses to Australia Pakistan go through.

[Dr Cricket]

Given how weak the Pakistan batting is, the Aussies don't need many. So going ok at the moment.

hoping Pakistan get within 12 runs of the Australia score.
Smith and Maxwell taking the game away from pakistan now.
Pakistan hardly chase above 165.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Personal irritation, the commentators who nod through the sixes and criticise when the batter holes out. Don't they realise how idiotic it is. Slats.

Do they?

I didn't realise that....

Maxwell out...Watson in for one of his last innings in international cricket.

[Dr Cricket]

Good effort by Finchy, with a run a ball double figure score, against hostile bowling.

Aussies nearly out of openers. Watto still to come.

Player Viz saying Finch is costing Australia -9 runs.
with warner costing them -6 runs.
Smith has added 10 runs and Maxwell 7 runs right now.
Sami having a shocker -21 to pakistan
Afridi -7 runs.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Just a gentle tease for Shanky's benefit.

Smith 51 from 36....

He finishes on 61 not out. I think the Aussies will feel pleased with 193-4.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Pakistan aren't going to get these. Brilliant close to the innings from the Aussies.

If this happened, it would be down to NRR - and India would be the first to be kicked out, as they are currently negative and a loss to Aus would set them further back. If Aus lost tonight and beat India, it would all be down to the margin of the defeat of India. But Pak would be favoured as they have a nice NRR atm.

[Gingerfinch]

Pakistan better get a shift on.

All down to Boom Boom from here...

Winner takes all between Ind and Aus on Sunday

[mikesiva]

NZ vs Bangladesh of academic interest only...Nicholls out, and NZ are one down.
