Imam ul Haq has also scored his fifty in 52 balls, courtesy of poor fielding from Bangladesh. Bangladesh are having a foregettable day on the field. PAK 135/1 in 26.4 overs
16:28 hrs ISTFIFTY!
Babar Azam brings up his half century, and he brings it up in style. Solid batting from Babar, and he needs to take this forward today.
16:17 hrs ISTAzam approaching fifty
Babar Azam has moved i nto late 40s and he could be on the verge of scoring his half century here. Another big innings on the cards - or a typical Azam innings which ends on 60s and 70s...? Time will tell.
15:57 hrs ISTExpensive first over from Shakib
11 runs from the over, so unlike Shakib. He started the over by giving 4 wides and then Babar Azam and Imam ul Haq were smart enough to deal in ones and twos, productive over for Pakistan.
15:48 hrs ISTFifty up!
A nice dab down to third man from Imam-ul-Haq brings up Pakistan’s fifty. It hasn’t come in a quick time but considering they lost Zaman early, they will take it. Now for Babar Azam to really capitalize on the good start.
15:40 hrs ISTPowerplay ends
That’s the end of the first Powerplay. The Bangladesh, bowlers, Mehidy Hasan in particular have not allowed Pakistan to get off to a flying start, which they needed so badly after opting to bat first. Shaifuddin in fact, gave them a body blow by removing Fakhar Zaman early. Pakistan 38 for 1 after 10 overs
15:25 hrs ISTShaifuddin removes Zaman
OUT! Straight to the hands. Zaman wasn’t timing the ball well today and he didn’t even this time. Nothing special about the delivery from Shaifuddin and Zaman in fact, it was there to be hit but Zaman doesn’t get the desired timing and provides a simple catch to the point fielder.
15:20 hrs ISTA photographer’s delight
FOUR! Majestic, wonderful, serene - Get all your adjectives out and it may still fall short to describe that shot from Imam-ul-Haq. Everything right about that cover drive and it pierced the packed off side field to race away to the boundary.
15:10 hrs ISTClose shave for Fakhar
It was miles up in the air and thankfully for Pakistan and Fakhar Zaman, it lands just short of Tamim Iqbal, who ran in at least 20 metres from the long-off boundary. A flighted delivery oputside the off stump from Mehidy, Fakhar dances down the track and attempts an outrageous heave only to get a top edge. 2 runs
15:06 hrs ISTFirst boundary
SMASHED for four! Short and wide from Shaifuddin, it was there to be punished and was done so by Fakhar Zaman, just the ideal delivery for a batsman to get his innings going. Pakistan need a big one from Fakhar, if they have to post in excess of 400, then he has to come good.
15:03 hrs ISTMehidy starts well
Very good start from Bangladesh off-spinner Mehidy Hasan, perfect line and length, no room provided to Fakhar Zaman to free his arms, only 1 run from it.
14:55 hrs ISTWhat the captains said
Sarfaraz Ahmed, Pakistan captain: Only chance we have is to bat first and put a big total on the board. So we will try our best. We are going with the same team, although we know that we need quick and big runs. It’s a long tournament and one game is different from the others. Unfortunate to be in this position but we will try our best.
Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladesh captain: I’d love to bat first on this wicket as it’s a used wicket. Have to bowl well and restrict them to a chaseable total, We’ve been playing well against them but this is a fresh game and they’re a good side. They’re starting to take off in terms of momentum and we need to play well. Yes, it will be a good milestone for us if we manage to win four games in the World Cup. It is my final World Cup game and I will try my best.

14:29 hrs ISTPitch report
“Right handers will target the 62m leg-side boundary and 58 meters point boundary. Straight boundaries are longer. It’s pretty much the same at both ends. Lot of greenery on the surface but I guess whatever moisture is there will dry out. Looks a decent track to bat on.” reckon Simon Doull and a highly optimistic Rameez Raja who is backing Pakistan to post a 400-plus total.
