- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 pushing at it, just a defensive drive, another outside edge to Moin, NZ looking like a sad sorry lot indeed 12/21.5 and again, his horror run in the World Cup continues, defending outside the off stump, regulation outside edge to the keeper, 9 consecutive innings of single figure scores for Astle in the World Cup 2/110.4 more batting labelled "keep out of reach of children", dabbing the bat at it for some reason, ball flies off the top edge and is easily swallowed by the mid on 35/338.5 flicking onto the on side, direct to the captain at forward square leg or mid wicket 154/718.4 good firm sweep from outside the off stump, Inzamam takes a catch to his left at forward square leg, the inevitable for NZ is one step closer 70/419.4 seaming ever so slightly into the stumps, Cairns playing outside it, Rudy Koertzen had a little bit of hesitation in that decision for lbw 71/519.5 big inseamer, but hits on the rear pad, just in front of the middle stump, glory glory to New Zealand, Azhar on a hat trick 71/649 played to the square leg. Caught. By Abdul Razzaq.
