great effort from Zimbabwe, and especially Neil Johnson. It was his partnership with Goodwin that had them threatening a win

but Australia move to 4 points, and Zimbabwe, despite the loss, remain at the top of the table, which they'll surely lose tomorrow

the Zimbabwean team are hopefully crucifying whichever foolish part of the team management decided to field first on the flattest (and slopiest) batting track seen in the world cup

presentation: Campbell: "great game... superb venue... pressure told on us in the last 10-15 overs... we're going to be at the top of our game if we're going to compete [with Pak]"

Waugh: "... we've got our confidence up... we come back well... we're looking forward to playing South Africa... it will be a tough game"

MoM is Johnson, well deserved: "I'm happy about that [being the first Zimbabwean to score a century at Lord's]... I'll be fit for Friday... knee, groin, ankle, back [is the problem]"

tomorrow's match is NZ v SA, the winner of which will be the first team to qualify for the semi finals. All of the action from 0945 GMT
