00:00:01Who's gonna take out the cup? Who'll I be? Who'll be the keys? It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Who'll rule the world? Gotta see who'll rule the world.
00:00:18Martin Poo perhaps is elected to bat because of this new rule where you calculate the highest scoring overs and the side batting first has the advantage over there.
00:00:31So with Charles forecast for the afternoon, that's the reason why he's elected to bat after winning the toss.
00:00:38Wasn't Mark Graham, left arm over the wicket to John Wright. John Wright has only scored 57-1 on the duck in the competition.
00:00:48His partner, Greatbatch, has been the man that's really started at four, New Zealand.
00:00:52Got them on the right road as far as being positive in the early overs, so it's gonna be a great battle.
00:00:57Great Wasnamakram, he's very super, he comes in for the first ball of the semi-final.
00:01:03And he beats him, beautifully bowed.
00:01:07As that's his ability, he can move the ball around at a very good pace.
00:01:14You're never quite sure where he's going to bowl it.
00:01:19Wasnamakram to...
00:01:22John Wright, the open stance, the bat on the toe.
00:01:27Fix it just...
00:01:30Ball to square, and then it's short-legged Jarvid, looking to his left.
00:01:35So, two to right.
00:01:42John Wright, quite meticulous with the field placings.
00:01:46That ball hit in the air.
00:01:48Travelled a good 20 metres in the air.
00:01:52Wright's dropping, and throws wide.
00:01:57Well backed up.
00:01:59Could have been very close to the hit.
00:02:01John Wright, who's not quick between the wickets, is in a bit of trouble.
00:02:05There's a good piece of work by Mushtaq, coming from the deep gully position.
00:02:10He's one of the better Pakistan infielders.
00:02:14And he had John Wright cold if he'd hit.
00:02:17It's over the top.
00:02:18That's the first boundary.
00:02:19That's a six.
00:02:20Top edge, cutting away, wasn't Akram.
00:02:21Mark Greatbatch, who's had a wonderful tournament.
00:02:22Brings up another six.
00:02:23That's his 13th six in the World Cup.
00:02:24That's a six.
00:02:25Top edge, cutting away, wasn't Akram.
00:02:27Mark Greatbatch, who's had a wonderful tournament.
00:02:30Brings up another six.
00:02:31That's his 13th six in the World Cup.
00:02:35Only about 45, 50 metres in that area.
00:02:42As I mentioned, Mark Greatbatch plays for Auckland in the domestic competition.
00:02:48Knows the ground pretty well.
00:02:50He knows where to hit them.
00:02:52Go for the short side of the ground.
00:02:55It's just the one scoring shot of six over third man.
00:02:58Wright's six off 24.
00:03:00He's charged him.
00:03:01He's hit him straight down the ground.
00:03:02It's high.
00:03:03Won't go all the way.
00:03:04Inman's coming across from mid off.
00:03:06He's charged towards Akram and he's putting away for three.
00:03:09So Greatbatch doing the job.
00:03:11He's making the Pakistan bowlers think.
00:03:23Getting that one a bit high on the blade.
00:03:25Getting up towards the splice of the bat.
00:03:28A lot of elevation.
00:03:30But there wasn't a great deal of timing in the shot.
00:03:38That's a fine shot.
00:03:39Wright finds a gap.
00:03:40That's four.
00:03:48Beautifully timed there by John Wright.
00:03:50Whereas he was jabbing at the ball outside off stump in the first couple of overs.
00:03:57A little bit more relaxed there.
00:03:59And really timed that one sweetly.
00:04:02Waited for it.
00:04:03And just put it into the gap.
00:04:05Oh he's hit that miles.
00:04:06It's a short boundary.
00:04:07Oh this will go in the second tier.
00:04:08Huge six.
00:04:09Down she comes off the concrete.
00:04:10What a shot.
00:04:11Down the wicket he goes.
00:04:12Take that.
00:04:13Akeem Javid.
00:04:14Greatbatch certainly got that one away.
00:04:15In fact at Christchurch just a few days ago he really got into Akeem Javid.
00:04:29Took 16 off his second over.
00:04:32And so now he's trying to dominate the ascendancy again.
00:04:36And really put Akeem out of the attack.
00:04:39Because the problem is that if Akeem comes out of the attack quickly.
00:04:42Mushtaq Amid the leg spinner who bowled so brilliantly at Lancaster Park.
00:04:45Could come on.
00:04:46He really changed the game.
00:04:47And allowed Pakistan to win that match.
00:04:49Slow ball well bowled.
00:04:50And a big appeal there from Akeem Javid.
00:04:51Good bowling.
00:04:52I think that might have been a leg buy.
00:04:53No the umpire is saying that he got a little edge on that.
00:04:56This is Akeem Javid.
00:04:57Oh well bowled.
00:04:58He bowled him.
00:04:59Slow ball you little beauty.
00:05:00That was a magnificent delivery.
00:05:01He very very nearly got himself an LBW.
00:05:02Last over with a slow ball having been hit for six.
00:05:03That was a slow one.
00:05:04Totally beat greatbatch.
00:05:05And back go the stumps.
00:05:06It was hardly quick enough to knock the bails off.
00:05:07Well quite clearly it's a very big blow for New Zealand.
00:05:08A very good wicket for Pakistan.
00:05:09Might have got an edge or perhaps a little bit of a pad onto that.
00:05:10But really did him through lack of pace.
00:05:11Magnificent bowling by Akeem.
00:05:12Yes.
00:05:13And uhpire.
00:05:14And uhpire.
00:05:15And uhpire.
00:05:16And uhpire.
00:05:17And uhpire.
00:05:18And uhpire.
00:05:19And uhpire.
00:05:20And uhpire.
00:05:21And uhpire.
00:05:22And uhpire.
00:05:23And uhpire.
00:05:24And uhpire.
00:05:25And uhpire.
00:05:26And uhpire.
00:05:27And uhpire.
00:05:28And uhpire.
00:05:29And uhpire.
00:05:30And uhpire.
00:05:31Magnificent bowling by Akeem.
00:05:33Yes and uhpire.
00:05:34Yes.
00:05:35And uhpire.
00:05:36A good start too for New Zealand.
00:05:37Thanks to Mark Rattbatch.
00:05:3817.
00:05:39Just 22 balls.
00:05:40And uhpire.
00:05:41And uhpire.
00:05:42And uhpire.
00:05:43I don't wanna knock that.
00:05:44Because it's better get him off to a quick start.
00:05:46Than uhpire.
00:05:47Than uhpire having a sluggish one.
00:05:48One for 35.
00:05:49Yes.
00:05:50That bull did pitch a lot outside the leg stump.
00:05:52But looks at he just got that edge.
00:05:54May have just hit it on.
00:05:55Or just beaten him with the uhpire.
00:05:57The off cutter.
00:05:58And so it's a very big wicket for Pakistan.
00:05:59a very big wicket for pakistan to get big disappointment that for the great
00:06:02batch in new zealand that brings andrew jones to the wicket and he's had quite a good world
00:06:06cup been reasonably consistent and of course andrew jones he takes quite a while to settle
00:06:11down he's not a fluent stroke maker by any means he's hit that in the air this will be out caught
00:06:17in the deep he's got him right has got frustrated he's decided to go for it and romi is sitting
00:06:24down there at the deep long on boundary waiting for the opportunity to latch onto a catch hardly
00:06:30had to move right is now out the pressure has got to him this is how it happened well this is the
00:06:36problem when you get fogged down and you see it there and you think right i've got to get on with
00:06:39it up in the air it goes and ramiz takes a very simple catch very good bowling by mustak good
00:06:44field play since john wright will be very very disappointed with that and that will certainly
00:06:48not help new zealand's cause today so right out for 13 too many balls 44 all together new zealand have
00:06:55lost their second wicket and the score now 39 so imran khan moving the field around now the new batsman in
00:07:04martin crowe is welcomed by this big crowd here huge applause and he's down at the non-striker's end
00:07:11because they crossed that's a beautiful shot it's a good reply next new zealand now on to two for 43 in 30
00:07:29just the 100 but a very good average 52 there's very consistent scoring
00:07:35one beautiful stroke he just waited on it there's no shortage of uh approbation here for the new
00:07:47zealanders when they make runs it's not a capacity crowd but it is a very big and enthusiastic one and
00:07:52that was beautifully timed just slightly over pitch from mustak armich but martin crowe didn't waste any
00:07:59energy on this shot that is beautifully picked up lovely shot way off his toes
00:08:17in super form already
00:08:20imran khan here straying in line twice in succession the first ball down the lake side not being even
00:08:26wide this time it's close enough to martin crowe for him just to pick the ball up cleanly
00:08:31two bounces into the boards there for four
00:08:36again beautifully timed martin crowe has been in very good form all through the competition
00:08:43and that's a valuable stroke may not have been a great one but it's
00:08:47taken new zealand on to two to 63 at the end of that over
00:08:56well bold it's outside off stump
00:09:06wouldn't have been much in it but jones has got himself across
00:09:11outside off stump it's one of the few balls that's actually got up a bit
00:09:14just a little bit of bounce there as well that's right and akib javid as ever enthusiastic in his appeal
00:09:19thank you richie martin crowe pulls the first ball away for four mustak armor just a fraction short and
00:09:27there's no doubt about it but martin crowe is in top touch here at eden park
00:09:33new zealand captain having a wonderful series and timing the ball beautifully it's just a fraction
00:09:38short he pulled it stood up just wide the fieldsman deep backwards square leg yeah long off that one
00:09:46and um he punished it appropriately right into the gap really good shot he's looking in fantastic form
00:09:55fine shot beautifully placed
00:10:07it was good placement
00:10:08and uh the ball there coming onto the bat nicely i think that the new zealanders would be pretty happy
00:10:16with this change a little bit of pace they can use it a little bit better than they can the leg spin
00:10:23because it comes onto the batter but it's a slow feel it's a slow wicket this fastish outfield
00:10:29imran using his leg spinner mushtaq here try and break this partnership and i think you'll want to
00:10:35keep jones down there probably slip in the wrong and see if he picks in a minute well it spins and
00:10:43a pizza wicketkeeper as well what a turn there that was the leg break going for buys might go all the way
00:10:49four four buys available runs for new zealand
00:10:56this is uh interesting there was there a deflection of the bat i'll tell you what it didn't half turn
00:11:05it's no wonder jones is having a few problems with him
00:11:09slips in the one that turns the other way now and it'll be all over beautifully bowled it wasn't all
00:11:14that well taken
00:11:18it's in close got to be close yes beautiful bowling forced jones back gave the umpire buckner a good
00:11:25look at that and that's a valuable record for pakistan jones lbw to mustang ahmad what a wicked great
00:11:32bowling by ahmad not fast by the one that went away for four he's come in and produced a little
00:11:38japa have a look at this pitching around about leg stump straightening down the line whack on the back
00:11:43leg that would have hit middle and off no doubt about that good umpiring to steve buckner from the
00:11:48west indies he's had a tremendous world cup as well and boy that has brought the puckies alive and new
00:11:54zealand on our three four what would it be 87
00:12:05it's rutherford's the new batsman now he's played in all eight matches has a strike rate of 66.67 runs
00:12:11per hundred balls he's averaged 40 his top score is 65 well i think
00:12:15uh in the air that one but into the gap it's nice placement going to take a few chances get the
00:12:24scoreboard ticking three runs there
00:12:31it's uh getting back to the point of captains i think that it's probably fair to say that the
00:12:36sides of the best captains are in the semi-finals
00:12:38certainly crow has been very impressive emran makes a huge difference to this pakistan side
00:12:49and uh kefner has done a very very good job
00:12:55pakistan keeping the pressure on the new zealand batsman at the moment crow away for one more
00:13:00bringing up the new zealand 100 in the 30th over
00:13:04of 179 balls good steady progress by the kiwis but a finely balanced contest at the moment
00:13:16good shot from rutherford unorthodox stop by ramese using footballing tactics they're getting a left
00:13:22boot on it hope that hasn't hurt him too much it certainly saved the runs if nothing else
00:13:27it never hurts if your captain happens to be the bowler that he was wrong footed there he started
00:13:36off i think to throw himself at it found he was on the wrong foot
00:13:42pro sweeps
00:13:45comes back for the second it's good running again from martin crow
00:13:48taking on ramese raja at deep square leg there taken on his arm and done it very well and very
00:13:56successfully
00:14:00and we'll move on to some more there that's four runs
00:14:03it's a bad ball from iqbal sukanda a full toss on leg stump
00:14:07and when you're in martin crow's sort of form that's no problem whatsoever he's picked the gap
00:14:11made it cleanly two or three bounces split the field and that's four more
00:14:20it was a gift there's two men out there one in front of square and the other one behind square
00:14:26how they had a chance was in my crime is out at deep back of point
00:14:32very quick over the ground that ground there good throw in this time for the bowler's end
00:14:36spotted that perhaps rutherford might be less keen to run than martin crow
00:14:48and a great diving effort
00:14:53it's four runs to ken rutherford who's trying to break the shackles now imposed on him by the pakistani
00:14:58bowlers he's gone down the wicket this time aimed over long off the man is wide there
00:15:03he's coming diving akib javid but it's one bounce into the fence and four runs
00:15:12martin crow
00:15:15and a man who's a better sweeper than ken rutherford
00:15:21a man who's been fabulous touch through this tournament
00:15:24whereas rutherford touched himself up and failed to make contact with the bats
00:15:28the pro has timed this ball sweetly and hit it directly square of the wicket
00:15:36it's a short boundary down there but it still counts as four
00:15:43and that is not a very good ball at all so hell inexperienced part-time bowler involves a big four
00:15:48toss and exactly where razi mackrum has moved from razi would move squarer towards square lake
00:15:54pro this time picks his gap hits it high and handsomely over the field
00:16:03good shot from rutherford that might just beat akram he's made he's made it round
00:16:09it's akib javid
00:16:12akib javid on the third man boundary it looked very much as though he might have stepped over the road there
00:16:17and he's pretending he hasn't noticed the crowd certainly have noticed there's a lot of noise
00:16:23down at third man suggesting that perhaps uh charlotte should be changing his pool there you can see
00:16:29the foot clearly over there's absolutely no doubt about that whatsoever that that ball should be called
00:16:35for steve butner of course is 90 meters away he can't tell himself he has to rely almost totally on
00:16:42lee fielders cooperation and unless david shepard has seen yes david shepard the english umpire at square
00:16:48lake he's seen enough he knows what's happened and steve butner changes his call and it's four runs
00:16:55to ken rutherford
00:17:00always uh clear that he didn't know the law it's safe inside the boundary i've always have ropes or
00:17:07white lines rutherford over the top straight down the ground
00:17:11he's letting those shackles go now that's four runs and new zealand are three for 140.
00:17:20so i said in the last four or five overs new zealand have certainly
00:17:24come back into the match very well they've got a good platform to build on and i'm sure warren lee's
00:17:28there the coach was delighted with the situation that's a fine shot good intelligent batting look for
00:17:36the gaps and that's where he's tried to hit it away from the field it took kenny rutherford 20 balls to
00:17:44get off the mark but since then he's really started to get into it and he's started to strike the ball
00:17:50quite nicely use his feet get down the wicket chip over the field no one there four runs first inning
00:17:58score here which will put pakistan under a lot of pressure
00:18:00that's gone into the stand well it's the uh advertising hoardings on the full umpire shepherd
00:18:10is in no doubt looked like he's got it into the stands there for a second
00:18:17it's just hit the advertising hoarding on the full yes well marco crow is certainly looking to
00:18:22dominate now and he's gone to one of the shorter boundaries and the new zealand crowd here are really
00:18:29starting to hum and buzz because they know now that new zealand are going to be very very competitive
00:18:34on the semi-final it really is is great to see a guy who can get out there and lead from the front
00:18:44and drag his team up by the bootstraps now they're in with a very good chance of winning the semi-final
00:18:51as they move to three for 162. australia had played exceptionally well and annihilated new
00:18:58zealand in the test series and the one day internationals prior to the world cup
00:19:02so marco crow is going through a real dilemma that's in the stands
00:19:12this is a tremendous partnership building up here
00:19:14again rather confusing his feet coming down the wicket hitting very straight right back over the bowler's head
00:19:27over the side screams
00:19:28well hit that also has gone into the stands the shortest boundary at eden park
00:19:40well when a man's in form you can't afford to drop it short and akram was just fractionally short of a
00:19:45length there and martin crowe was able to pull that just behind square into the number one stand for six more
00:19:54and to say that's the shorter boundary so that's the one to play to if you're in that position
00:20:07that's great shot beautifully placed
00:20:08and that really was a classical off drive by marco crowe a ball pitched up
00:20:26and about off stump perfectly executed
00:20:40and in fact that brings up 100 partnership
00:20:45third with the fall in at 87 and that partnership coming off 107 balls
00:20:50and that's a pretty good rate too in isn't it particularly as a slow start for robert
00:20:57but of course took a long time to get the strike back when robert came to the crease
00:21:02ziland having a home tie senior final against pakistan
00:21:11bob that slow ball a few times he had one success with it
00:21:14so that keep java in that occasion
00:21:18ken rutherford brings up his 50. with the slow ball it was a touch short
00:21:31a few on drives there to the boundary a few of it flicks just behind square for singles
00:21:38and this could well be out pulling that one and the keeper no one can takes the catch so kenny rutherford's
00:21:44innings comes to an end a very good innings indeed after a slow start
00:21:47and really the partnership between crowe and rutherford is a substantial one could well be a match
00:21:53winning one and the breakthrough has come for pakistan but it may well be just a little bit
00:21:58too late still six wickets in hand left for new zealand
00:22:06just drifting a little bit in the breeze but no one can eventually grabs it rutherford is out in
00:22:11new zealand a four for 194. chris harris is the man who's come out to join his skipper
00:22:18he'll be at the non-striker's end batsman having crossed on that catch
00:22:29well that's a gutsy performance he's hobbled back for two yes of course he's only going to do himself
00:22:34more damage as well isn't he and this means that new zealand just couldn't lose the momentum a little
00:22:39bit if crowe either has to leave the field or he has a runner the understanding when running between
00:22:44the records that's mark clumber the new zealand physio very integral part of the new zealand team
00:22:48he has been for the last five or six years he's got players on the field to play
00:22:53good placement
00:23:03and then the four well the pakistanis can go to pieces we know that in the field if things start
00:23:10to go wrong they go wrong in a big way
00:23:16that is the short boundary but you wouldn't have reckoned with two men
00:23:21having it covered that there's any way oh dear me
00:23:30oh he's got him that's out stumped yes on his way no need for the umpire to even
00:23:35enter into the negotiations there so harris out stumped by mohan khan of the body of sukanda
00:23:42that was almost odds on he made 13 of 12 balls but he wasn't picking the spin had to go for it and
00:23:49there it is all over it was well stumped it all came along slowly to the keeper but it was well bowled
00:23:55by ikmal sukanda it's five for 214 after 46. a run rate of 4.7 per over
00:24:04ian smith is the new batsman and ran the bowler
00:24:07and that's got away square and over the top too that may be six i think that went over the line and hit
00:24:16the board there's a line down there that's got to be six yes up she goes boy have new zealand
00:24:22taken advantage of that short boundary backs away from that one and gets into the gap as well
00:24:34and there's a mix up there's a run out yes crow's gone when i say crow's gone
00:24:38his mate's really gone for him so great match messing it all up crow they got themselves in a terrible
00:24:47tangle and this can happen when they're three men out there all trying to negotiate whether or not to
00:24:53run crow doing the right thing they're saying don't worry about it too ian smith who's out there at the
00:25:00moment and he'll get a tremendous ovation in fact all the geese at the ground are out of their seats at
00:25:07the moment cheering the new zealand captain off the ground
00:25:15and that's good work for the wicked because he wouldn't have seen the runner who was running
00:25:19behind him and yet he sensed there was something going on with the bales off and martin co has gone
00:25:26six for 221 that one's screaming to the boundary yo beauty right off the meat of the bat
00:25:37i tell you what he hasn't scored many runs but when he's been asked to guard there and turn it on
00:25:45he's done just that have a look at this unorthodox player favors the onside although he will be
00:25:54inclined to step away and try and get the ball away through the off but he's basically an across the line
00:25:59player and very very dangerous
00:26:07it's in the air and into the gap that's four out of the seats go the kiwis
00:26:12bad delivery too short and given the appropriate treatment
00:26:21that's the end of akib javid's over he didn't enjoy that one too much six for 242
00:26:29big appeal got him lbw yes he's angled it back in playing the ball from this from the crease there
00:26:35deepak patel trying to whip that one away from the leg side the question is did he get outside
00:26:40the line not according to umpire shepherd so he's out of it i think that might have hit him on the toe as
00:26:45well yes that'll be quite painful deepak patel is the man has been used as the opening goal of
00:26:52for new zealand in their matches handy runs there for him made eight just towards the end of the
00:26:57inning 72 44 in the 49 and into the gap and no third man that'll be four
00:27:08imran doesn't know what to do his hands are in the air at the moment i think he's going to bring the
00:27:13fine leg up and leave the third man down he's following the ball
00:27:18that is a sign of uh frustration imran smith gets a full toss he smashed it away it's four is it
00:27:30just short of the line down there at deep mid wicket
00:27:35just for a second i thought that was going for six as well a full toss from imran
00:27:42slow ball again they'll get one there was nothing he could do about that good one from imran that
00:27:47ball so seven for 262 off the 50 overs they received 304 balls and smith ends up not out 18 or 10.
00:28:00a little gem of an innings that was to finish off
00:28:08patel with his off spinners coming around the wicket to the left-handed soho who's played so well
00:28:13in the world cup and i need to score pretty consistently in the first 15 overs well the
00:28:18field's up he cuts gets a bottom edge it's away so pakistan off the mark with a miss hit there a single
00:28:25big crowd here roaring after the luncheon break a great exhibition of batting by new zealand
00:28:31conditions getting very windy here almost a gale now the breeze coming across the ground that's a fine shot
00:28:36that'll be four good start by rummies rajah perfectly executed deflection on the late side
00:28:44that guy was from pakistan and i think the new zealanders will find out very quickly how
00:28:49fast this outfield is and if danny morrison is going to bowl up on leg stump like that
00:28:54rummies rajah will literally smash it into those boards very very close boundary down there have a look at
00:29:03that one run away it's well placed and well saved come back to the second
00:29:15wild throw way over the top interesting to see whether he had a foot outside the line as he
00:29:22dived to save that one down on the square leg boundary
00:29:25times that nicely that'll go all the way down to along on boundary picked it up beautifully a half
00:29:36volley punch through mid on fine shot could have a game in our hands if these two get going
00:29:43that's a lovely shot took that from just outside off stump right off the meat and it's gone flying
00:29:50away into the gap that's why he played it in that direction because there was no fieldsman there the
00:29:54mid on is very wide and he knew as soon as he'd hit that that was going to go to the fence their run
00:29:59chase and they've got to do well they've got to score 263 runs to win this match
00:30:07it's a good shot that'll be four man coming around from deep cover won't cut that off he found the gap
00:30:14beautiful it was a widest delivery and run his rajah into the cover drive early
00:30:20it's interesting those lab black sides england on our favorites been in the business a long time
00:30:26that's out he's taken the top edge as he's gone for the sweep shot there and it's gone straight to
00:30:31backward square leg who's taken the catch well they really did have to try and sweep him out of the
00:30:37out of the business they've succeeded only in sweeping him straight to the backwards
00:30:41square leg fieldsman and that's a tidy catch yes it was there to hit it so how sweeping it
00:30:48sweeping it fairly hard but just a little bit of topics didn't keep it down there the ball just
00:30:53away from the body a bit straight to backwards square leg regulation catch by jones first
00:31:00record is down by the one so how a terrific one score in the tournament so far it's one for 30.
00:31:08new batsman imran khan coming out leading from the front at number three and rejecting those enthusiastic kiwi
00:31:14appeals that's crashed through the offside but a great stop chris harris at point throwing himself
00:31:23to his right that was a certain four but for that diving stop harris has been consistently outstanding
00:31:30they're brilliant on the field now every game that he's played just look at the commitment here in the
00:31:34effort saved a certain four he's taking some wonderful catches some runouts
00:31:41he's flicked away his drops flicked very hard to square leg by ramiz raj and andrew jones who caught
00:31:48and here's a health the first wicket of the innings has dropped what looked like they're hard to put
00:31:52straight forward chance yes but he went down on his knees to get down low to catch that
00:31:56and really he should have taken it and really botched that up and certainly one run it's a life
00:32:04to ramiz disappointment for morrison of course he hit that very well didn't he no word very well timed
00:32:11well ramiz won't mind a little bit of luck it's a tall order
00:32:16that's very very firmly struck through mid on pitched up by danny morrison
00:32:21ramiz raj are not really needing to move his feet much so certainly not deciding to
00:32:25but he's split the gap and he's raced away to long on
00:32:30he's just stood there didn't he and uh just followed through a full flourish
00:32:37that'll be four more this time danny morrison dropping short
00:32:41ramiz raj in complete control of his shot plenty of time to play and he's just flicked it over mid wicket
00:32:48there's two falls and two balls
00:32:50well that's edge through down towards third man it's going to be four it's no real distance down
00:32:58there and the outfield is very quick here it's a mistake for him from emran khan bringing him four
00:33:03runs yes well he certainly didn't want it to go there he was looking to go more over the top straight
00:33:08back over the bowler's head with mid off and mid on up in the circle but the edge was found and
00:33:15deepak fatale continues ramiz raj launches him over the gap into the into the spaces at wide with
00:33:21wickets that's a good shot from ramiz raj there's plenty of space out there he's picked the ball nicely
00:33:25he's hit it up and over that's four more runs yes very good execution here well up getting down and up and
00:33:35at the field of course with two catches in only two fielders outside that circle the first 15 overs
00:33:42it's the right shot
00:33:47and that's another great shot from ramiz raj that's six that's gone all the way from emran
00:33:53imran khan taking the offensive
00:33:57ramiz raj early in the over doing the same thing imran khan this time clearing the fence it's the one of the
00:34:01bigger boundaries to deep mid wicket yes well he is a clean striker of the ball and he's obviously
00:34:06got his iron now he's got used to condition he's the sort to score 4 000 runs in one day international
00:34:12so he's whizzed past that
00:34:18and he's away again timing is the other thing in placement his placement in the times i've seen him
00:34:23about has always been first class the other thing that's interesting he he is noted
00:34:30by cricketers around the world to be a good player of pace bowling plays well against the west indies
00:34:35pace bowlers but here we're seeing another side of his play because he got 119 not out against new
00:34:41new zealand on a slowish pitch at christchurch
00:34:56he had to tell the field but it was too far away from him ramiz raj was the batsman
00:35:06good fortune there for ramiz that one went very high in the air
00:35:10it's going to stop like a seven iron
00:35:25didn't quite get that off the meat of the bat
00:35:28it's held back there for two runs by the fielder and by his skipper imran
00:35:32later in the field
00:35:40new zealand won't be too perturbed to see ramiz playing shots like that
00:35:45reckon they would figure that the odds have got to be in their favor
00:35:50as we look at the target that is in case of rain
00:35:59vance coming back for it could be a good catch it is
00:36:02a super catch
00:36:08danny morrison
00:36:13that may be the one to swing this match back to new zealand
00:36:17pakistan making slightly heavy weather of it
00:36:19and ramiz rajah their most successful batsman goes
00:36:23and that's why new zealand wouldn't be too upset to see ramiz crying like that
00:36:29and to his credit john wright kept the fieldsman up he didn't push him back
00:36:33danny morrison there taking that catch the hit being into the wind
00:36:38ramiz is on his way and pakistan a two for 84 in the 22nd over
00:36:42and that is faced just one ball and try that again jumped me and that is the non-striker
00:36:57and it's two for 84
00:37:02danny morrison completing the catch to get rid of ramiz
00:37:05which will be watching
00:37:14well done johnty roads playback
00:37:22tell you what you've got to be up early to run java there
00:37:28he is a magnificent runner between wickets chris harris was the man
00:37:31and there's no way in the wide world you can give those out
00:37:40he's got the ability to nudge singles
00:37:44all day long so that brings up the 100 for pakistan 263 they've got to get to win
00:37:50so another 63 runs keeping the ball short of a good length
00:37:55i'm not giving the batsman too much width
00:37:58we smashed that one beautifully hit down the ground
00:38:01way up into the terraces what a magnificent straight six that was
00:38:06imran is going to cut loose here
00:38:08it's down the wicket to talk to him the puck he started is at this ground and out of their seats
00:38:13they haven't given up hope yet
00:38:18hitting with the wind and hitting straight was a big hit that's the biggest six we've
00:38:22seen today going way way back and really did Thomas Whitley he needs to do that and keep going
00:38:33good shot beautifully placed by meander that's four
00:38:38mcniverson shot
00:38:40four men out on the offside there and that wasn't good enough to prevent java from making a gap
00:38:47just a bit of width there as he perfectly placed cover drive the bottom hand there finding the gap
00:38:53he steered that through the covers it was a controlled shot
00:38:55man there under it caught imran's gone harris has the wicket
00:39:06and way back at deep square larson who's been bowling from the southern end in harness with harris imran is gone
00:39:26he was looking for the short boundary and not having to hit into the wind but it was just a top edge
00:39:33and straight to gavin larson so the top wicket taker in the competition has struck again chris harris
00:39:39in pakistan and three for 134
00:39:43imran sweeping harris and the ball getting rather a thick top edge
00:39:48for the wicket to go sally mullick's the new batsman
00:39:54charlie meander take a strike and a clever little stroke way down to the short boundary
00:40:02chris harris was appealing for lbw but uh it was signalled four there by umpire shepherd
00:40:09that's the reason why just a little tickle there from javid
00:40:18good value for television viewers as well that's imran's dismissal
00:40:24top edge skier to gavin larson he's pretty happy about it
00:40:28and chris harris already the leading wicket taker in the competition gets one more victim
00:40:43oh dear three for 140 after that missed field
00:40:47gone
00:40:55first cherry and gone
00:41:01salim malik has square driven the first ball is received from larson and he's hit it straight
00:41:08into the midriff of the man at square point
00:41:10and he hasn't had much of a world cup uh salim malik and that hasn't improved at any
00:41:18straight to rob latham he's gone for one and pakistan fell for 140.
00:41:25a pretty good start to his uh international career 15 innings and 200s already plus 250s
00:41:40and it's that type of stroke that has given him a reputation of being a beautiful timer of the ball
00:41:47lovely striker
00:41:51this is a bit of dissension in the camp but when imran got out
00:41:55jarbin was signaling to the dressing room for a left-hander and i assume that he was
00:42:01wanting wasi macram to come to the crease
00:42:05salim malik's dismissal one hand stroke court square that we get on the offside
00:42:10by robert latham
00:42:13now for one
00:42:21between the two fielders just four and this guy is
00:42:28a dangerous batsman only young should have no fear of a situation like this
00:42:33this has got a terrific record in the short time that he's been playing international cricket
00:42:46it's gone right over that fielder for a moment would have thought the wind was going to hold it up
00:42:56a beautiful strike lovely orthodox looking stroke just hit through the ball
00:43:06yes he's going basically into the breeze there too
00:43:18he's got that away into the area at mid-wicket
00:43:21and he's going to go for three
00:43:29that's very cool cricket from inzaman
00:43:32getting the ball into the gap
00:43:35his innings in that match against south africa his top innings his top score so far in the world cup 48
00:43:41that was in a situation where pakistan really had to get a move on and he did it pretty well
00:43:52it's a no ball call it's fallen in front of jipak to tell who's fumbled
00:43:56i just come back to the question in
00:43:58that uh it might be a case of which side holds its nerve now
00:44:05it's the only time we've seen uh when the games that we've done we've seen the new zealand
00:44:09fielding put under a lot of pressure was in the late overs in the south african match
00:44:14with the spinner operating now and the boundaries particularly one or two of them being rather small
00:44:19pakistan on the charge pakistan will believe that they can get these runs now
00:44:24this job it would never have been in any doubt that's a magnificent shot four beautifully cut away
00:44:32he's one of those players rather like kirsten darren drops anything short to him because he can give
00:44:37it a little nudge fine if the fieldsman happens to be square or cut it like he has done here
00:44:42yes we'll shorten white outside the off stump so that's not a good start for patel but me and dad of
00:44:46course as we know is a very efficient all-round player very very experienced had enough time to
00:44:52alter the shot and push it back past the bowler an easy single he's cheeky and once again he's got
00:44:59it away back with a point will they cut this one off yes i think he will two for me and dad great placement
00:45:07again so eight runs off the over so far
00:45:11that's four take it away full tosses outside off stump certainly not the name of the game here and we
00:45:22have a rare occurrence the sun has broken through there in auckland no need to worry about our
00:45:27weather tony it's nice just to get a full day's cricketer if you'd like to explain to me richard what
00:45:33that means no idea absolute confusion out in the middle there too john wright uh with andrew john
00:45:42wright the captain there falling over with chris harris the bowler in the meantime pakistan get
00:45:47another run so we've got a chaos out there at the moment a lot of pressure look at that total misunderstanding
00:45:55oh he's got that one away right into the middle of the gap four beautifully played and me and had
00:46:05wonders over to him and they have a what do they call it high fives a couple of high fives well we've
00:46:11got every reason to want to do that because my word and me and dad have really pulled this game around
00:46:16for pakistan new zealand look to be well placed at one stage but i think the odds are certainly in
00:46:21favor of pakistan at the moment new zealand have a lot of work to do they've really got to tighten it
00:46:25up but inzimam looks to be in commanding form he's raced to 40 and only 26 deliveries great shot that last
00:46:31one still notes there too and me and that very quick responds that brings up the 200 now
00:46:41so four down for 200 they need 263 to win
00:46:44he's got that one away too exactly the same place patel dropping it short this is the guy
00:46:53should have opened the batting magnificent shot there from imza marmal huck smashed it into the
00:46:58midwicket fence and the new zealanders just going a little quiet very quiet
00:47:04workhorse shot that was one's got to respect and appreciate some fine betting here too tony i mean
00:47:13you don't deny anyone success particularly when you see a performance like this particularly from
00:47:19inzimam particularly who for me the way he's going is sort of man of the match material isn't he
00:47:24he's turned it around it's deepak patel making the mistake that the other new zealand bowlers haven't
00:47:29got a couple of short balls there he goes again and that one down towards mid wicket again
00:47:42so 12 runs from that over
00:47:50get back this will be out of your heads
00:47:51it's his mask no he's not out no he's not out no way pleading the kiwis absolutely bleeding for the
00:47:58little finger of umpire or the big finger of umpire shepard to come out of his pocket but he got back
00:48:05easy well new zealand is certainly desperate for a wicket me and dad there perhaps a little bit too
00:48:08optimistic trying to get a single there morrison again coming in smith oh well three tight one but of course
00:48:16it looks as though it was a magnificent decision there by umpire sheep and of course when he gets
00:48:22as tight as that as we all know the veteran must have the benefit of the doubt 56 or 46 balls required
00:48:30really the way he got back there he's so quick that's got to be a wide however he got about
00:48:38he's gone to the fence well there we go the puck is tiny flag is really being held high now
00:48:47and the pressure getting to the kiwis morrison back into the attack the helmets are on
00:48:54this is do or die for new zealand as it ever sudden there's the semi-final
00:49:00four for 215 a very tense crowd boy have they got their money's worth this is morrison
00:49:07it's four wide delivery off the bottom edge it's gone flying away down towards third man
00:49:13and the third man because the wicket is slow he's fielding quite wide down there
00:49:19quite clearly you can't give these players any room and the lines are going to be far tighter on
00:49:23or about off stump and they give the batsman width and any edges can go anywhere and of course you allow
00:49:30the full flourish the full face of the bat to hit the ball to any part of the boundary so morrison not a
00:49:34good start and martin crowe the new zealand captain batted beautifully today for his 91 must be very
00:49:40worried at the moment oh he's hit that one in the air and into the gap it won't get to the boundary will
00:49:46it yes it will it runs in it was so high it looked for a second as if it's going to stop dead but it's
00:49:52going down to the boundary for four ends the mom oh huck new little beauty i think is what
00:49:59target is trying to tell him because really that's all you can say he's played an absolute gem of an
00:50:05innings well i mean how can you stop a player like this i mean somebody's having his day
00:50:10when everything's going right for him he's played some magnificent shots
00:50:13and that v for victory sign and the big beaming smile on the face of that pakistani
00:50:36was i should think exactly the way he drove me in that feels right now
00:50:40that's field and another single will they come back for the second yes he's coming
00:50:56expectant there but that was very tight and a few errors in the new zealand game there is a bit of a
00:51:04miss field but they went three for two patel very quick and a pretty good return too
00:51:08to ian smith missy javid will he had a lot to do well make up your own mind but
00:51:15and probably not a very good decision
00:51:19there's no way he can give him out there oh and that's gone this time
00:51:22he's gone this time absolutely right
00:51:24emzema now oh huck is out run out they have tried it once too often
00:51:29but i tell you what the kiwis are all out of their seats
00:51:32on the ground they've all gathered around this man has played a magnificent innings it's all come to
00:51:40the end and he's just wondering now as he wanders back to the pavilion whether he's taking pakistan's
00:51:47world cup chances with him well he's got 60 and 37 deliveries well it's that man harris again and he
00:51:53doesn't miss he's been absolutely superb in the field so pakistan 227 with the five in the 45th over
00:52:01he's when now huck run out from magnificent 60 he's turned the game around really and put pakistan
00:52:07with the real chance in the semi-final at eden park the young man a little bit slow between the wickets
00:52:12it was a photo finish and he really was straining this last couple of meters new zealand been trying
00:52:18to run java me and it out at the far end this time it's a great piece of feeling for chris harris
00:52:23diving in and uh inzema a foot or two short there so no problems for david shepherd to give that one
00:52:28out but great feeling by chris harris new zealand is still fighting this one right down to the wire
00:52:34they're not going to give up pakistan aren't going to give up this man wasi makram he's been known to
00:52:40win matches from this situation he's a great striker of a ball might not have the world's greatest
00:52:45average but believe you me if this man gets going then new zealand have still got problems
00:52:51let's see what he does but he's able to lay back on ball because if he does he can hit the ball a long
00:52:56long way that's the situation for pakistan they should win from here with fireworks in hand but so much
00:53:08pressure here at eden park anything could happen that partnership between java winsman l huck 87
00:53:14off 64 balls has put pakistan in with a big chance and the pressure now really on the new zealanders to
00:53:19defend this total of 262 umpire shepherd staying there as cool was a cucumber not sure about john
00:53:25wright the acting captain he's trying to get the field exactly right he's got tons of time to do it in
00:53:31wasn't acting was on strike he's won java at the other end's on 50. great finish to a great final
00:53:36david it's all building up tremendously here and no one's going to worry about taking their time
00:53:42john wright still john wright is still placing the field and he's going to make sure he gets it
00:53:47absolutely right certainly sudden death here at eden park and there's no way john wright's gonna make a
00:53:56mistake just by rushing things the pressure's really on the part with danny morrison he's been quite
00:54:01expensive danny morrison he's a quickish bowler no looking for 40 off seven 35 runs required 30 balls
00:54:07to be bowled the crowd all sitting on the edge of their seats full house at eden park event about 40 000
00:54:14morrison the bowler
00:54:21pushes it jarvis a bit sorry doesn't pick it up for once paris doesn't pick up it's been brilliant at
00:54:27cup at this time doesn't pick up the half volley there's been a lot of runouts in the world cup
00:54:31they are so important in the final overs well there you are normally speaking you might just have a
00:54:37theory saying that the side with the most runouts might be the side of the top of the table obviously
00:54:41australia have been knocked out already but england there they're in there south africa in there pakistan
00:54:46well they've done it the hard way they've not run people out they've won their matches with a
00:54:51combination of batting and bowling in the fielding well they've just taken what's come
00:54:54but certainly fielding in the world cup has been a major part of it it's always a question that the
00:54:59fielding side especially in these closing overs must keep their head must keep a cool head and just
00:55:04uh back themselves to win zealand was favorites in this match particularly when they made the 262
00:55:12for 750 overs they better beautifully crow magnificent 91 great support from rutherford with 50
00:55:18but now they're great performer jarvid me and dad he's as cool as a cucumber in a crisis he's been there a
00:55:23a fair while for his 50 he's been the anchor for pakistan inzaman al-haka magnificent 60
00:55:29imram and ramiz rajah 44 apiece 29 balls remaining
00:55:37java chips it to mid on just the single you can see wasn't akram he'll certainly go for this such a
00:55:43excitable cricketer with the ball wasn't akram he's flat out with the ball there's java giving instructions
00:55:48find the gaps take your time to have 51 of 63 balls face a strike rate of 81
00:55:58at the other end wasn't akram he's an excitable cricketer
00:56:05big hitter short boundaries 50 meters 60 meter boundaries here at eden park
00:56:10a lot of six has been hidden in this match already
00:56:13and it's denny morrison going around the wicket to wasn't akram
00:56:24harris for cover no run it's a dot ball listen to the crowd
00:56:30well every dot wall counts it's a reverse of every run counting
00:56:35martin crowe can do nothing about it
00:56:37he's watching from the bottom of the stand there powerless to control what goes out on the field
00:56:44that's in the hands of john wright already martin crowe's done a lot this competition and 91 again
00:56:49today set his side on the way to a big big total it's a horrible feeling and john wright there he's
00:56:55the man he knows what to do he's been through this before but not in a world cup semi-final runs are on
00:57:01the board aren't they for new zealand so they're still favorites but uh one feels it wasn't akram's
00:57:06very terry on stock there's stump vision see denny morrison coming in around the wicket to the left
00:57:10hander full toss he beats it that guy all the way that's far that's what pakistan wanted it was a
00:57:16full pitch was him akram new to the priest got back to ball well john wright knows that was him akram
00:57:21was very strong over long on and he's not got a man on the cover boundaries so akram giving himself room
00:57:27and he's found the gap that's perfect placement just what pakistan and akram needed at this stage
00:57:34morrison just straying in length there a little bit too full and giving the batsman room to hit
00:57:39imagine how the ball feels in john morrison's hands has been very expensive in front of his home crowd
00:57:48danny morrison john morrison is commentating in the comedy box next door it's all happening
00:57:53it's got to be a wide and it's cold morrison pushes it down lake side umpire shepard he's had a great
00:57:58series calls wide david shepard very confident this call here and indeed danny morrison
00:58:05straying down the lake side this time
00:58:09there's a lot of pressure out there for these boys
00:58:13and they're definitely under the spotlight you've got 40 000 of your home crowd here watching you bowl
00:58:17you've got many more watching on television you've got your first chance ever of a world cup final
00:58:22looming at the end of the match that is pressure that was the first wide bowled by new zealand in
00:58:29the innings it's in the bowl quite tightly he's hit that's down a mid-off there's a sweeper
00:58:35right there's just a single pakistan are doing enough here certainly batting with a lot of
00:58:44confidence javid me and dad the master batsman tactician controlling things in the center getting
00:58:50great support from was in akram inzaman al hak what a gem of a knock that was inzaman played like a man
00:58:55who'd been playing world cup cricket semi-finals all his life he came in when the situation was looking
00:59:00bleed for pakistan if he timed the ball he controlled the ball he kept his head it was only brilliant
00:59:05feeling from chris harris that eventually ran him out and that was a perfect innings at a perfect time
00:59:10for pakistan
00:59:13well it looks as though uh martin crowe's enjoying himself there a little bit of a
00:59:39nervous smile i think has done him yes i think uh he realizes that if he had been on the field maybe
00:59:47things might have been a little different he might have been able to control the happenings on the
00:59:54field but off the field you really can't do much well that's it four hours to be bothered five wickets in
01:00:08hand right still six point seven five per hour well if you are the batting captain now you'd fancy your
01:00:14chances and someone like javid me and dad there who's mega experienced in this sort of problem
01:00:21you'd say you'd have to back your side but imran khan now we just hoping that these two bats can keep
01:00:25their head was he mac brown who's partnering javidy and the javid me and dad he's a potentially lethal
01:00:32striker at cricket ball hasn't been in great form during this world cup so he'll be feeling the pressure
01:00:37just as much as all the other players out there on the field
01:00:40let's say everybody here at eden park's under pressure at the moment it's a magnificent semi-final
01:00:46quality match
01:00:50that's watson it's a leading edge and it beats cover point they're through for one
01:00:54wazimakram's trick he's coming back for the second he's very fast here's the throw he's home
01:00:58racing down the the track there was him akram he didn't even bother looking when he turned there
01:01:07akram he just went for two he got the far end turned on a sixpence and came sprinting back again
01:01:14pakistani supporters make as much noise as they can they're outnumbered here today at eden park not
01:01:18surprisingly but they'll be just as noisy
01:01:21watson around the wicket he's charged he's bowled him oh available wicket for new zealand
01:01:27wazimakram queen bowed for nine it's five for 238. well if anyone's kept the call ahead it's willy
01:01:34watson there he's kept the ball up he's kept it straight and he's defeated vlazimakram's
01:01:39belligerent intense akram down the wicket looking at the ball over the top but the perfect line and
01:01:46length from willy watson cramps him up and he's come off the toe off the pad onto the leg stump and
01:01:51pakistan's hopes dealt another blow there akram out for nine pakistan now 238 and six wickets down
01:02:04for grabs it was a vital wicket by watson he's remained cool he's only a quite a willy watch
01:02:09he's a good genuine seamer he's keeping the ball up he's knocked over wazimakram for nine at six for
01:02:16238 now only four wickets in hand for pakistan admittedly javis at the other end but the run rate
01:02:20required 6.81 per over well the run rate was up to around about eight and over at one stage needed
01:02:27by pakistan so they've certainly dragged it back from that and there isn't much margin for error left now
01:02:32meander of course the man in charge of the pakistanings he's going to dominate from now on
01:02:38it's noan khan the wicket keeper coming out john wright he's hard to be pounding away the acting
01:02:44captain was a vital wicket because wazimakram was all firepower for pakistan so the big guns are gone
01:02:50as far as hitting is concerned has to be placement now for pakistan no run man's very short
01:02:56backwood point that's right himself that 10 meters from the bat so there's four men inside the circle
01:03:04three very close and that was was a macram's fate there he's trying to hit over the infield
01:03:11watson saw him coming angled the ball into the leg stump but ricocheted into the stumps
01:03:15that's a great wicket for new zealand this time he beats him it's a single javid on strike
01:03:29there's certainly plenty of atmosphere here at eden park this afternoon
01:03:33it's a capacity crowd and still no one knows what the result of this match is going to be
01:03:38could still go either way one's on the board one gets the feeling now if they could pick up javid
01:03:44new zealand they could win this match and there's wright taking his time he's going down to talk to
01:03:47willy watson slowing the game down with john wright taking his time not panicking at all new batsman
01:03:56marlon khan having a word to javid me and dad in the center of the pitch
01:04:01that's actually very good thinking by john wright when the tensions mount when the players get two
01:04:05tents out on the field it's just quite a good idea is to slow it down and just to talk to a few
01:04:09people reorganize the field a bit and it's exactly the same for the bats from javid out there he's
01:04:14walking slowly around the place looking cool calm and collected he's had another chat with his
01:04:18latest partner mohan khan even martin draw on the bound is pretending to be relaxed but i bet you he isn't
01:04:25yes the third man brought up inside the circle the mid-wicket going out so there's three on the fence on the
01:04:30onside fine leg square leg deep mid-wicket they're hitting amongst the security men on the fence
01:04:35in the onside and he's javid me and dad on strike drive straight there's a man at long on
01:04:40mohan come through quickly for the first that's all
01:04:46there's only one right ticking up they really need a boundary here pakistan want to leave it too late
01:04:52well yes any boundaries would be welcome obviously with the run rate required being over
01:04:57six and over over one of all then you do need one or two extra glows to count there's always going
01:05:03to be a dot ball somewhere so a little boundary now we'll just raise pakistan's hopes again but
01:05:08still 23 runs needed from 19 balls and khan on strike many of the things in a huck has thrown the game
01:05:17wide open here we're coasting in pakistan but the run flow has stopped it's almost a trickle now
01:05:22bad ball that's four that's what they needed what's in buying a rare bad ball and no one can
01:05:30sweeping it past the fine leg inside the circle it's gone all the way for four the overest ball was six to 244
01:05:52who's your money on sunhill oh while javid me and others still at the crease i still fancy pakistan
01:05:59to do it against india and charjah he hit the six of the last ball of the match to win an incredible
01:06:07victory for pakistan so as long as he's at the crease pakistan is in with the chance in fact 19 runs of
01:06:1318 balls is eminently gettable john wright acting new zealand captain danny morrison has to bowl two of
01:06:23the final three overs and it probably will be chris harris to bowl the final over from the members and
01:06:29three overs to be bowled four wickets in hand for pakistan and what a final just had everything
01:06:36magnificent batting some good bowling some brilliant and in different fielding all tension all drama here
01:06:43didn't park well danny morrison's the man under pressure now he's got two overs left to bowl
01:06:51he's going to bowl to jump in me and dad this time
01:06:55john wright just setting the field is trying to relax his troops down again
01:06:59four men in the circle men everywhere outside the circle
01:07:03full toss and he just rides down the third man they surely look for two he falls over deepak patel the
01:07:13pressure showing here in park tall piece of fielding concedes the extra run that's the sort of ball that
01:07:20third man in normal circumstances you just come around comfortably pick up and throw back in
01:07:24the world cup semi-final in the balance and jolly me and it at the crease suddenly the pressure's there
01:07:32suddenly the mistakes come
01:07:35morrison's bold paid overs
01:07:390.1 balls nobody for 50 so it's been quite expensive so he's under pressure as well
01:07:45so having me and dad which is cool as a cucumber on strike he's 54
01:07:57drives into the gap get one harris i won't take the two here he's fielded brilliant when he does it
01:08:02again the throws wild but he was quickly to the ball harris a star in the field for new zealand
01:08:07this harris very quickly across the ground that deep cover there charlie me and they're correctly
01:08:15deciding not to risk it on this occasion coming back for two as it turned out of course the throw
01:08:21was wide and they'd have made it comfortable but that's not the risk you want to take with the game
01:08:25and the balance at this stage
01:08:35time
01:08:44time getting down to umpire david shepherd
01:08:48umpires under enormous pressure in the final overs as well to watch for the no balls that post
01:08:53decisions 16 runs off 16 balls there's been very few wide so no balls for new zealand have done it fairly
01:09:00well
01:09:00The field being rearranged for Mohan Khan
01:09:08Man's come in from deep cover and the field's down the leg side
01:09:12Full pitch, doesn't get it away, Harris in hits the stumps, Ricochet, not out, well filled with the back up
01:09:19Listen to the crowd
01:09:21Chris Harris seems to get everywhere
01:09:25He's hit the stumps yet again
01:09:31Again very very close, but again
01:09:34No way that decision was going to go against the batsman
01:09:37He's been very accurate Chris Harris with his throws all day
01:09:40Yes, he's been superb he's gets a 10 out of 10 for his fielding under pressure as well
01:09:44Really has counted, Harris has been
01:09:47There he stood up and been counted for New Zealand in the field Chris Harris a wonderful performance under pressure
01:09:5316 runs off 15 goals to be bowled
01:09:55Nicely placed, it's wider than that it went on, they'll go back for two
01:10:06Safely back, good fielding by by the way from the substitute fieldsman, but Pakistan now if they keep it cool
01:10:11Should win this final
01:10:13Well, it's still all to be done
01:10:16Still the pressure on
01:10:21There are plenty of gaps in this field too
01:10:22It's always a question just of that little bit of luck as to whether or not the batsman just hit the ball correctly
01:10:27Find the gaps get through the gaps before
01:10:29If it's hit straight the fielder they've got to feel it properly keep that under control
01:10:33It's all happening
01:10:35Great rule that circle will form in inside the circle it's made one day cricket the pressure really on the field inside now
01:10:43Oh, he's got away fine Patel's coming around this time. He picks it up cleanly. They're coming back for the second
01:10:48There comes Jarvan. He's struggling. He's there good running the throw was wide so Patel under pressure once again at third man
01:10:54He picked it up beautifully, but it was a wild throw
01:10:57Well, Mohan Khan has picked out Deepak Patel as a man to put under pressure down at third man
01:11:02previous one down there. He lost his footing this time
01:11:04He's turned and thrown and the throws come a long way wide of the keeper
01:11:08From third man down there. You've got to get it back to the keeper and get it back quickly
01:11:12Otherwise, these two boys are going to get through for two with no problems
01:11:20John Wright still chewing away there
01:11:23Trying to ease his tension
01:11:26Morrison on the ball this over
01:11:29Doesn't get a run. It's well bowled
01:11:33That's the over and 48 that was bowled
01:11:376 to 251
01:11:39Well, you were saying that history is against New Zealand here
01:11:48Yes, that's because no host team has ever won the world cup
01:12:041975 79 and 1983 the world cup was held in england england didn't win
01:12:111987 pakistan and india were the hosts they didn't win
01:12:151992
01:12:17australia new zealand the host australia are already out
01:12:21And use it and look like they will also make their exit today
01:12:25pull something out of the hat it's going to be
01:12:27chris harris to bowl the final hope from the members and two to be bowled to be morrison from
01:12:32in where broadcasting from here at eden park
01:12:34So you don't feel for those guys at all they've got the ball in their hand the perspiration will be there
01:12:39The adrenaline will be pumping and you've got 40 000 fans screaming out duck ball or wicket
01:12:45Well chris harris might be the leading wicket taker in this tournament but he's not been the most economical bowler
01:12:50There is a test of character
01:12:54This is it chris harris not a regular bowler
01:12:58at top level
01:12:59And here he is in a world cup semi-final with a big responsibility placed on his shoulders
01:13:05And he'll be bowling to javid miyandad
01:13:08And that's 55 not out pakistan need 12 runs to win with 12 balls remaining
01:13:12He's charged he's got a thick edge he's gone to watson at uh third man inside the circle just the single so javid looking
01:13:19He hit down the ground found the outside edge
01:13:23We end out looking at the shorter boundary over extra cover there and had he got hold of that
01:13:28We've got it over the man at extra cover
01:13:31That would have been four all the way even with the edge nick there
01:13:34There's only the man up on the edge of the circle at third man
01:13:37And so many times we see the wall flying through third man for four when that's the case
01:13:42He's trying to miss that's bad
01:13:50We must put back to ball pat to balls only two men close in short cover short mid-wicket and the pressure building with every ball here at Eden Park
01:13:59So easy from the comfort of the commentary box to pull the shots
01:14:03Moen Khan they're trying to angle this down directly to third man there is a man they're very fine on the edge of the circle saving that one
01:14:10No one can faces chris harris right coming in closer at mid-wicket covers quite short as well
01:14:19Swung it back with a square just a single
01:14:24Good closet throw to the ball was aimed so the tension building with every delivery here at Eden Park
01:14:30Mean Dad just with four boundaries has been here a long time really needs to find the boundary in this over
01:14:36Roller of chris harris's pace there being swept like a spinner by moen khan
01:14:43Harris is bowling into the teeth of the breeze here the teeth of the gale
01:14:49Mean Dad on strike
01:14:50He's charged he hit it straight down the ground there's a man defending long off he falls over for just a single
01:14:57So it's not over yet
01:14:59Look at that crowd the tensions enormous for the spectators they've been here since half past eight this morning
01:15:05They've been cheering every run when New Zealand was batting now the boots on the other foot
01:15:09Well every man in this crowd every woman in this crowd certainly had value for money today
01:15:18Big hit it's gone for six it's going all the way that's six over half
01:15:24Talk about good timing that was beautifully struck and if ever pakistan needed six runs this was the moment for it
01:15:33Bowen khan has hit this well back into the crowd
01:15:37He's taken the long handle to he sliced it sliced underneath it
01:15:4110 rows back into the crowd six runs
01:15:43Pakistan's target suddenly looks a lot lot easier
01:15:48That was the tenth six of the match
01:15:50Look at that three runs off seven boards because marlon khan the wicket keeper coming in under enormous pressures had the nerve and courage to have a long off for six
01:16:03Small ground even park but it's not easy to do when you've got 40,000 fans here and think of the millions around the world watching this telecast
01:16:10He's called it man up there at square leg he's defending it's going fine it could go all the way
01:16:14He's coming around quickly we die that's four runs and pakistan have won the first semi-final in park a magnificent performance by jarvid me and dad
01:16:26And look at that look at jarvid what a performance from the veteran a magnificent win when you're chasing 262 you have to do all the hard work
01:16:34Well the entire pakistan team has raced onto the field and no wonder this has been a fantastic batting performance by pakistan
01:16:42263 was the target always looked a stiff target at one stage the run rate required was up to eight nine and over
01:16:50Wickets kept falling key men got out in zamam all hacked their gentleman innings and then was run out just at a crucial time
01:16:56But jarvid me and never steered him home and mohan khan is the hero of the last overs
01:17:01As it turned out a six and a four off successive boys have been enough to take pakistan to victory
01:17:05Oh, yes, we've seen some great matches in one day the nations but none better than this one here at eden park
01:17:12New zealand one tossed a battered well they scored 262 7 of 50 overs the captain was magnificent scoring 91 and then pakistan and me four have done it
01:17:24Right at the end six for 264 jarvid me and dad the experienced cricketer batting through when the pressure is on
01:17:29But it was young inzaman al-huk. He was the man of the moment. He spoke beautifully when pakistan were behind him in that moment
01:17:35You cannot feel sorry for new zealand you can because they've led the tournament shaking hands with umpire shepherd
01:17:41We've done a magnificent job at the umpire baknoor and the crowd giving their home team a tremendous ovation deservedly so
01:17:48Well the new zealand crowd here at eden park with every right to be very proud of their team
01:17:53They've led the tournament all the way and it's only in the last few days
01:17:56Ironically their first defeat coming against pakistan at lancaster park at christchurch
01:18:01A completely different sort of match a much lower scoring game there
01:18:05But here at eden park in the crucial semi-final where there's no second chance here
01:18:09pakistan have come out on top and they thoroughly deserve their victory they've batted very well when it counted
01:18:15The disconsolate kiwis now taking what would have been a glorious lap of honor in front of their home crowd had they got into the final
01:18:21Now you can see the disappointment etched on their faces they will
