Pakistan have won the match by 93 runs (D/L) but both sides are eliminated and Ireland will join West Indies in the Super Eights. Many thanks for staying with us throughout the long rain delay ... from me, Martin Williamson, and a coughing and wheezing Will Luke, it's goodnight until tomorrow.

Man of the Match Imran Nazir

Inzamam leads the side off for the final time, acknowledges the applause and shakes hands with all the Zimbabwe side who have come on to meet and congratulate the Pakistan side. The rest of the Pakistan squad are also on the field and he hugs them all in turn as they applaud him.

Mohammad Yousuf to Mpofu, OUT, slow and loopy, driven to cover where Inzamam holds the catch. Huge grins all round, and Yousuf has not smiled more when he's scored hundreds. Even Simon Taufel can't help grinning

Mohammad Yousuf on to bowl. He has bowled just one ball in ODIs ...

  • Nazir ton leads Pakistan to victory

    Imran Nazir's destructive career-best 160 was the centrepiece of Pakistan's defiant 93-run victory over Zimbabwe under the Duckworth-Lewis method

  • So long, Inzi

    Like Bob Woolmer, this is not the way Inzamam-ul-Haq should have bid adieu to cricket, or at least ODI cricket, stumbling out of the World Cup disastrously

  • Pakistan players being questioned over Woolmer

    Mark Shields, the deputy commissioner of Jamaica police, said there was still no evidence of Bob Woolmer being murdered

  • Pakistan v Zimbabwe, Group D, Kingston

    Match home for Pakistan v Zimbabwe, Group D, Kingston
