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
CB Mpofu c Inzamam-ul-Haq b Mohammad Yousuf 1 (5m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20
Mohammad Yousuf on to bowl. He has bowled just one ball in ODIs ...
END OF OVER:19 | 5 Runs | ZIM: 99/9 (94 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 5.21, RRR: 94.00)
- Chris Mpofu1 (4b)

and so to Pakistan and Zimbabwe's final over in the tournament

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

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