off Taibu's gloves, looks to
have injured himself there
Match State: Delay - Rain interrupted play
They're off again, rain really taking charge of this game, covers
coming back out
The large covers are being removed again. The rain seems to have
abated for the moment
The covers are back on - it's, surprisingly, raining again. The
groundsmen run around to get the heavy things back out in the
middle, stumps sent back
Messrs Bowden and de Silva stroll back to shelter, it seems every
time they get back out there the heavens open up again
The captains are joing the umpires out there
The rain has stopped but the covers are still on
They're shaking hands, Waqar and Heath, that would be game over it
seems
We are still waiting for official confirmation but it looks like
the rain won the day
We have confirmation..the match has been abandoned. Zimbabwe are
through to the Super Six stage of this world cup without having
beaten a single Test nation
The Zimbabwe team come out and start their lap of honour to
rapturous applause from the partisan crowd here at Queens
Pakistan are out of the cup, disappointment registering on the
faces up in their dressing room
England also exit the tournament on the back of this result
The Zimbabwe team make their way slowly around the ground, the
crowd is loving this
Taibu and Streak lead the parade, holding the Zimbabwe flag aloft
So that's all from Queens: Zimbabwe are through, with 14 points
from their 6 matches. They join Australia and India, on 24 and 20
points respectively
England are fourth in the group with 12 points, and Pakistan take 2
from here and get their tally up to 10
Thank you for joining us here at Queens. From CricInfo in Bulawayo,
thank you and good day

and misses, taken by Taibu standing up
And it's raining again, but they're still out there
Younis Khan in, but Anwar faces the next ball, the batsmen crossed
before the catch
at the pads, flicks it high to deep
midwicket, safe hands out there, Whittall in on the run, takes it
on the dive
easy runs to mid-on, he's really
conceding them here - 8.5 off the first two over

to leg
tapped to square leg
full, drilled straight to extra
cover

in the air, Ervine runs back and calls, should have it to Whittall
who was coming in, through the fingers, DROPPED
Drizzle getting a little heavier now - again
sliding down leg, fine leg
is up, off the pad to the rope very fine
driven back to the bowler
swept high to deep midwicket, no
one out there, that's high, Streak saves four running from midon
shorter, pulled nicely off the hip to
deep fine leg, top shot
The crowd getting very excited and vocal here
across the southpaw, bottom edge to
Wishart at slip
pitches just inside leg stump, plays
and misses, on the pads
seams away outside the line of
off-stump, sticking to that line, left alone
Inzamam comes out
gottim, he was asking for it there,
playing and missing everything outside the line, this time gets
the edge to the keeper
