Cricket World Cup 2011 Daily: 23 February

4pm GMT The Spin Forget today's result, Andy Bull today writes about the minnows: "In praise of the Cricket World Cup's nine-to-five heroes." The email version (if you don't get it, why haven't you signed up yet?) also includes this strange tale: Today's Hindustan Times reported that prisoners incarcerated in a "sub-jail in Rajasthan" had gone on hunger strike to demand a colour TV to watch the World Cup on. They had, it transpired, "skipped lunch on Monday", which was a strong enough gesture to force the prison authorities to give in to their demands. Goodness knows what they could achieve if they passed up on tea too. . 3.32pm GMT And it's all over. Pakistan win by 205 runs , a pretty decent margin in an ODI. Following the ridiculous run out, last man Ngoche shoulders arms and is bowled. Afridi finished with 5-16 . 3.30pm GMT Kenya now 112-9 after a farcical run out. Still 206 short of the target. 3.25pm GMT: Kenya 112-8 after 32.1 overs chasing 318 to win Obuya goes for 47, deciding that he was running out of partners he went for some big shots and was finally caught at long on. 3.11pm GMT update Kenya 87-6 after 28.3 overs chasing 318 to win Kamande lbw b Shahid Afridi 2 3.08pm GMT update Kenya 85-5 after 27.5 overs Patel c Umar Akmal b Mohammad Hafeez 0 3.05pm GMT update Kenya 79-4 after 26.3 overs Mishra lbw b Shahid Afridi 6 2.50pm GMT update Kenya 74-3 after 22.2 overs Tikolo b Shahid Afridi 13 At least Kenya have surpassed their previous effort in this World Cup 2.10pm GMT update Kenya 43-2 after 12.2 overs Ouma c Kamran Akmal b Umar Gul 16 1.55pm GMT update Kenya 37-1 after 9.1 overs chasing 318 to win Waters run out 17 World Cup atmosphere Here's a nice piece by ESPN Cricket's Wright Thompson about the World Cup festival: "Bangladesh madly in love with cricket" 1.25pm GMT update Kenya 17-0 after 3 overs Shoaib Akhtar two overs for one run, Abdul Razzaq one over for 12 runs. 12.50pm GMT update Pakistan 317/7 50 overs Including 70 runs and just one wicket in the third PowerPlay Full scorecard 50s for Kamran Akmal, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq and Umar Akmal. Extras fell just four runs short of becoming the fifth half-century maker of the innings. Do Kenya have any hope of getting these runs? On Sunday they made just 69 all out against New Zealand . 12.30pm GMT update Pakistan 274/5 after 46.5 overs Misbah-ul-Haq c Otieno b Kamande 65 Pakistan cashing in on their saved Batting PowerPlay 12pm GMT update Pakistan 212-4 after 42 overs 11.30am GMT update Pakistan 155-4 after 33.4 overs Younis Khan lbw b Tikolo 50 10.55am GMT update Pakistan 110-3 after 24.4 overs Kamran Akmal st Ouma b Ngoche 55 10.40am GMT update Pakistan 87-2 after 20 overs 10am GMT update Ponting faces charges over TV incident Australia's captain will be charged after allegedly damaging a dressing room television set following his dismissal against Zimbabwe. The International Cricket Council told Reuters : "Ricky Ponting is being charged ... there will be a charge." There's also a Poll: Does Ricky Ponting need to calm himself down? . 9.55am GMT update Pakistan 40-2 at the end of the mandatory PowerPlay. Horribly expensive first half of his first over from Nehemiah Odhiambo - three boundaries and three no balls, followed by three dot balls. . 9.35am GMT update Pakistan 12-2 after 6.5 overs Ahmed Shehzad c Kamande b Odoyo 1 . 9.30am GMT update Pakistan 11-1 after 5.3 overs Hafeez c Waters b Otieno 9. A full length diving catch at short midwicket. And Andy Bull is now in the ground (in Delhi) and full of praise for the ICC. See comments below. . 9.15am update World Cup organisation The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, due to host the final, has been given the Health And Safety all-clear.

Go figure." . 9am GMT Pakistan v Kenya Pakistan have won the toss and will bat. You can see a scoreboard here . There will be occasional updates on this blog through the day/evening.
