The Latest: Pakistan 115-1 at halfway stage vs Bangladesh
LONDON (AP) — The Latest on Day 37 of the Cricket World Cup (all times local):
12:05 p.m.
Pakistan has reached 115-1 against Bangladesh at the halfway stage of its allotted 50 overs in the Cricket World Cup match.
It’s a solid start for Pakistan but so far nowhere near quick enough to reach the huge score it needs to stand any chance of boosting its net run-rate and overtaking fourth-place New Zealand in the standings.
Babar Azam has a 71-ball 57, including four boundaries, and Imam-ul-Haq is 40 not out off 48 balls.
The pair came together on 23-1 after Fakhar Zaman was out for 13.
