2.17pm (12.17am PST) Please wake up and join the action again if you had gone back to bed already! USA could yet beat Pakistan. As per the rules, the hosts will bat first in the Super Over. Terrific game of cat and mouse all along: Pakistan made their way to 159 after being 26 for 3 at one stage, before USA lost their way despite needing only 56 from the remaining 45 balls, with eight wickets in hand. Join Ekanth for the first over of the eliminator.

Haris Rauf to Kumar, FOUR, this goes into a Super Over! Lofted over mid-off like a hero, and the game is tied! This will be the second Super Over of the tournament already, as USA keep their hopes of an upset alive. This was lofted beautifully under pressure, with Nitish making room and standing outside leg. Rauf went for a yorker, but it ended up as a low full toss. He chipped it nicely over mid-off, leaving Babar with a sour face
USA need 5 from 1... A four will mean a tie, and a Super Over

Haris Rauf to Aaron Jones, SIX, hoicked over wide long-on! Jones keeps USA's hopes alive with a timely six! Rauf angled this in, and ended up bowling a full toss which landed on leg. Whack it went for six!
