Starting to come down again
And they're off - again - this time it looks like they won't be
back soon
The groundsmen scurry around trying to get the covers on quickly
enough, getting heavier now
It's really pouring down here at Queens, this brings a new level to
rain-affected; having trouble covering the pitch, lots of wind
down there
Pitch is getting good and wet as the wind blows the cover off, they
struggle to cover it properly
Please stay with us for further updates
Very heavy downpour, spectators scurry around looking for shelter

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
