00:00giving them the maximum 12 points, but England now in second place with eight points,
00:05and West Indies have only managed to win one game third,
00:08but England won't want to lose sight of the fact that that West Indies run rate, 5.46,
00:12is considerably the best in that group.
00:15Matches to come there will be England against Pakistan on Tuesday,
00:18and West Indies against Sri Lanka on Wednesday.
00:21In the one match played today in Group A, India defeated Zimbabwe in Bombay by eight wickets.
00:27Zimbabwe 135 all out after 44.2 overs,
00:31and India getting that target with a loss of only two wickets, 136 for two off 27.5 overs.
00:38And the position in Group A now looks like this.
00:41India top, three matches played, two wins, giving them eight points.
00:45Australia a second, but they of course can go top if they win the next match in that group,
00:50which is against New Zealand tomorrow.
00:52Trying to keep calm also, our commentators Jack Bannister, railing with, and first of all, Tony Lewis.
00:59And England come into this vital match with two changes.
01:02Out goes Pringle, and Chris Broad, and in comes Tim Robinson, and Neil Foster.
01:08So the team reads, Gooch, Robinson, Gatting, Lamb, Embry, Affie, Downton, De Freitas, Foster, Hemmings, and Small.
01:16And Pakistan Unchanged, Ramiz Raja, Mansur Akhtar, Salim Malik, Javid Meandad,
01:22Ijaz Ahmed, Imran Khan, Salim Yusuf, Wazim Akram, Torsif Ahmed, Abdul Qadir, and Salim Jafar.
01:29The umpires of Tony Crafter of Australia, and Mr. Ramaswamy of India.
01:34Pakistan have won the toss, and they put England into bat.
01:37And we join the England innings, the fifth ball.
01:41First over from Imran Khan. Imran is voting to Tim Robinson.
01:48Appeal for ABW that's turned down, the ball swinging into Robinson.
01:53But a great enthusiastic appeal from the whole of this vast crowd of Karachi.
01:58That's Imran Khan slanting it in with a new ball.
02:06There's a movement off the pitch as well, and clearly missing leg stump.
02:09He's out.
02:21Oh no.
02:23He dropped it.
02:24Now Robinson was on the way there.
02:25He got the nick straight to Salim Yusuf, and he dropped it.
02:29Well what a great piece of bowling, the big in-swinger, followed by the fast leg break.
02:35There's the outside edge, as straightforward as a wiki-keeper ever once.
02:39Down it went.
02:42And Wazim Akram is running away from us, the commentary end.
02:46Another lovely shot by Gooch.
02:58Well, the comforting sign for England here is the way Graham Gooch is playing on the onside,
03:04because one fault he does have when he's out of form is to play round the front leg.
03:09And twice now he's got Wazim Akram through mid-wicket for two in the first boundary of the innings.
03:22And Wazim Akram pitching short there, and Gooch pulling that away to square leg,
03:26and beautiful stroke.
03:29Nicely timed in front of square, four runs.
03:36Yes, no surprises for Gooch.
03:37He picked it up very quickly, just outside off stump, but there was a crack at the bat.
03:42He really middled it.
03:45Imran Khan to Graham Gooch.
03:50And Gooch is going for the hook shot, flipping it round, it's in the air, and...
03:54Yes, it's out.
03:55What a match run to the field there.
03:58Imran Khan, certainly a little bit too quick there for Graham Gooch.
04:02He didn't get in position to play that shot, tucked him up,
04:05and the ball going straight up in there.
04:07That's a great loss for England.
04:15Graham Gooch, fought Wazim Akram, bowled by Imran Khan for 16.
04:22England 26 for one, and we're in the seventh over.
04:24And as Ray Ilynworth said, just beating for pace, quite a bit of bounce, and Gooch in no position in the end.
04:31It was a very hopeful flick of the wrist.
04:34It went very high.
04:35Wazim Akram made his ground, and then once he was under it, it was always certain that he'd take a good catch.
04:41The new batsman is Bill Athey.
04:46He probably would have batted down the order if England had got off to a good start, but having lost that early wicket,
04:52he's come in now, and he'll be facing Wazim Akram.
05:00Oh, straight away, an edge of shot there, and just beating third man, Tosif, and Athey off the mark.
05:09Certainly a very streaky shot there for the first ball, a little bit wide to play at.
05:16A change of bowling at the commentary box end.
05:19Wazim Akram being rested, and the off's been a Tosif coming on now.
05:23Well, that's Bill Athey's answer.
05:31Down the wicket, and six runs.
05:34Beautiful stroke.
05:36Kader moved up into the circle.
05:38Athey down the wicket, six runs, and Kader moved back to the boundary again.
05:41But a beautiful stroke by Bill Athey.
05:44Yes, Athey's played all his shots straight away,
05:46and a lot of us who are pessimistic about him coming at three have to eat a few words.
05:51That was a superb straight six from Athey.
05:54Change of bowling at the scorebox end.
05:58Imran Khan being rested, and the man who caused England all the trouble in the first match,
06:03Abdul Kader, the leg spinner.
06:07Oh, and that's Tim Robinson ball.
06:10Slightly quicker delivery, which probably kept it a little bit low,
06:13but probably not quite the length for cutting,
06:16and Tim Robinson playing the penalty there.
06:18Stepping back to cut, and the ball hurrying through,
06:21beat him for pace.
06:31Yes, made himself a little bit of room here,
06:34but beaten as much for pace as, in fact,
06:38a lack of bounce.
06:39It didn't really bounce that high,
06:41but just looking leg spinner.
06:44Halfway up the stumps, fair enough,
06:45but you see the room he's trying to make himself.
06:47And beaten, as Ray said, as much for pace as anything,
06:54Robinson bold,
06:56Carter for 16,
06:57and the new batsman,
06:58England captain Mike Gatting.
07:03Go back, go back, go back, go back.
07:04Gatting, not happy with very much at this moment.
07:19Remonstrated with Athie,
07:20now going down the wicket to have a word with him.
07:23Thought there was a single.
07:25Athie explaining why he didn't think there was.
07:28Just pushed out on the offside,
07:30and Gatting straight away into that single.
07:32He played it at the right pace.
07:33Look how far down he's gone.
07:36Anything of a return there from Carter
07:38was the end of the England captain.
07:41Mike Gatting cutting at the ball there.
07:49Difficult to say if it just carried,
07:50but certainly it was a pretty firm shot.
07:54Now I know that it slipped,
07:55certainly stopped it,
07:56but whether it carried or not,
07:57it'd be difficult to say.
07:57Not really enough room for this one.
08:00Too close.
08:02And that carried just below knee height.
08:06A change of bowling at the commentary box end now.
08:08Salam Malik, an occasional bowler really,
08:11but he bowled a little medium pace
08:12as in the previous match,
08:14and did very well.
08:18Athie going for the sweep there.
08:19May well have just got a little touch
08:20going down to fine leg.
08:22Must be a couple of runs in it.
08:25In fact, Mike Gatting's made three,
08:27and there's a throw at this end,
08:29but Athie home as well.
08:32Good running there between Gatting and Athie.
08:38In the 24th over,
08:40moving on to 95 for two.
08:44A change of bowling now at the scorebox end.
08:48Kader being given a rest.
08:50And Salim Jaffa,
08:51the other left arm over the wicket,
08:52seam bowler.
08:53That's a good shot by Athie.
09:00Very neatly played.
09:02He picked up the length very quickly.
09:04It's just short,
09:05not very short,
09:06and just pivoted.
09:09It wasn't a full hook.
09:10It was more a pull and a steer,
09:11but beautifully placed between the two fielders
09:14on the deep onside boundary.
09:16Yes, there have not been many fours this morning,
09:18but Jaffa just picking it a little bit short,
09:19and Athie just whipping it away with a straight back
09:22to just behind square,
09:23and bisecting the two fielders at square leg,
09:25in the final line.
09:32That'll be one,
09:33there's two.
09:36That might well be three,
09:37and Bill Athie's 50.
09:41At first,
09:41he seemed not to time that,
09:43but then the ball ran and ran away from Imran Khan,
09:45who just flicked it inside the boundary
09:47as he hurtled over it,
09:49but that is a very good half-century by Bill Athie,
09:53who's 50 not out.
09:58England at 110 for two.
10:00That's Shor Mohamed,
10:01who's the substitute fielder for Abdul Qadir.
10:07And well played,
10:08Gadding picks the place.
10:10It was almost predetermined, I think.
10:12He was coming down anyway,
10:13but he knew exactly where there was space
10:16on the onside field.
10:17Four runs to Gadding.
10:30We'll have to be quick here.
10:31May hand at the fielder,
10:32and that's very tight indeed.
10:36Well, Athie did very well to make his ground there.
10:39As soon as May hand that picked it up,
10:40there was always going to be problems.
10:41It was a brilliant pick-up-and-throw by Meandert.
10:51Just underlines, really,
10:53the speed of thought and movement of Bill Athie,
10:56because he's accepted the call.
10:58He's gone like a hare.
11:00Brilliantly picked up and swooped on by Meandert.
11:02Hurls them down.
11:04Well, now the umpire's conferring,
11:06presumably about Abdul Qadir's eligibility to bowl.
11:10He's back on the pitch.
11:12He's still got five overs to bowl.
11:28Well, there's a peel for a stumping there.
11:29Mike Gutting thinking he'd hit the ball down to final egg,
11:32missing it and set it up for a run,
11:34and just finish it and back into the crease.
11:41A piece of very untidy cricket,
11:43because almost everything happened in slow motion.
11:46Gatting missed the sweep,
11:50set off for a run which wasn't there.
11:53Had the keeper been able to gather the ball
11:55and take the bails off with any sort of speed,
11:57then that would have been the end of Gatting.
12:08Well, that's a massive six by Mike Gutting.
12:12The rope's at 75 yards,
12:14but that cleared that and cleared the outer fence
12:1520 yards behind it.
12:17Magnificent straight six there.
12:18Well, that was his perfect answer,
12:21because he was not to the pitch of the ball.
12:24It happened to be a leg spinner.
12:26He was down,
12:26got himself enough room
12:28and a marvellous six.
12:30And again,
12:38nicely picked up by Affey,
12:40and that's going to be four runs
12:41over mid-wicket
12:42and beautifully timed throw.
12:44Well run again by the England pair.
13:07Temperature now nearer 100 than 90
13:09and still prepared to gallop through,
13:12turning ones into twos.
13:14Well, that was Mike Gutting's 50,
13:18just 1-6 and 1-4.
13:19He's faced 57 deliveries
13:21on at least his second pair of batting gloves.
13:26It really is a feat of physical endurance
13:28as well as mental endurance in this heat.
13:39Well, that was a very fast reaction
13:41by Javid Mjandad at short cover.
13:43He's fielded a lot of balls,
13:44saved a lot of balls,
13:45and that might just have been
13:47the most brilliant catch.
13:48Salim Jaffa to Mike Gutting.
14:01Just a little nudge,
14:02and that's four runs.
14:06Beautifully played.
14:08Just a little flick of the bat,
14:09and away went the ball.
14:11It's a very fast outfield now.
14:13I think a high total is in order here
14:15from both sides.
14:16Very high-scoring match in prospect.
14:18Yes, Jaffa straying in line,
14:22Gatting just waiting for it,
14:24turning it round.
14:37That's a beautiful shot from Athie.
14:39That's six runs.
14:41Beautiful shot.
14:42How well Bill Athie's played this morning.
14:46Gone for his shot straight away,
14:48but hasn't taken any risks at all.
14:51Just played what's on,
14:52and that's six to mid-wicket.
14:56Tercey Farbeet now has bowled seven over so far.
14:58Comes back to bowl at the scoreboard end,
15:00far end of the ground.
15:01Oh, that's another fine shot from Athie.
15:07Might just beat the fielder again.
15:09It trickles and hits the rope,
15:11and it's four runs.
15:14Well, it was a brave effort,
15:16that by Ijaz Ahmed,
15:17on the deep mid-wicket boundary,
15:18but Bill Athie has suddenly started
15:20to middle the ball.
15:21You can hear the ring on the bat, Jack.
15:23Yes, you can,
15:24and although it was a good effort
15:26by Ijaz Ahmed,
15:27it was a bit optimistic in the end
15:29to try and stop it without the aid of a boot
15:33and four more runs,
15:35and the Pakistan fielding
15:36just beginning to lose a bit of its sharpness.
15:41Oh, he bowled him.
15:45Well, that was the reverse sweep,
15:48but I don't think it's in Bill Athie's locker,
15:51that shot,
15:52and although there was no fielder down there,
15:54in fact,
15:54might have lost his leg stump.
15:58He didn't really shake for it,
15:59and yet,
16:00we must say this,
16:02this is probably the best innings
16:04Bill Athie's played in one-day cricket.
16:06Well, certainly on a par with that innings
16:08at Old Trafford,
16:10but why oh why,
16:11because it had two fours in this over,
16:14there was no real need to go on with it,
16:16but there can't be any criticism
16:18for an innings like that.
16:19103 balls,
16:20six fours,
16:22two sixes,
16:2286.
16:23Bill Athie just bowled by Towsieve
16:25to make England 187 for three.
16:29New batsman,
16:30Alan Lamb,
16:31score 187 for three.
16:34Gatting is still there on 60,
16:36and Bill Athie
16:36has gone for 86.
16:38The partnership realised 135
16:40off 145 balls.
16:45Now,
16:46Towsieve to bowl to,
16:47uh,
16:48Abdul Qadda bowling to Gatting.
16:49Well,
16:58that's tragedy for England.
17:00Both the batsmen well in,
17:02well set,
17:03and both wickets gone in
17:05space of two overs.
17:07The two new batsmen coming in together now,
17:09and that's really put pressure back on England.
17:11They were really looking for a big score there,
17:13but
17:13that could change the whole complex of the game.
17:16Yes,
17:25the sweep shot,
17:25the orthodox one this time,
17:27being
17:27the downfall of Mike Gatting,
17:29and how often it happens
17:30at the end of a big partnership.
17:33It's happened there,
17:34and now England have got to readjust their sights.
17:37Can't afford to lose another couple of wickets,
17:40but there's still
17:4012 overs to go after this 38th one.
17:45Coming to the wicket,
17:47new batsman,
17:48John Embury.
17:52Have to be quick,
17:54but Alan Lamb calling very quickly,
17:56and running quicker,
17:58and making it comfortable.
18:00Now,
18:0139 overs completed,
18:02England on
18:03190 now for four.
18:07Lamb on two,
18:07and John Embury
18:08just off the mark
18:09with that single.
18:15There's a shout,
18:16grab a W,
18:17and he's been given
18:18Coderre,
18:19hitting John Embry,
18:20full toss on the foot.
18:25And that really is tragedy now
18:27for England.
18:32Three wickets having fallen
18:33for five runs.
18:36And now,
18:37Pakistan really back in the game.
18:42That's John Embry,
18:44LBW to Coderre for three.
18:47The score on
18:47192,
18:49and 40 overs completed.
18:52Paul Downton
18:53is the new batsman,
18:54and
18:54in spite of the falling wickets,
18:56England's last 50 runs
18:58have come off
18:5857 balls.
19:21The new stadium,
19:23pavilion,
19:24and grandstand,
19:26commentary boxes,
19:27at the back of that stand.
19:35It's gone.
19:37A little nick,
19:39and
19:39Downton
19:40is caught
19:41Salim Yusuf
19:42fold Imran Khan
19:43for six.
19:45England
19:45collapsed further,
19:47203
19:47for six.
19:49We're in the
19:5043rd over.
19:52Well,
19:52Imran's ball,
19:53two or three
19:53deliveries today
19:54that have moved
19:54away off the same.
19:56Yeah,
19:56Tim Robinson dropped
19:57early on,
19:58and there again
19:59you see that ball
19:59just seaming away
20:00and Paul Downton
20:01caught in no man's land.
20:03Fine delivery from Imran,
20:04but
20:04the footwork
20:06wasn't particularly good
20:06by Paul Downton.
20:08But still a pretty
20:09fine delivery there.
20:11So England now
20:11really in trouble.
20:12They've no recognised
20:13batsman to come,
20:15and they desperately
20:15need Alan Lamb
20:16to make a quick
20:1730 or 40
20:18if they're going to
20:19get up to
20:19a 260 score.
20:22203 for six,
20:23and the new
20:24batsman
20:24is Philip De Freitas.
20:27So
20:27Wazim Akram
20:28returns
20:29for his
20:29fifth over.
20:31England have lost
20:31four wickets
20:32in the space
20:33of 16 runs.
20:37Oh!
20:39Well,
20:40he's a lucky man
20:40to be standing
20:41out there still.
20:41one thing that's
20:44noticeable,
20:45both these
20:45balls are making
20:46the ball go
20:46for the seam,
20:47and that one
20:48certainly came back
20:49a long way
20:50for the seam,
20:50so the England
20:51seam balls
20:51who are watching
20:52this won't be
20:52discouraged by that.
20:55Imran Khan
20:55to Alan Lamb.
21:00Gold him.
21:01Lamb has gone.
21:03Looking to cut
21:04a little bit of
21:05nip back off
21:06the seam
21:07by Imran Khan.
21:09And a faster
21:10ball to
21:11and Karachi
21:13becomes
21:15a great
21:17bowl of
21:17noise
21:18and clapping
21:19and support
21:20for their
21:20great hero.
21:22Another fine
21:22delivery by Imran.
21:24That really
21:24cut him back
21:25and cashing
21:26the leg stump.
21:27And it really
21:28is amazing now
21:29how much the
21:29ball is moving
21:30about off the
21:30seam.
21:31Certainly with
21:31the new
21:32ball it never
21:32moved about
21:33like this.
21:33And that really
21:34cut Alan Lamb
21:34into a fine
21:35delivery.
21:37206 for
21:38seven.
21:39Alan Lamb
21:40has been
21:40bowled by
21:41Imran Khan
21:42for nine
21:43and we're
21:44in the
21:4445th over
21:45and England
21:46truly collapsing
21:47now.
21:48This is
21:49Neil Foster.
21:50And I suppose
21:51all that started
21:52with a very badly
21:52played reverse
21:53sweep shot by
21:54Bilafi.
21:54in the 45th over
21:57Imran Khan
21:58to Neil Foster.
22:04That'll be
22:04four runs.
22:08And if you'd
22:08chosen a place
22:09to hit the
22:10ball you
22:10couldn't have
22:11picked a better
22:11one.
22:112.23 for
22:15seven.
22:26Well that's
22:27logged away
22:28by Foster.
22:29It's a very
22:30good shot
22:30indeed.
22:30He improvised
22:31picked his
22:33spot on the
22:33leg boundary.
22:35De Freitas
22:35rather.
22:35It's De Freitas
22:36picked his
22:37spot on the
22:38leg boundary
22:38and that's
22:40four runs.
22:42Yes that's
22:43De Freitas
22:43favourite spot
22:44over mid-wicket
22:45and this time
22:47the length
22:47was just right
22:48just short
22:48of a length
22:49picking it
22:50on the up
22:51cross batted
22:51away to
22:52mid-wicket.
22:53And a field
22:53is now being
22:54put out in
22:54that vacant
22:55area and that
22:57really is De Freitas
22:58his main
22:59scoring shot
22:59down there.
23:012.30 for
23:02seven and
23:03Imran Khan
23:04is voting
23:04the last
23:05but one over
23:06Philip De Freitas
23:06the batsman.
23:08and that's
23:12out
23:13caught
23:13behind
23:13Sally
23:14Mussef
23:14a brilliant
23:15catch
23:15and Pakistan
23:17continue to
23:18rack this
23:18in innings.
23:21De Freitas
23:21caught by
23:22Sally
23:23Mussef
23:23pulled by
23:23Imran Khan
23:24for 13
23:26230 the
23:30score
23:30for the
23:32loss of
23:32eight
23:32wickets
23:33and the
23:35new batsman

23:42maybe
23:42Ray
23:42Lingworth
23:43has a
23:43word or two
23:44of optimism
23:44about England's
23:45chances.

29:32end
29:32Graham
29:33Gooch
29:34going to
29:34be given
29:34a few
29:35overs
29:35Mike
29:36Gatting
29:36probably
29:36trying
29:37the same
29:37tactics
29:37that
29:38Imran Karn
29:38used when he
29:39bowled Salim
29:39Malik
29:40used to get a
29:41couple of
29:41overs in now
29:42and give him a
29:44little bit of
29:44spare leeway
29:45later on
29:46when the
29:46pressure's really
29:47on
29:47Ramesh
29:49Ramesh Rajah
29:51Ramesh Rajah really making room for himself
29:56trying to get that through the offside
29:57but probably just stopping a little bit on him
30:00and the ball going to mid on
30:0121 overs completed
30:0470 for one week
30:05Ramesh Rajah on 34, Salah Malik on 4
30:08Gladstone Small to continue at the scorebox end
30:12he was bowling to Ramesh Rajah
30:13Struck on the pad
30:17good appeal for Abu Dhabi by Gladstone Small
30:19I think the England team are quite surprised
30:21and in fact they appeal for a run out at the other end
30:25appeals all round
30:28but I'm afraid to no avail
30:30that was a very good shout
30:32yes I was very very close
30:34they must have just given him the benefit of the doubt there
30:37and now the
30:40steady crescendo of hand clapping
30:43because they all expect Ramesh Rajah to go from 49 to 50
30:47let's see
30:47off he goes
30:49and that's not a bad feeling
31:00having 40,000 spectators
31:02applaud your half-century against England
31:05came off 78 balls
31:09and Ramesh is it 1-4
31:11last ball
31:1526 over
31:16and the applause for
31:28100 up
31:30of 156 balls
31:3250 runs coming off
31:34the last 65
31:35and Pakistan
31:37I think
31:37they are well set
31:39for a victory here
31:39yes they look very confident
31:41at the moment
31:42they run rates roughly around
31:43about what England's was
31:44but
31:45don't have to forget
31:46that England went on
31:47287 for two wickets
31:49so they've still got a long way
31:50to get
31:51near that score
31:52oh dropped it
31:56where Ramesh gets a second escape
32:00Phil Athie is the unfortunate fielder
32:04it's not as easy a chance as the one previous to Mike Gatting
32:08but
32:09a definite chance
32:10without any doubt at all
32:13again they have to be quick
32:17but
32:18Ramesh Raja pretty quick between the wickets
32:21on the scotten 111
32:23and the 50 partnership between these two
32:25came off 67 deliveries
32:27and it's Neil Foster to continue
32:30to Ramesh Raja from the commentary box
32:32bit of misfortune there
32:42for Neil Foster
32:43that was a real rush stroke
32:45and the ball just clear in the top of the bat
32:46Ramesh is obviously feeling very frustrated
32:50and I don't think there's any need for that
32:52six runs and over required
32:54we've seen how many are gettable
32:55in the last 20 overs
32:56he's 61 not out
33:00he's serving the side much better by
33:01paddling the ball into the spaces
33:04as he has been doing
33:05fine shot
33:14well this was a predetermined stroke by Ramesh
33:26took a yard down the wicket
33:27never got to the pitch
33:29but hit through the line
33:30and the ball really whistled away
33:32wide of mid off for four runs
33:33John Embry
33:34has bowled five overs
33:3614 very tight overs
33:38now can he do that again for England
33:40England badly need
33:41half a dozen
33:42very tight overs
33:43just to
33:45increase the run rate
33:46that's a good shot
33:52fine shot
33:55extra cover
33:56change of bowling
33:58return of Gladstone Small
34:00he's bowled four overs
34:01for 21
34:01panic again
34:06oh
34:07and still the ball keeps missing the stumps
34:10it's almost as if England
34:15are simply not destined to take a wicket
34:17two catches have gone down
34:19and several near
34:20misses of the stumps
34:21which would have brought run outs
34:22well there's no doubt
34:23if Robinson had hit the stumps here
34:25Ramesh Raj would have gone
34:26bad misunderstanding
34:28good fielding
34:29underhand throw
34:30and just missing the stumps with
34:33Ramesh well out of his ground
34:35oh
34:41how frustrating for England
34:47just four of that over
34:51so a good over by Gladstone Small
34:53just take a look at that again
34:54leading edge by Ramesh
34:56and that's
34:57the agony
34:59for the England bowlers
35:01well
35:05Lambert to Ramesh Raj
35:06it was short
35:07he pulled it away in the air
35:08but
35:08just avoiding
35:09Gladstone Small
35:10on the boundary
35:11and going for four more runs
35:13an appeal for a stumping there
35:26certainly
35:26well taken by Paul Downton
35:28the ball spinning down the leg side
35:30it must have been
35:32very close indeed
35:33well the bells came off
35:37very quickly
35:38and
35:38I think Downton thought
35:40he'd got him here
35:41it's a stray there
35:42right foot's gone
35:43left foot
35:44bells have already gone
35:46well
35:56Salim Malik
35:57really throwing the bat
35:58at that
35:59on the up
36:00a little bit wide
36:01from Gladstone Small
36:02but not that bad a length
36:04and that really
36:05rocketing away
36:06to the third man boundary
36:07Salim Malik
36:12at his extravagant best here
36:14foot not anywhere near
36:16but my word
36:17the bat
36:17the full treatment
36:19and that's the 100 partnership
36:21coming off
36:23122 balls
36:24well again
36:26on the up
36:27this time
36:27by Salim Malik
36:28through extra cover
36:29much better stroke
36:30than the previous one
36:31that was really
36:32a beautiful stroke
36:33timed
36:34foot to the ball
36:36and it's
36:36spread away
36:37to the extra cover boundary
36:38so things looking
36:40very black
36:41for England
36:41at the moment
36:42well a much more
36:46orthodox stroke here
36:47nothing wrong
36:50with the footwork
36:51on the up
36:52lovely shot
36:55the landmarks
37:11coming thick and fast
37:12Salim Malik's 50
37:13came off just 63 balls
37:16including three fours
37:18two in that one over
37:19from Gladstone Small
37:20that's a magnificent flow
37:29by Salim Malik
37:30Gladstone Small
37:33yet again
37:34pulling the ball
37:35down short
37:35and Salim
37:37upright

37:39to mid-wicket
37:40a magnificent shot
37:43played off the front foot
37:44187
37:46now that was
37:47a very important
37:47watershed
37:49that particular
37:50number for England
37:53because on 187
37:54they lost the wicket
37:55of Bill Affey
37:56who'd batted beautifully
37:57Affey was
37:59trying a reverse sweep
38:01at Torsi Farmer
38:02it was bowled for 86
38:03and Mike Gatting
38:04who'd got 60
38:05was out to Kadia
38:07for the same score
38:08that I'm afraid
38:14is Ramiz Rogers
38:15answer to my
38:17speculations
38:17and prognostications
38:18well he's prepared
38:26prepared to improvise
38:27look at the room
38:28he's made himself
38:29so De Freitas is ready
38:41193 for 1
38:44beautiful shot
38:46lovely shot
39:03loosening half volley

39:29coming up
39:30256 balls
39:31the last
39:3450 or
39:3442 balls
39:35well I do feel sorry
39:52for Philip De Freitas
39:53he's had two spells
39:54off the field
39:55with tummy trouble
39:57and he comes back
39:57on a steaming hot day
39:59with a temperature
40:00100 and just over
40:01to find
40:03to find
40:03Sally Malik
40:04and Ramiz
40:04Raja
40:04in tremendous
40:05form
40:06nothing harder
40:08in cricket than that
40:09203 for 1
40:10oh
40:13and then a nip
40:15that's how the luck goes
40:194 runs
40:20and 14 off the over
40:25well when the luck runs
40:27it runs
40:28just evading
40:29Paul Downton's glove
40:31streaky 4
40:32but
40:32they're all the same
40:34in the book
40:3535 needed
40:36of 6 overs
40:38and Philip De Freitas
40:40to bowl to that man
40:42Ramiz Raja
40:43on 99
40:44Ramiz is ready
40:52De Freitas is not
40:53the crowd are ready
40:55oh
41:04a great throw
41:06a great throw
41:06by Garing
41:06but Ramiz Raja
41:08has got his century
41:10and deserves
41:12the acclaim
41:13of 40,000
41:14Pakistan supporters
41:16who are packed
41:18into this national stadium
41:19at Karachi
41:19217 for 1
41:23Gladstone Small
41:25to Sally Malik
41:25Malik is 80
41:27not out
41:28looks
41:33so very easy
41:34Salim Malik
41:48just allowing the ball
41:49to come to him there
41:50picking it up
41:52as it goes
41:53towards the leg stump
41:54and into the vacant
41:55mid wicket area
41:56former runs
41:56this is
41:59John Embry's
42:00tenth
42:00and final over
42:02he's caught him
42:09at last
42:10something stuck
42:11Bill Affey is the man
42:15who held
42:15a low catch
42:16he dropped
42:17an easy one
42:17earlier on
42:18but he'll settle
42:19for that now
42:19it brings to an end
42:21a marvellous
42:22thing
42:22from Sally Malik
42:23Port Affey
42:24bold Embry
42:2688
42:26and the score
42:28228 for 2
42:29in the 47th over
42:30here's some well
42:32bulge on Embry
42:33he's come on
42:34for just one over
42:35and both those
42:36deliveries
42:37he got right
42:37into the batsman's feet
42:38and that was
42:40the problem
42:40for Sally Malik
42:41couldn't really
42:43get it away
42:44and Bill Affey
42:45doing the rest
42:46right into his feet
42:50there
42:50the ball
42:52just carried
42:52into Bill Affey
42:53in a good diving catch
42:54but Javid
42:56Meandad
42:56is the incoming batsman
42:57rather a daunting
43:00sight at any time
43:01but
43:01at 228 for 2
43:04very uninviting
43:08indeed
43:09as far as England's
43:10concerned
43:10it was in the air
43:16Meandad
43:20and
43:24Meandad
43:25nearly caught
43:25and ball
43:25there
43:26first ball
43:26looking to hit it
43:27on the offside
43:28a little bit of spin
43:28and just
43:30evading
43:30John Embry's
43:31outstretched hand
43:32matter of inches
43:33well that was
43:41positively brutal
43:42by Javid
43:45Meandad
43:45that's really
43:46rubbing it in
43:47full length
43:52from small
43:52outside off stump
43:53but
43:54Meandad
43:55just
43:55heaving that
43:56away
43:57wide of mid
43:57on
43:58and forehand
43:59I don't think
44:00Javid's going to
44:01waste too much
44:02time here
44:02looking for ones
44:03I think he'd be
44:04looking for fours
44:06Gladstone small
44:09to Ramiz Radha
44:10oh
44:15just
44:17hopped out again
44:18a wonderful stop
44:20in fact
44:20but
44:21technically
44:22that was a catch
44:22to Mike Gatting
44:23yeah
44:26she could put it
44:26down as a catch
44:27but I'd really
44:27put that down
44:28as a nice piece
44:28to Freedling
44:29diving full length
44:30to his right
44:31only a couple of
44:31inches off the ground
44:32and if that had
44:33stuck
44:34it had been
44:35very lucky
44:358 to win
44:38of 12 balls
44:39Ramiz Radha
44:40107
44:41not out
44:42is facing
44:42the bowling
44:43of Philippe de Freedles
44:44it's in the air
44:55it's a long chase
44:56for Alan Lamb
44:57it'll just be
44:59it'll just be the
44:59two runs
44:59but I don't think
45:02they're going to
45:03try and get
45:03these in singles
45:04Raymond
45:04no I think
45:06the only chance
45:07that England
45:07have is if they
45:08take about
45:08five or six
45:09wickets
45:09that's the only
45:10way to stop
45:11them scoring
45:11the runs
45:12last but one over
45:1811 balls left
45:20six runs to win
45:21and that's four
45:26beautifully played
45:31by Ramiz Radha
45:32no trouble at all
45:40they had a fine shot
45:42I feel a bit
45:43sorry for
45:43De Freedles there
45:44he bowled a magnificent
45:45opening spell
45:46of five overs
45:47for 11 runs
45:48there he's been
45:49off the field
45:49most of the afternoon
45:50with a stomach complaint
45:51and to have to come
45:52back in this
45:53eight and bowl again
45:53is a very difficult
45:54thing to do
45:55two to win
46:01ten balls
46:02two to win
46:11off nine balls
46:12I think you only
46:13fail to do this
46:13if you're in
46:15on Fantasy Island
46:18or maybe in a storybook
46:20England facing
46:24the height of
46:25impossibility
46:25Pakistan
46:26two to win
46:28he's out
46:31he's caught
46:32at mid on
46:33so Ramiz's long
46:36innings of 113
46:38has ended
46:39caught by Gucci
46:41at mid on
46:42off the bowling
46:43of Philip De Freitas
46:44113
46:47the third
46:48goes down
46:49at 243
46:50there's a
46:57sad end there
46:58for Ramiz
46:59Rajah
47:00really has
47:03played
47:03magnificently
47:04and
47:04would have been
47:05justice for him
47:06to see it through
47:07but he's done
47:09the job
47:09well done
47:10for Pakistan
47:10and
47:11he knows
47:12he's seen them
47:12safely home
47:13bit of reward
47:15for De Freitas
47:16who's bowed
47:16very well indeed
47:17in the few overs
47:18he's had
47:18and coming back
47:20after a stomach
47:21complaint
47:21all afternoon
47:22probably Pakistan's
47:26best performance
47:27of the four matches
47:28they've played
47:28the other three matches
47:30they could well have
47:30lost them all
47:31but the matches
47:32scrape home
47:33but they have played
47:34very very well indeed
47:35in this match
47:35see De Freitas
47:38keeping the ball
47:39right up
47:40Ramiz going
47:42for the
47:42big hit
47:43trying to get
47:44weight on the
47:45back foot
47:46and just
47:46ball going
47:47very steady
47:48there to
47:48Graeme Grouch
47:48at mid on
47:49but it will be
47:57all over soon
48:00barring miracles
48:01Ijaz Ahmed
48:02is the incoming
48:02batsman
48:03two runs to win
48:07Pakistan
48:07require
48:08eight balls
48:09left
48:09Philip De Freitas
48:10well stopped
48:17well stopped
48:19by Graeme Gooch
48:20so De Freitas

48:58an awful long time
49:00they have really
49:01made a deep
49:02impression
49:03on this competition
49:03so it was tough
49:06going from the
49:07start for England
49:08as soon as
49:08Ramiz and Manthor
49:10got into their strides
49:11opening partnership
49:11of 61
49:12and then of course
49:13Ramiz at
49:14marvellous century

49:17with Sally Malik
49:18put on 167
49:19of 175
49:20balls
49:21Sally Malik
49:22being out
49:23for 88
49:23tough time
49:25for the England
49:25bowlers
49:26Philip De Freitas
49:27especially
49:27suffering from
49:28tummy trouble
49:29was on
49:29and off the
49:30field
49:30at the same
49:30time
49:31De Freitas
49:32got one
49:32wicket
49:32Embry got
49:33one
49:33but it was
49:34hard work
49:35and in the
49:35end
49:35247 for 3
49:37was the
49:37Pakistan score
49:38they won
49:39with 6
49:39balls to spare

49:52future depends on
49:53it

50:12crucial
