00:00That's away fine, that'll be four more because the fielder deep on the leg side is at deep
00:09backward square so 11 for no wicket off the very first over.
00:17Lifted over the infield and just one bounce before it crosses the boundary in front of
00:22the tavern stand.
00:30That's a much better shot, that's beaten Troughton and will race up the hill to the grandstand
00:34boundary.
00:39His economy rate is really good since he came back from injury.
00:44That's gone straight up in the air, this is going to be the first wicket, Vaughan takes
00:47the catch.
00:49May have been a bit of heart in mouth, Vaughan's been known to put one or two of those down
00:52but Flintoff gets instant success, Vaughan takes the simple catch and Imran Nazir's gone
00:57for eight.
01:01Well Imran Nazir there, I don't know what he was trying to do.
01:09Too much leg side from Anderson and flicked away by Hafez, it's a good boundary.
01:16Clipped away, gone, straight to Clark at square leg, Gough has got the breakthrough and Hafez
01:28has gone now, it's both the openers gone.
01:34That's the way to play the shot, Hameed working that away through the leg side, all along
01:41the ground, beautifully played, his first boundary, Cornbold, leading edge, Yassir Hameed
01:53has gone, looking to play across the line, he can't do that when the ball's seeming around,
01:59Flintoff has got his second wicket, this is a really good spell from the big Lancastrian.
02:04That's flicked away, that'll go all the way to the boundary, it does, that brings the
02:1250 up for Pakistan.
02:14Giles and Vaughan are spinning options as well.
02:17There's the wicket, that is a big wicket, opening the face, trying to run it down to
02:23that third man area, Yusuf Yohanna, he's gone.
02:30Oh, it wasn't that short, but he's latched on to it very quickly, he's calm, he'll pick
02:35up a boundary there.
02:41It's a good shot, just too much swing, just the line slightly wrong, but it was put away
02:51very effectively.
02:56Top edge goes wide and short of square leg, but does reach the boundary, that's a welcome
03:01boundary for Pakistan, it's been a long time since they've crossed that rope.
03:08Edged and gone, Flintoff's got his third wicket now, this is a wonderful spell of bowling
03:13from the big Lancastrian, Shoaib Malik gone, just nibbling that through to Reid.
03:2350 for Younis Khan, off just 71 balls, she's 18.50 in his 86th match.
03:42That's a fine shot, he's clubbed that many a row back into the crowd.
03:50Emphatic way with which to bring up the 1.50 for Pakistan in the 42nd over.
03:56Top shot because he read the slow delivery very nicely.
04:04Straight away middling it because he read the ball very early.
04:12Well improvised shot and well struck shot.
04:18The fight back has started it seems for Pakistan, Younis Khan has played a good innings here,
04:23between them Rizak and Younis just looking to accelerate and make the most of these last
04:27eight overs.
04:30Still a lovely shot in its own way, not graceful but effective.
04:40He might have his first of the day here and he does.
04:46Leading edge just didn't go anywhere.
04:49McGrath has taken the catch, simplest of chances for him, James Emerson has now got his name
04:55on the list amongst the wicket-takers here at Laws today.
04:59Rizak is the man on strike and he's got that over the top of Solanke.
05:09But that first one's going to go for four.
05:12It was up there to be driven and driven it was, beautifully so.
05:16Right through extra cover, drilled away through there for four more.
05:19Three overs in a row there which basically brought ten and over.
05:24Last one has been Mouri Kanouye but that has gone on top of the roof.
05:35The length ball, maybe slightly short of a length has just disappeared.
05:40Well these two are very very exciting young all-rounders and this one was clobbered.
05:45Gone, dispatched.
05:48Massive hit from Azer Mahmoud.
05:54That's crashed away as well, that's going to be four more.
06:03That's straight through the man at extra cover.
06:09That's another massive blow.
06:12Solanke's out there, much bigger boundary going down towards the tavern
06:17and that is a magnificent innings.
06:21Fifty coming up for Abdul Rizak in just 41 balls.
06:25Played second fiddle to Yunus Khan when he first came in
06:30but he's made the stage all his own now.
06:35Another strong hit and that's beaten Clark.
06:40That really did race to the fence.
06:43It's wonderful one day of cricket is this.
06:46Just the technique of both batsmen out there, Rizak and Mahmoud.
06:52Smashed down the ground again.
06:56Another straight boundary, hit very very hard.
07:01That's gone high.
07:04Treskothic calls for it and takes the catch.
07:07Kind of a marvellous innings from Abdul Rizak.
07:1064 he made, he faced just 53 deliveries.
07:16A wonderful effort when Pakistan were in real trouble at one stage.
07:21165 for six.
07:28It's unlucky from Flintoff.
07:30Giles' round, are they going to risk a third run?
07:33No, they're going to get four.
07:35Giles can't get there.
07:38A boundary completes the Pakistan innings.
07:43229 for seven.
07:46England giving the run around in the closing overs.
07:49When Giles came out of the attack, the run started to flow against the seamers.
07:54The last ten overs producing no fewer than 91 runs.
08:00Treskothic's come a long way down.
08:04England are going to pick up a bonus here.
08:06There's a very long run for Abdul Rizak.
08:09Is the ball going to reach the rope? Yes, it is just.
08:12So what should have been an England wicket has turned into a boundary for them.
08:17This is total lack of communication here between everyone.
08:21Not just the English batsmen, but even the Pakistani fielders.
08:28We saw that shot at the oval, one in fact went for six.
08:31This one's gone for four.
08:33Rai, smile from the bowler, good play by Treskothic.
08:41That's beaten the point fielder, that'll run down the hill for four.
08:45So much more expensive over.
08:46Two Treskothic boundaries coming from the third over.
08:49Fourteen for no wicket.
08:54Nice straight bat again, that's a beautiful shot from Solanke.
08:59Bowler bowling at nearly 90 miles an hour and he gets it hit straight past him.
09:03He won't be impressed.
09:09That's a superb delivery.
09:10This time Solanke will have to go.
09:12Immediate revenge for Mohamed Sami.
09:15Solanke goes for 12.
09:17England 24 for one in the sixth over.
09:23He's gone for the pull, he's skied it and he will get away with it.
09:27It's a no ball as well.
09:31And in the end, five runs will be added to the total.
09:34One for the no ball, four for the boundary.
09:41Well, that one is hit very well.
09:44And well, it wasn't the best of efforts out on the boundary.
09:47It was travelling, it was picked up nicely by Michael Vaughan.
09:51It is one of the shorter boundaries.
09:57That's a good flick.
10:02Oh, brilliant.
10:06But denied.
10:07It was the perfect delivery from Mohamed Sami.
10:11Something he's been striving for all day.
10:16He had got through the defences, but no ball.
10:21Great shot, four.
10:32Beautiful extra cover drive from Michael Vaughan.
10:35Right in the slot for him.
10:37Not quite a half-volley, but beautifully played.
10:43Pulled away by Vaughan, he's gone.
10:45He's pulled it straight into the hands of Deep Squareleg.
10:50So Mohamed Hafez takes the catch.
10:55Vaughan has picked out the fielder unerringly there.
11:01Oh, that's a glorious shot.
11:03Between the cover and mid-off.
11:06The hundred comes up for England.
11:09They're looking in control here.
11:12Tskotik doing the business again.
11:1444 not out to him.
11:19That's a better looking shot.
11:20That's a way through extra cover.
11:22Picked up the half-volley early.
11:26Razak and Azam Amoud conceding too many runs here.
11:32Tskotik on 49.
11:35And what a way to bring up your half-century.
11:37Successive 50s for Marcus Treskotik.
11:40Not quite as dramatic as the blast at the oval.
11:44But he's doing the job again for England.
11:46He's back in form.
11:47That has to be good for Marcus Treskotik.
11:49And it's certainly good for the home side.
11:55That's found the gap.
11:56Past mid-on.
11:58And running away down to the boundary.
12:00So it's a better start to things for James Troughton today.
12:06Fourth boundary for him now.
12:11That's not out the meat.
12:12It's gone pretty high.
12:14And into the hands.
12:17Choi.
12:23Absolutely no doubt about that one.
12:26And it's the end for Jim Troughton.
12:32In the air and gone straight to Muhammad Sami.
12:35That's a poor shot.
12:43He's dented a few England ambitions there.
12:46And it's done a lot to cheer up the Pakistan supporters.
12:49And the Pakistan players too.
12:55Oh, now then.
12:56Good bowling.
12:57Quicker ball.
12:58Good take from the keeper.
12:59They think there's a chance of a stumping here.
13:02McGrath looks nonplussed about everything.
13:05He wonders what all the fuss is about.
13:07This is what the fuss is about.
13:08He drags out Anthony McGrath.
13:10There's every chance that this is out.
13:12Jubilation in Pakistan's camp.
13:15Thumbs up, thumbs down.
13:18The decision's coming.
13:19He's out.
13:20McGrath has got to go.
13:21Nifty work from the Pakistan captain behind the stumps.
13:25Muhammad Hafeez has got his second wicket.
13:28England are in a bit of trouble now.
13:33Better way to play him.
13:34Nothing wrong with that.
13:35Don't bother sweeping when you can play extra cover drives like that.
13:38That's a super way to get off the mark.
13:40Get your first runs in one day international cricket
13:43and bring up the 150.
13:45Oh, scores caught them up.
13:48Run behind now, England.
13:51Oh, is there an edge on that?
13:52I think there is.
13:53Yeah, Clarke's gone.
13:54Great keeping again from Rashid Latif.
13:57Hafeez has taken his third wicket.
13:59Clarke has just got a little nudge on that,
14:02and that is really good keeping.
14:04What a good catch.
14:05England in trouble, 154 for six.
14:15That's a good shot.
14:16Swept away into the pavilion fence for four.
14:20Anyone's game.
14:24Well, he's helped it, and he's helped it all the way.
14:26That's going to go to the boundary.
14:28It's a very strange delivery.
14:29Wide down the leg side for sure.
14:31Did well to reach it.
14:32Four valuable runs.
14:34Now it's just Gothic News on to 83.
14:39This one's away.
14:41It'll go all the way, I'm sure of that.
14:43Quick outfield.
14:45Four more.
14:51Dropped.
14:52That is dropped, I'm sure.
14:56Rashid Latif, of all people,
14:58he has kept so well in this series.
15:00That should have been taken.
15:02That could very well be a match for England.
15:06I think it is a costly miss.
15:09Well, he's done much better than that,
15:11Rashid Latif, in his career.
15:12He knows that that was a sit-up.
15:16Straightforward take.
15:18That ball was travelling because it was quick.
15:25He's got an inside edge.
15:26Is it going fine enough?
15:27It is.
15:28It races away.
15:30Show back to him.
15:31Not having any luck.
15:33No pace on the ball, though.
15:35Look how it races away.
15:36It's nothing more than an inside edge.
15:42That's going to fly.
15:44That's going to go to the boundary.
15:46Marcus for Scott that gets 100,
15:48and what a magnificent 100 it's been.
15:50His third at Lord's, his fifth.
15:56And the international 100.
16:00Second at Lord's against Pakistan.
16:04In 2001 he got 137.
16:08But there is an omen for you in these.
16:11Every time he's got one at Lord's, this is his third.
16:13England have lost.
16:19Oh, what a great delivery.
16:21How unlucky is this?
16:24It's Baez.
16:25It has gone so late.
16:27It has deceived everybody.
16:29Bachelor and keeper.
16:32He can't have missed by much.
16:35It's not his day, is it?
16:41It's a good shot.
16:42What a great shot from Chris Reid.
16:44The first one that's slightly over-pitched.
16:46He's onto it in a flash.
16:48And through backward point at a rate of knots.
16:54Slow ball and smashed away.
16:56That is the end of the game.
16:58One blow over mid-wicket.
17:00Marcus Troscopic finishes it in styles.
17:03What a way to finish this game.
17:06It's been a terrific series.
17:08Two young sides rebuilding.
17:10England coming out on top.
17:12Marcus Troscopic.
17:14108, not out.
17:16And 145 balls.
17:18Nine fours and one six.
17:21Chris Reid supported him well.
17:2325 from 40 deliveries.
17:25Three fours.
17:26And the biggest partnership of the match.
17:3277 from 76 balls between these two.
17:35It's seen England home when they look to be in all kinds of trouble.
17:39And a big moment for Marcus Troscopic.
17:42It might well be his third hundred at Lord's.
17:45But it's the first time he's been on a winning side with it.
17:48Disappointment for the Pakistani dressing room.
17:50But they'll be back.
17:52He's got a good young side there.
17:54A lot of potential.
17:56Keep an eye on them.
