    9.4 short and wide of off stump and Trescothick plays a horrible scythe from outside leg with feet rooted, aiming to slash the ball over cover, but only gets a thin edge to Akmal. Both openers have now fallen to poor shots 35/2

    3.2 Strauss aimed a rather ambitious flick over square leg but the shot was indecisive and the ball lobbed high to Afridi who barely had to move. It wasn't really short enough for the stroke he played 14/1

    40.5 direct hit from mid-on. Lightning fielding - a quick two-handed pickup from Afridi and he shies down the stumps, great piece of fielding. The batsman wasn't hurrying and in the end he was way out - no third umpire required here 166/5

    13.5 lovely bowling. Mohammad Asif bowls one just short of a length, Pietersen , who only got half forward, gets a thick outside edge and Akmal takes a routine catch to his right. A reward for some really classy and intelligent bowling and for the second time in three days England are wobbling 51/3

    24.4 drifting into Collingwood who comes forward, the ball turns enough and raps him on the pad and Afridi roars an appeal. That's about as plum as a rather large plum from a big plum tree in Plumshire 98/4

    40.6 top yorker, you don't get better, totally cleaned up. That one was fired in at 92mph, have some of that. England have now lost two wickets in two balls and they're in some trouble, with two new men at the crease. Great change from Inzamam and that's Shoaib's 200th wicket in one-dayers. 166/6

    44.1 short, wide but gets the wicket as a huge uppercut off the back foot flies to Shoaib Malik on the third man boundary. Extra pace from Shoaib there and he smiles as England sink further 173/8

    41.6 Read was walking off as soon as he played that shot. The batsman was looking to work it on the on-side, but instead he gets a leading edge and that's snapped up well by the bowler, taken low with a commando roll to finish 167/7

    44.5 Straight yorker. The batsman steps away yet again and Shoaib gets the reward for a tidy piece of bowling with one that crashes into the bottom of middle and leg stump 173/9
