maybe an understatement but Pakistan have pulled of what at first looked like an unlikely victory to square the series by 108 runs

The amazing turn around came when Trescothick went and the collapse started, Wasim did have a good game and deserved more than 2 wicket, Waqar and he in their fading days bowled their hearts out

There will be a lot of talk about umpiring but one needs to honestly analyse that its human to error and it balances out

Pakistan have squared the series and will go into the triangular on a high note

In this comms view this was one of the best games he has seen in a long while

The quality of cricket was fantastic, the winner is test cricket as much as Pakistan

We hope everone enjoyed this game as well as we did, please join us soon for the NatWest series right here
