and that's followed by the mother of all pitch invasions, people sprinting on from everywhere, with 2 big mobs gathering around the stumps trying to collect a momento of a great match

So a fantastic win for Pakistan in a tremendously entertaining match. I'll let you make up your own banalities for the presentations. I have to mop myself off the floor.

tomorrow's matches, whatever they are, will begin up 945 GMT. Goodnight from CI.
