nudged to leg
England vs Pakistan, 6th Match, Group B at London, Jun 07 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary
And there's the win for England! A surprisingly easy one, too; a surprisingly feeble effort from Pakistan. Terrific innings by Pietersen who really powered England's 185, and Adil Rashid bowled with impressive composure. And this puts England through to the Super 8s, confirmed by Travis Basevi.

Delay here. Not sure why. Ah...someone's got a runner

Broad on a hat-trick...he got two-in-two in his last over
gorgeous drive - he goes inside out and times it quite beautifully. All too late now
a shorter and slower ball, he tries to pull it around the corner but can't time it
Netherlands versus Pakistan. Now that match is suddenly all rather crucial. You'd have to fancy Netherlands on current form...!
nudged out to the off side for a suicidal single ... but somehow they get home!
powerfully drives this fuller delivery out to long-off
a slower ball which comprehensively beats the batsman, who is fortunate that his drive lands safe behind the bowler's head
tries to repeat the shot from the previous over but holes out to mid-on. Easy catch
Here's Anderson
Hundreds of emails coming in. Yes, we know we had Rashid bowling five overs - a glitch in the system as our scorers hadn't realised Swann was into the attack. All sorted now, so please try and calm yourselves
fast yorker with which to finish an entertaining over
Bopara's dropped a dolly at point! He's blaming the lights, but really...
