Tour Match: ENGLAND B v PAKISTANIS
Played at Leicester 18th-20th August 1982.

A disappointing match, watched by few people and  badly  affected
by  rain,  ended  in  the  draw that had seemed certain after the
first day.  On an easy- paced  pitch,  Hampshire`s Emery   bowled
well  in  Pakistan`s first innings, albeit assisted by some care-
less shots.  England captain Marks declared one run  behind,  and
Mudassar`s  accomplished  century persuaded Majid to set a target
of 193 in two hours.  Aggressive batting by  Kent`s  Taylor  sug-
gested   that  England  were interested,  but  when he and Parker
departed in quick succession, the chase was abandoned.  Rain,  in
any case, brought about a premature close.
