Match State: Start Delayed - Rain
Good Morning all for live commentary of the 2nd and final test
between England and Pakistan being played at Old Trafford,
Manchester
This commentary is brought to you by ecb.co.uk and CricInfo.com
This test match will surely be a high stakes game. While England
will go all out to win five series in a row,
Pakistan desperately need a victory to stay in contention as a
viable cricket team.
A win for Pakistan is an absolute must not only for the team's
rejuvenation but to regain some fighting spirit for the NatWest
Triangular that follows.
At Lord's England batted well for a safe first innings total then
their fast bowlers did the rest to inflict a stinging innings
defeat on Pakistan
Pakistan performed miserably, well below their potential. But now
in the ten day gap have they been able to regroup to make a fight
of it here at Old Trafford - Let's wait and see.
The weather will be another major factor and my well be the decider
whether we will really get a decisive result one way or the other.
The forecast is not too good and showers, sometimes heavy are in
store today and tomorrow unless the Met Office has it wrong!
This morning its been drizzling and the covers are on, the start is
delayed and we will let you know as soon as we have further news
an interesting comment from Mudassar Nazar: I do feel it's strange
- we are playing only the 2nd Test but it will spell the end of
the series! Nevertheless, I do hope the Pakistan Team is better
mentally prepared for this game than the 1st at Lord's
While Rameez Raja said - In this there is a lesson for Pakistan who
are hugely talented but, with an exception or two, as a team, are
a set of under-achievers.
Well, weather permitting, we shall see what gives, Pakistan or
England!

Today was a seesaw battle but the pre tea session and the final
session saw Pakistan grab the intiative, closing the day off at
370 for 8
We saw lots of aatacking cricket, 51 fours and 2 sixes
England bowlers stuck to the task only tiring at the end
Fielding was not as sharp as at lords and a couple of catches were
put down
Pak will be satisfied with their performance built around Inzamam,
Younis Khan and Latif
The top order failed and they will need to think about Razzaq as an
opener

A good partnership by Thorpe and Vaughan has brough England well
back into this game after Pak got a couple of early wickets
Pak
After tea, assuming weather permits, will be a battle of swing and
defence
Rain has descended and covers on, we will not be starting for now
Match State: Rain stopped play
Covers on, umbrellas up, cricket down, wonder if this is Manchester
after all?
We will be back as soon as the weather permits
The Met office had forecast rain and it does look bad for remainder
of the day, if it does blow over, there could be an extra hour,
tomorrows forecast is far better
This comm wonders if the forecasters (so used to rain in England)
mean 'by better' that its more rain or less rain?
Well I hope I have not insulted them by that and it will be a good
day tomorrow, but now most pundits forecast a draw in this game
We have more and more covers being brought on, the textile mills
around Manchester must be busy
Rain has stopped but covers still on
Covers are being removed partially
The roll-on cover still there, play to start 5PM local, meaning in
about 20 mins
Light will be the factor to allow play or not, but looks hopeful,
the extra hour option may be invoked
Players coming on, while covers being rolled away
Play to start promptly at 5 local time
Umps out now
Now the batsmen

Covers being brought in quickly, may well blow away, we shall have
to wait and see
Very dark all around but one will need to wait
Things pretty bleak still, we shall know shortly
Play officially abandoned for the day
Lets hope weather is better tomorrow and we also hope you enjoyed
todays coverage by ecb.co.uk and www.cricinfo.com
Please send any comments to comms@cricinfo.com and see you here at
10:00GMT tomorrow, good night all
Match State: Stumps - Day 2
Good Morning for the third day's play from Old Trafford, brought to
you by ecb.co.uk and cricinfo.com
Weather is better today with some sun about but cold and chilly,
max temp expected to be 15C although the forecast for tomorrow is
not good.
England are in a strong position at 204 for 2 and Pakistan will
have their work cut out if they have any hope of swinging this
match their way
Both Thorpe and Vaughan look well set to make centuries. Vaughan
will be going all out to cement his place in the team at one down.
Lots of batting to come yet, in the form or Ward and Knight and
lets see how England do this morning.
Pakistan will be trying for an early breakthrough as the new ball
is still not due for about 18 overs so they will need to do it
with the present ball.
Pitch is fine, no change, still some grass but its dying so not
much change expected
Nice bright morning, chilly for the Pakistanis but sun it out too
Players out and we shall have some cricket

Today the higlight was the sudden collapse before tea after the
Thorpe-Vaughan partnership had broken almost every record around
Pakistan were quickly in action scoring well the fell to some poor
shots, Anwar and Razzaq and later Iqbal but some solid defence by
Inzamam and Youhana followed
Their batting was slow and this may put them under pressure going
for runs to make England face a larget total as thwere are 2 full
dyas left, weather permitting
Play has in fact been abandone for today

Match State: Stumps - Day 3
Good Morning all from ecb.co.uk and www.cricinfo.com for the 4th
day's play from Old Trafford of whats looking to become a fine and
exciting test match
Pretty evenly poised with Pakistan 133 ahead, 7 wickets in hand,
two days to go and England trying to restrict the lead to a
minimum as they will be batting last
Yesterday's drama was the sudden collapse England suffered after
Thorpe and Vaughan had taken them to 282 for 2, some sharp
(unusual) Pak fielding coupled with Razzaq's bowling did the
damage
Waqar and Wasim did bowl well for their country and helped restrict
the scoring rate and ably supported by Razzaq
Inzamam and Youhana have a job on their hand, have to play long
innings and keep scoring to set a large target and yet have time
to try bowl out England on this placid wicket
The England bowlers wont want to allow that and we expect some
fiery stuff after the overnight rest, all set for a fine day, sun
with clouds here but its still windy
Looks like a start on time, sit back and enjoy
Wicket looks good, the experts say it may be very difficult to get
a result, heavy roller used
32.6 Gough to Inzamam-ul-Haq, no run, drops it down in front of him to

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

much as Pakistan
