A late partnership between Shoaib Malik and Razzaq then a few hits
has yielded a good 203 for pakistan on a much easier pitch than
before, they need to win this to get a place in the final with New
Zealand already there
The pitch looked better today and although the sun is out we did
not see the crumbling that took place yesterday but its still
rather spinner friendly
New Zealand have had injury problems and even Styris got hurt while
trying to catch and splitting his finger
The Pakistan pacers will have to do well to force a win but they
have included Kaneria in todays squad

Pakistan pacers picked up six wickets today and even on this better
pitch were able to defend 203, but Kaneria and Hafeez did well too
for some vital early wickets after NZ were off to a good start
even though they lost Fleming early
The final will be New Zealand v Pakistan with 13 and 12 points
respectively
Rashid Latif should be happy with this show though it was quite a
battle out there
We shall soon have presentations
A reminder folks, final is on the 23rd starting at 04:00GMT
Just to keep everyone upto date, there was a buzz around the ground
and amongst tv crews as the spotted some possible 'thumbnailing'
of the ball attributed to Shoaib Akhtar, we are not aware if its
been taken up officially
Presentations on and luckily there were some fours struck today,
all pocketed by Shoaib Malik, best batsman, most boundaries so he
picks up a mo'bike and a cheque as well as the Man of the Match
Thats all folks as we end up with Shoaib saying there was a plan
and I was to stay there till the end and todays wicket was not
turning so much, good night all
