Maqsood played a quick cameo and Afridi, gave the finishing touches to the game as Misbah watched all the hitting from the other end. England did bowl well at the start but fell towards the end. They though will be confident going ahead and look to learn quickly. Pakistan, winning both their games will go into the game against India, with confidence. Things are starting to click for them and we all know how dangerous they can be.
Fantastic chase from Pakistan, given they don't quite have a good record chasing 250-plus scores. Not that this counts but it is a good morale booster. At the start of the chase, Broad and Anderson did reduce Pakistan to 4/78 and things did not look quite easy. Captain Misbah though along with Umar Akmal brought Pakistan back in the game with a superb 133-run stand. Both of them mixed caution with aggression and got the game going for them. Captain Misbah carried on and stayed unbeaten on 91 as Akmal missed out on his ton, getting out on 65.
