Pakistan vs England Jul-Aug-Sep 2010

Strauss is finally out. I guess he won't be third time lucky in this match.

Afridi is making good use of Shoaib Akhtar. Bell had come in and he immediately brought back Shoaib Akhtar. He got Strauss though, but he got a wicket.
 
Not entirely like Strauss to muff a cut shot. :spy

also, we need a version of :spy who gives coats
 
After 30 overs England need only 121 runs. They should reach this target, especially since they have Bell in form and Morgan has yet to come.
 
Bell looks in supreme form here. Hasn't really been troubled whereas Colly doesn't know which way to hold the bat
 
Looks like England are steadily playing themselves into a hole again. We should win this, but it could go either way.
 
A dropped catch earlier by Afridi, but I feel Bell was the guy, who is really in form. And he is gone now. If Morgan goes now, Pakistan really has a chance.

The runrate is meanwhile creeping up.
 
Because of one slightly airy drive that he got out to? I still think he's in good form.

I think Collingwood's position needs to be questioned. His all-round status can't really be used any more. 56 overs in 11 innings? His batting is suspect, I know, you question him and he will score runs. His summer has been woeful. I don't see him playing beyond the World Cup, we need to build for the future. Maybe I'm being harsh on him, but Morgan has assumed his role in the side as the finisher, and he's better at it. Those last 2 overs could be the difference.
