Advantages: Looking good after an excellent first win

Disadvantages: Let's hope they can keep it up.

I have just seen England defeat Pakistan in a sensational match. Pakistan won the toss and sensibly decided to bat first. Temperatures in the stadium were almost fourty degrees celcius. Pakistan started off extremely well and ended up with a score which seemed totally unbeatable.....304/9 in 50 overs. That meant that if England were to win this match they would have to score more than 6 runs per over. England had the worst possible start and the two opening batsman were out for only 20 odd runs. Then Hussain and Hick played exceptionally well to get England up to a reasonable score. When those two were out in came Thorpe and Andrew Flintoff!!!!! The pair were on fire and blasted England to victory. It was a brilliant win and the highest second innings total by England in a one day international. Flintoff was the top scorer with 87 and won the man of the match award as well as a brand new car. England are looking good and the tour of Pakistan has started off with a bang.

Pakistan score: 304/9 after 50 overs
England: 306/5 after 47.4 overs
