No Afridi after he was suspended for biting the ball apparently....

(What a cock)

[Cooky]

C'mon pakistan...let's do the infidels!

You never know which pakistan will turn up -

The match fixing lot, the infighting lot, the can't be arsed lot or the absolute geniuses which they can so often be.

Hope it's the latter - should be a good game.

9/1 after 3.4.

Good start England.

26/3 off 6.2, get in Luke Wright! Good performance so far.

[twinturboz]

what a catch

[hornetrider]

Yeah, awesome from Broady! 38/4!

[ammw]

Would have liked to have seen Kieswetter in the side - sounds like he's bang in form and would probably be better opening then Trott, who always looks more like a solid ODI/test batsman than a T20 style hitter. Let's hope KP finds some form!

[hornetrider]

Well that is an excellent performance in the field from England. Bowling kept tight, great r/o from KP and Broad is the catching king. We should be able to knock these off at 6.5 very easily indeed.

18-3 from 4.2. Not the best start...

This is why Sky are not knocking on my door for my punditry skills

You never know - they employed Charles Colville!

You used italics correctly but appear to have forgotten that it was England you were referring to!

[5pen]

Top knock by Morgan. Finished the match in style 4-4-6!

[Busamav]

good match to watch ,

must have been killing KP to keep pushing singles , but well done to both players.

Morgan was so so lucky to get away with that run out bless him , although I think KP was watching what was going on and should , imho have gone back .

[Cooky]

The Infidels were lucky, Broad trips over and accidentally bags a dolly, Pietersen (the has been) blocks his way and bores the superior bowlers to sleep, and some young immigrant upstart chances his luck and you steal a narrow victory...just you wait until Afridi returns tomorrow...just you wait I tell you!

Humppppptf!

Looks like Afridi is back for today, will he be the difference? I'd like to see us back up yesterday's performance with another win.

[hornetrider]

No-one watching? Set up for a big total here if KP stays in, 82/1 off 12 now.

[Mikey G]

KP is batting well, not sure what the hell Afridi was doing earlier when he threw when KP was still looking at the floor
