4th ODI: Rawalpindi - England Innings - discussion and scorecard

[MIG]

211 to win - and all to play for !

Englands last chance to square the series and set up fantastic finale in the 5th ODI - can they do it ?

Play starts in about 30 minutes...

[zaf1986]

We are in for a hell of a game!

The first 10 overs will be crucial.

[pakistani pride]

nah i feel confident our bowlers can defend this one ! ! !

[MIG]

I think the formula is simple - stifle the flow of runs and watch England make mistakes - this isnt like any of the other pitches.

[Raz]

The big fish are Tresco, Flintoff and Strauss i feel. We need at least 2 wickets as the bare minimum from the first 10 overs.

Defensive fields wont do we need to attack from ball 1.

[Monsee]

Check these two signs out, especially the one on the right:
