Pakistan level one day series against England

9:49 am on 21 September 2010

Pakistan have come from two nil down to take their five-match one day cricket series against England to a decider.

After tensions peaked this morning on the controversial tour, Pakistan set England a target of 266 at Lord's, and dismissed the home side for 227 to win by 38 runs.

Prior to the match, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced their intention to sue Pakistan's Board Chairman Ijaz Butt for alleging England's players accepted a bribe to lose last weekend's third match at the Oval.

But the Board decided the last two games of the tour would go ahead despite the England team's reluctance to complete the series after an altercation in the nets between Jonathon Trott and Wahab Riaz before this morning's game.

The deciding match of the one day series is in Southampton tomorrow night.
