No, Crunchy: just not possible to see cricket here in Prague - I am stuck with Cricinfo's commentary. The commentators there also reckon that the game is reasonably even, but after 30 overs with Pakistan well over half way there, I think it is slipping away from England now, even if my comment was perhaps premature earlier on.

Hitting the stumps
Something I have noticed is how often the Pakistani fielders either hit the stumps or got it into the Keepers gloves accurately enough to make the run out.

England have had several shies but have not even got close!!

the result is where we ended up losing a few wickets to run outs, they have sneaked singles and kept the score tickiing over.

Bob Woolmer has really turned this team around on the basics of the game IMO

They're fine, Captain. Take a look at the over-by-over graphs on Cricinfo here and you can see that they have been ahead of England all through the innings. Relax: it's Pakistan's for sure.

Up to now Pakistan have done everything correct and shown England what they should have done on Monday.Keep wickets in hand for the death and don't let the runrate rise too quickly.

Having said that we have just got rid of Yousuf so maybe this game has a twist left.Then again Afridi might finish it in 5 overs.

England would be well in the game but for that shocking umpiring decision.

What's the gripe, Greg? Whatever happened, I missed it (and I see nothing in the text commentary).
