That's 167-6, just under a run a ball required and Pakistan running out of men. Unfortunately, England is also out of threatening bowlers at the end of this over.

Shoaib Malik tried to run it down to third man off Blackwell and the ball rolled down the face of the bat into Jones gloves.Surprise surprise Koertzen got it wrong.

Doesn't matter now as Shoaib is now out anyway.

Blackwell finishes with 3-29.He has had a decent series really.Would Giles have done any better?

Not sure, for me Blackwell is a more attacking option, it will be intresting to see if Blackie has done enough to get the nod for the ODI side in India, I would hope he would get in the side before Udal!!

It really does sound as if Blackwell has bowled well throughout this ODI series. He's been a bit unlucky with the batting - coming in at 7 when quick runs are required and the top order's failed isn't easy, and it sounds as if he was a bit unlucky with the Lbw decision against him today.

Here's a contentious question. Could Blackwell do a job for the test team? His bowling seems to have improved over the last couple of years and he's undoubtably a better batsman than Giles. Would anyone like to see him get a go in a test match, possibly in India?
