It is 55/3. If this and the win of Pakistan A over Pakistan shows anything, it is the priceless value of practicing in the conditions and getting match fit for a contest with prior games.

Yeah, the England side could really have done with more preperation time. The first Pakistan game is on Friday, we're so screwed. Rashid's giving a good account of himself though, which is good, I'd much rather see him in the side in place of Tredwell. Think he got harshly treated after getting spanked about by Smith and Bosman. 5.54 runs an over is just not good enough in a T20 game. Just hoping that Kieswetter gets a few runs in the chase now.
4 down. Pietersen gone, 2nd wicket for Rashid.
This is getting embarrassing, 5 down now. Morgan gone lbw to Rashid, taking his figures to 3/13. England 68/5 from 11.5 overs.

As I said, it is little to do with the quality of the teams and more about the value of preparation. This is a little pointless tour, but for big important tours, tour matches and time to get accustomed to the conditions is invaluable as it can signal the difference between a poor team and a good team.

Who gives a **** though? Series has practically no importance or worth.
Incidentally, I do think England will beat Pakistan.

Great to see Luke Wright doing well again, hope it continues.

Good effort from Luke Wright to get the Lions upto a decent score. Kieswetter and Lumb are doing it easy atm though. Kieswetter's done excellently, he was striking at 50 last time I checked the scorecard, and he's now striking at over 100. Michael Lumb looks a good player too, was impressed whenever I saw him last season.
This is weird, first Kieswetter retired hurt and is now back out there scoring runs, and now Lumb's retired hurt too. Guessing it was a mistake on the scorecard and they retired out instead of hurt.

Hopefully Denly'll get a first baller and be dropped for the 2nd game. He should be able to get away with playing everything aerial today though, it's not like there's any risk of being caught =P
KP sounds like he's up for this series and the cricket coming up. Just needs to bin that face fungus and he'll be sorted.

39/4 now, Akmal gone. Brilliant catch from Broad, we've been excellent in the field so far.
