Sports Results (upcoming)

The decider that will be played between England and Pakistan tomorrow morning was won by England, who triumphed by 1 wicket after the final over bowled by Mustapha Bung went for 29 runs, mostly in no balls.

The match was overshadowed by the news that, just before the toss, Ladbrokes had dramatically cut the odds on Paul Collingwood hitting a six off Umar Gul on the 4th ball of the 7th over, clearing long leg and being caught in the crowd by a heavily bearded man in a blue shirt with his left hand, after a series of heavy bets.

A number of Sky Sports commentators were then caught on camera muttering into the cellphones and taking the 3-1 that had been freely available about such an eventuality, and it went to post at 6-4 on.

Pakistan, who won the toss, posted a relatively innocent looking 233-8 off their allocated overs, and when Strauss and Davies came out to bat, a good match appeared likely.

Quickie Mohammed Aamercheet opened the bowling, curiously electing to forgo his usual left arm pace for some innocuous right hand leg breaks, and a grateful Andrew Strauss duly posted 36 off the first over.

England then lost 6 wickets off the next over, before the surprisingly recalled Andrew Flintoff struck a rapid fire 100 off the next 5 overs, facing every ball bowled in the process.

Flintoff, who had publicly backed himself at 250-1 for a recall for this game, was seen handing over what appeared to be some photographs to Geoff Miller, chairman of selectors, just before the game.

On reaching his century, Flintoff then called for a quick single, raced to where he had hit the ball, and displaying the sort of agility reminiscent of his glory days, turned and threw down his own wicket to be run out for 100.

England need 28 off the final over, and as 17 of them came on no balls courtesy of Bung, the target was actually achieved with 9 balls to spare.

Andrew Flintoff was named Paddy Power Man of the Match for his heroics with the bat.

For those wishing to watch the game live it takes place tomorrow morning at 11.00am.
