Lacklustre Eng. cricket win
NZPA-Reuter Lahore, Pakistan England scrambled to a two-wicket victory over Pakistan in the first of three one-day cricket internationals yesterday, thanks largely to 29 extras and a six in the final over from Phillip DeFreitas. It was not a match either side would want to
remember. Pakistan, without new captain Javed Miandad through illness, collapsed after a good start and was bowled out for 166 in 41.3 of its 45 overs. England, chasing this modest target, never got into its stride. It scraped home with three balls and two wickets to spare,
helped greatly by the fact that wicketkeeper Salim Yousuf was off with a thumb injury. Replacement Salim Malik gave away a string of vital byes in the penultimate over. Scores: Pakistan 166 off 41.3 overs. England 8 for 167 off 44.3 overs.
