A great win for England, smashing the vaunted Pak pace attack all
ove the Oval, leader was Trescothick and then Solanki and Flintoff
came in to carry on the dismantling
Rashid Latif decided to go all out and attack as there was really

no option with a low total to defend, his side was at least 100
runs short
The crowd was entertained but the game was short perhaps but a

thrilling ODI spectacle.
Trescothick smashed 16 fours and 2 sixes in his 86 in only 57
minutes
Probably no need to guess the man of the Match but we will bring
that as soon as known but a reminder the series is equal the the
winners will be decided at Lord's on Sunday.
Please not that's a day game and starts at09:45GMT on Sunday
The Man of the match choice was Anderson or trescothick and the
vote goes for the latter.
Goodbye all and please join us for the decider on Sunday at
09:45GMT
