London, September 2:

Superb bowling from Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif, and good batting helped Pakistan crush England by seven wickets in the second one-dayer here at Lord’s.

Shoaib (4-28) and Asif (2-10) shone in helpful conditions to shoot England out for 166 in a rain-hit 40-over game. Paul Collingwood hit 35, Rikki Clarke an ODI-best 39 and Chris Read made 30.

Jon Lewis (2-11) bowled well but Younis Khan hit 55, Mohammad Yousuf a patient 49 and Inzamam-ul-Haq blasted 42 to put Pakistan 1-0 up with 20 balls to spare.

Once Inzamam won a crucial toss, England knew they were in for a tough time.
