Tour Match: Wasim to the rescue

PAKISTAN overcame a shaky start to their  one-day  match  against
MCC at Shenley Park yesterday to win on a superior run rate.

An excellent opening spell by Yorkshire`s Chris Silverwood helped
to  reduce  the Pakistanis to  48  for  four before captain Wasim
Akram (74) and Moin Khan (46) supervised a recovery  to  230  for
seven  with  a  sixth-wicket stand of 112.

The MCC`s target was adjusted to 148  off  32  overs  because  of
rain, but they fell 85 runs short.
