Few people truly expected it to happen. But such has been the gulf between the two sides that four weeks later, Australia wrapped up a whitewash within 59 minutes on the last day at Adelaide Oval, the only Test in the series that India managed to take to a fifth day. Australia's 298-run victory was finalised when ...
Azhar and Shafiq fight but England hold edge
Pakistan 257 and 125 for 4 (Azhar 46*, Shafiq 35*) lead England 327 (Cook 94, Trott 74, Broad 58*, Ajmal 4-108) by 55 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball details For the first time in their notional home series, Pakistan had a crowd to strengthen their resolve. They came in their thousands after Friday prayers and sat on the grassy banks at the Sheikh Zayed stadium.

Ajmal leads Pakistan’s late rally
England 207 for 5 (Cook 94, Trott 74, Ajmal 3-67) trail Pakistan 257 (Misbah 84, Shafiq 58, Broad 4-47) by 50 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball details Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott, like few other Test batsmen, are masters of passive aggression. On the surface they might appear perfectly polite but beneath their calm exterior there is all manner of mental disintegration going on. Pakistan were so worn down by their impassive resistance that for a while they came close to madness. The moment they banished them from their presence, joy abounded once more. Pakistan made life hard for themselves. They frittered away both ...
