Slight delay for a conversation in the middle
43.1 Shahid Afridi to Mullally, no run, to mid off
43.2 Shahid Afridi to Mullally, no run, pushed back
43.3 Shahid Afridi to Mullally, no run, on the pads, an appeal but
outside leg as the crowd floods in and match stops
A thousand fans have invaded Edgbaston
Players taken off, stumps have disappeared too, police trying their
best, looks a bit weird
Crowd lessens, we may yet get to see the end?
Play suspended due to a pitch invasion
Almost cleared now
Two stumps recovered, now where are the rest?
Lots of security, a helicopter up above, need stumps now
Two more 'fans' run on and chased away
We still have no decision as to what is to happen
Stumps were black so rather easy to hide
a shambles as they say in these parts
Match State: Crowd Delay
Waqar brought out by Police to appeal to crowd to behave, seems to
have succeeded
Normal coloured stumps brought out
Umpires out now, we should have play soon
As the Pak players come out they have difficulty, security was not
able to make a free column for the players
Playe to start finally
43.4 Shahid Afridi to Mullally, no run, pushed to mid off
Antother hold for crowd movement behind the bowler
Saeed Anwar goes to the crowd to help control
Its a farce, crowd being asked to sit and they wont, Mullally does
not want to play until they have

43.6 Shahid Afridi to Mullally, no run, edged to slip, does not carry
