England eases to win after Finn takes 5
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 01 - 06 - 2010

wicket victory over Bangladesh on the final day of the first Test Monday after Steven Finn captured five wickets in an innings in his first Test at Lord's.
Finn, 21, who made his debut on the two-Test tour of Bangladesh in March, finished with five for 87 from 24 overs of accurate, probing pace bowling from the Pavilion End. He took four for 100 in the first innings.
Set 160 to win in two full sessions, England reached its target in the last over before tea.
Captain Andrew Strauss began at breakneck speed with four boundaries off the first two overs and reached his half-century from as many balls. After making 83 in the first innings on his return to the England side he was out for 82 from 88 balls, edging a catch behind off his opposite number Shakib Al Hasan.
Bangladesh lost its remaining five wickets in the morning for only 54 runs, a disappointing performance following its exuberant batting Sunday which looked likely to salvage a draw after it had lost each of its previous six Tests against England. Finn struck three times in 15 balls after play resumed on a chilly, overcast morning with Bangladesh on 328 for five, removing Shakhib (16), Junaid Siddique (74) and Mushfiqur Rahim (0) in consecutive overs,
Shakhib guided a simple catch to Eoin Morgan at cover point and Siddique's patient innings ended after more than four hours when he was deceived by a slower delivery and lobbed the ball to Tim Bresnan at mid-off. Mushfiqur edged an excellent ball moving away off the pitch to wicketkeeper Matt Prior.
Bresnan took his first wicket when Rubel Hossain (4) edged a low catch to Strauss at first slip and he ended the innings when Mahmudullah was caught behind by Prior for 19.
Pakistan to host SA in ME
Pakistan will play two Tests, five One-Day Internationals and a Twenty20 match against South Africa in the United Arab Emirates in October and November this year, officials announced Monday.
South Africa had been scheduled to visit Pakistan in October but it refused to play in the country because of security concerns and the matches will now take place in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
No foreign teams have toured Pakistan since six policemen and a driver were killed when militants attacked the Sri Lankan cricket squad's bus in Lahore in March 2009. Six players were wounded in the incident.
“This series will provide great entertainment for cricket fans as PCB and Cricket South Africa have worked hard to bring this event about and we are very excited to be returning to the world class facilities in the UAE,” Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt told reporters.
Cricket SA chief Gerald Majola added: “The Proteas always enjoy playing Pakistan... we are especially delighted that the fans will get to see top flight cricket between these two teams.”
The tour will take place from Oct. 27 to Nov. 24.
