After being put into bat by the visitors, England see opener Marcus Trescothick fall to Shoaib Akhtar off the first ball Despite the early set-back, captain Andrew Strauss and Ian Bell build a 50 partnership to get the innings back on track Strauss reaches his half-century but goes no further, falling to former Middlesex team-mate Abdul Razzaq in the 15th over Kevin Pietersen comes to the crease but, by his standards, has another disappointing day scoring only 20 off 22 balls Bell continues to defy Pakistan's attack and moves to 42 before being caught by Mohammad Hafeez at backward point Paul Collingwood and Jamie Dalrymple add 101 before the latter falls to Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, leaving England on 226-5 He also claims Collingwood's scalp for 61 and a further wicket to finish with 4-57 as the hosts post a total of 271-9 In reply, Pakistan lose the early wicket of Shoaib Malik when he drives loosely to Collingwood at the end of the first over An expert piece of fielding by Strauss sees the other opener Hafeez run out five overs later to leave the visitors on 29-2 The celebrations dry up for England as Younis Khan, assisted by Mohammad Yousuf, completes his 26th ODI half-century The experienced pair complete their 100 partnership in the 26th over as England's bowlers toil under the lights A single off Sajid Mahmood sees Younis complete his second one-day ton as the runs continue to flow for the tourists With Pakistan firmly in control, the pair are removed and a late collapse ensues with Stuart Broad among the wickets Jon Lewis unseats Naved to give the home fans hope of a dramatic win - Pakistan need seven runs off the last 12 balls The victory does not materialise as Pakistan find the runs and win by two wickets, giving them a 2-0 series lead
