Hussain blow for England

Nasser Hussain took just a little shine off England's sensational victory over Pakistan by admitting today that he could struggle to make Friday's second one-day international in Lahore.

Hussain played a full part in his team's five-wicket win by scoring 73, despite turning his ankle after completing a sharp single.

The captain battled on for another hour and then sat back to watch Graham Thorpe (64 not out) and Andrew Flintoff (84) complete a job which he and Graeme Hick had started with their third wicket partnership of 114.

Hussain admitted: "I will have some ice treatment, but I'm struggling a little bit."

England overhauled Pakistan's mighty total of 304 for nine with 16 balls to spare - their biggest ever successful run chase and the fourth highest in the history of limited-overs international cricket.

Meanwhile, Alec Stewart has escaped punishment from match referee Barry Jarman.

The opener was dangerously close to showing dissent after being given out, caught behind, but Jarman intimated that a quiet word would probably be enough.
