Pakistan 250 all out Kamran Akmal 53, Umer Akmal 43 England 274 for 6 (41 overs) Davies 87, Trott 69, Ajmal 4-49 Chasing target of 275 runs, Pakistan fell short 24 runs and bowled out at 250 runs. All batsmen played well but failed to get much-needed victory in the first ODI against England in Chester-le-Street. Kamran Akmal remained the highest scoring batsman with 53. His younger brother Umer Akmal scored 43 runs. Shahid Afridi and Fawwad Alam and Muhammad Hafeez made 19, 39 and 30 runs respectively. Earlier, England players presented aggressive game and made 274 runs in only 41 overs. Captain Strauss, Steve Davies and Jonathan Trott scored 41, 87 and 69 runs respectively. Saeed Ajmal did his best with four wickets Pakistan struggled to regain control. Mohammad Irfan's much-anticipated introduction into international cricket didn't quite go to plan. Umar Gul also didn't do any better. While Shoaib produced a superb and unrewarded opening five-over burst.
