Pakistan v England second Test: day four
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2039.jpg
WICKET! Pakistan 142-5 (Shafiq c Anderson b Panesar 43) Monty gets one to turn and Jimmy takes a brilliant catch at slip. Very sharp reactions there.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2040.jpg
WICKET! Pakistan 170-6 (Azhar 68 c Prior b Anderson) A huge wicket as Jimmy removes Azhar who had hung around since approximately 1862. The new ball worked well, the delivery roared up at Azhar who tried to prod it away but it caught the top of the bat and Prior clung on
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2041.jpg
WICKET! Pakistan 172-7 (Akmal 13 c Strauss b Broad) Wonderful fielding from KP. Akmal looks like he's got a four with a ball that flies to cover but KP smothers it to save the runs. Akmal looks like he's ready to let fly now: expect a swashbuckling 48, or a wicket in the next few overs .. oh hang on. Make that next delivery. He slashes at it and the ball flies to Strauss at slip. We're into Pakistan's tail now.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2042.jpg
WICKET!!!!! Pakistan 198-8 (Rehman lbw b Swann 10) Rehman was a long way down, so he referred it but review showed it would have clipped leg so the umpire's decision stands.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2043.jpg
WICKET!!!! Pakistan 208-9 (Ajmal c Anderson b Panesar 17) Monty has his five-for! Ajmal had started to look like he's be an awkward obstacle for England but Monty gets some extra bounce and turn, and Anderson takes an easy catch.

WICKET! England 21-1 (Cook 7 c &b Hafeez) "At that run rate it will take 414.2 overs to get 145 runs. I'm putting my mortgage on a draw," says Niall Mullen auditioning for the numbers round on Countdown. Hold on to your horses, Niall, Strauss just got a three, snicked behind three. Cook then goes to Hafeez. Early problems for England. Cook was getting impatient - unlike him - and the shot was rash. It took the leading edge and Hafeez's return catch was a good one
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2046.jpg
WICKET!!!!! England 26-2 (Bell 3 b Ajmal) Bell is bowled through his legs, the ball rolling agonisingly on to his stumps after he'd fended it down to, what he thought, was safety. The collapse is on!
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2047.jpg
WICKET!! England 33-3 (Pietersen lbw b Rehman 1) It's a straight one and it would have clipped the top of the stumps – he reviews but the call goes with the on-field umpire and England are in real trouble. On a positive note, the socre 33-3 does have a nice symmetry about it.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2048.jpg
WICKET!!!! England 37-4 (Morgan 0 b Rehman) Anyone have much confidence in Morgan here? Well ... He misses the ball and is clean bowled.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2049.jpg
WICKET! Strauss lbw Rehman 32 (England 56-5) One delivery after confident sweeping Rehman for a boundary, Strauss is pinned on the back foot; the ball spins out of the rough and raps the England skipper on the pads. It goes to review, but … WICKET
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2050.jpg
WICKET! Trott lbw Rehman 1 (England 68-6) Ah. A loose-ball from Rehman gives England four useful leg-byes, but he follows it straight up with a beauty, trapping Trott plumb lbw. It straightened up brilliantly and Trott was well, well beaten.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2051.jpg
WICKET! Broad b Rehman 0 (England 68-7) This is all over. Stuart Broad arrives at the crease and is immediately the subject of a big appeal. It's waved away, but he survives just a single delivery more: Rehman gets one to turn in from outside off-stump, clipping Broad's inside edge and flying on to the stumps. A really impressive five-for now for Rehman.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2052.jpg
WICKET! Swann lbw Ajmal 0 (England 71-8) There's no escaping it: as impressive as Rehman and Ajmal have been (7-46 off nearly 25 overs between them), this is a miserable collapse from England. Prior adds three, cutting one past the despairing dive of first slip. But that leaves Swann on strike, and Ajmal rips one in from outside off stump, trapping the batsman plumb. England still need 74 more.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2053.jpg
WICKET! Prior c Shafiq b Ajmal 18 (England 72-9) A composed knock from Prior concludes with an ugly, loose stroke: he drives Ajmal uppishly on the off-side, mistiming his stroke and Shafiq takes an easy catch.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2054.jpg
WICKET! Anderson c Gul b Rehman 1 (England 72) Filth. Anderson sweep-slogs off Rehman, but the ball skies high to deep square-leg, where Gul almost misjudges, before taking a composed diving catch in front of him. It's all over.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2055.jpg
Pakistan win the second Test by 72 runs and take an (unassailable) 2-0 series lead. England's lowest ever Test score against Pakistan, apparently, and Andy Flower's (world No1) team have only pride and some ranking points to play for in the final Test.

Florida crash: 10 killed in multi-vehicle pile-up
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2155.jpg
Ten people have been killed in a multi-vehicle crash on a highway in the American state of Florida.
The pile-up occurred before dawn on Interstate 75 near Gainesville. Reports say it involved at least 12 cars and six trucks.
The road was shrouded in a cloud of thick smoke caused by a bush fire.
At least 18 people were taken to hospital and wreckage was strewn for nearly a mile (1.6km) along the road.
One driver, Steven R Camps, told the Associated Press that he was travelling home early in the morning when he ran into a bank of thick fog and smoke.
"You could hear cars hitting each other. People were crying. People were screaming. It was crazy," he said.
"If I could give you an idea of what it looked like, I would say it looked like the end of the world."
Canada 'honour' killings: Shafia family found guilty
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/01/2156.jpg
Three members of an Afghan immigrant family in Canada have been convicted of murdering four female relatives in a so-called "honour" killing.
The bodies - three teenage girls and their father's first wife - were found in a car submerged in a canal in the city of Kingston, Ontario, in 2009.
The girls' father, brother and mother will serve at least 25 years in prison.
Prosecutors said the father was angered that his two eldest daughters wanted boyfriends, in defiance of his values.
The court heard how Mohammad Shafia had become increasingly angry and upset with his three teenage daughters for having secret relationships with boys and wearing revealing clothes.
