Cricket: England fast bowler
James Anderson celebrated his 28th birthday by taking five for
49 as Pakistan slumped to 147 for nine before bad light ended play on day two of the first test at Trent Bridge. The umpires led the players off the field at 1612 GMT
despite the ground's six floodlight towers shining down on the field. Pakistan trailed England's first innings total by 207 runs and needed eight more to avoid the follow-on. Umar Gul was 30 not out from 29 balls and last man Mohammad Asif is yet to score. Anderson used the cloud cover to swing the ball against the Pakistan batsmen, while 21-year-old paceman Steven Finn performed impressively with three for 20.
