Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi wins the toss for the second successive one-day international on a clear morning at Headingley, but in contrast to Friday's first ODI, he elects to bat as both sides name unchanged teams
Kamran Akmal and Mohammad Hafeez open the batting for Pakistan, and survive a couple of early lbw appeals from England's James Anderson
Kamran is the more aggressive of the opening pair - but they carefully compile Pakistan's highest one-day opening stand against England, beating Majid Khan and Sadiq Mohammad's 113 from 1974
Kamran reaches his fifty from 50 balls - England eventually turn to Paul Collingwood's medium pace in an attempt to break the stand, and he traps Kamran lbw for 76 to leave Pakistan 122-1 in the 23rd over
Three overs later, Hafeez falls for 43 when he is bowled by Graeme Swann, but the two openers have set Pakistan a platform for a big score - and England are worryingly sloppy in the field
Veteran Mohammad Yousuf, who eschews a helmet while Collingwood and the spinners are on, unleashes a variety of shots - including a six over mid-wicket - but tamely fends a catch behind when he has made 46
Asad Shafiq, playing his third ODI, reaches his first half century for Pakistan - but immediately after the batting powerplay is signalled, Shafiq holes out on the first ball of the 45th over
Having removed Shafiq, Stuart Broad is smashed for three successive boundaries by Umar Akmal, before having the youngster caught behind for 28; Pakistan are 258-5 with five overs and one ball remaining
Afridi lives up to his "Boom Boom" nickname by hoisting Broad for a huge straight six with a baseball-style blast, but holes out in the next over and Pakistan lose two more wickets in the chase for runs as they finish on 294-8
Pakistan's fans cheer their team on at Headingley, hoping for the victory which would level the five-match one-day series at 1-1
Steven Davies hits five fours in a rapid 26 from 21 balls at the top of the order, but is caught behind to leave England 43-1 in the seventh over
Skipper Andrew Strauss has a let-off when a fierce delivery from Umar Gul brushes his glove and is caught by keeper Kamran Akmal - but umpire Billy Doctrove says "not out"
Reprieved, Strauss - in partnership with the obdurate Jonathan Trott - guides England past 100, bringing up his 23rd one-day international fifty from 65 balls
Pakistan's one-day captain Afridi, demonstrative as ever in his field placings, tries to rotate his bowlers in a bid to break the Strauss-Trott stand - calling on part-timer Mohammad Hafeez as his third spin option
Strauss and Trott put on 146 - England's highest second-wicket ODI stand against Pakistan, and the third highest for any wicket - before Trott is run out for 53 with England 189-2 in the 33rd over
Strauss reaches his fifth one-day international century from 106 balls - and looks on course to see England through to a comfortable victory
But England suffer a late-innings wobble as Paul Collingwood holes out for 19, Strauss is trapped lbw for 126 and Eoin Morgan follows in the next over - England still need 35 from 26 balls
Ravi Bopara also falls, but some clean hitting by Tim Bresnan and Michael Yardy sees England home with three balls to spare, and they take a 2-0 lead in the series
