ICC change Test result
10:44pm Thursday 3rd July 2008
The result of the controversial fourth Test between England and Pakistan at The Oval in 2006 has been changed to a draw.
England were originally declared the winners after the tourists were deemed to have forfeited the match by umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove. Pakistan had refused to return to the field after being accused of ball-tampering by Hair.
Now, following a campaign by Pakistan, the International Cricket Council have decided to amend the result, meaning England's series win will now be recorded as 2-0 rather than 3-0.
It is one of a number of decisions to have been made by the ICC at their chief executive committee meeting in Dubai.
