The Prudential Cup Australia v Pakistan, from Trent Bridge
England v Associates B from Old Trafford
FRANK BOUGH introduces two of today's matches from Trent Bridge, where Australia and Pakistan meet in a crucial Group B match that could provide fireworks if the memory of the bad-tempered incidents of their recent Test Match in Perth have not been forgotten. At Old Trafford, England meet one of the less-fashionable cricket nations who came through from the qualifying competition.
