	Match Scorecard
Man of the Match: A Razzaq	Lord's, London (20 Sep,2010)

Having thoroughly outclassed England in the 3rd ODI, Pakistan were slight favourites for this one. Once again Pakistan got off to a slow but steady start and reached 62/1 in 14 overs with COW of 50%. Wickets fell at regular interval but Hafeez compiled a sedate half century. But no one could convert their starts in to useful contribution till Abdul Razzak plundered the attack in last 4 overs as Pakistan ended at 265/7 with a COW of 45%. England got off to a similar start and in fact their openers took them to 113 in 20 overs with COW of 43% as their run rate struggled. But there after wickets fell at regular intervals as English players struggled to keep the RRR in check and another inspired spell of bowling by Umar Gul proved to be the proverbial last straw and England collapsed to 227 all out to tie the series at 2-2.
