Mark Ealham on tour with England
England v Pakistan, Mon 12 April: 

Kent's Mark Ealham starred with bat and ball for England in Sharjah 
today - taking 4 for 30 from his 10 overs as England won for the 
first time in the tournament. Although the victory comes too late to get
them a place in the final (now to be contested between India and
Pakistan), the 62 run win will give the team some much needed confidence
ahead of the 1999 World Cup. 

England won the toss for the first time in this competition, and 
scored 206 all out (Graeme Thorpe making 62). In reply, Pakistan 
were unable to build any substantial partnerships, Fraser taking 3 
wickets in addition to Ealham's four. The only real resistance came 
from Saleem Malik who was left stranded on 47 not out.
