Inzamam wary of an England comeback

Lahore: Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq said his confident team would be wary of an England comeback in the five-match ODI series starting here on Saturday.

``Our win in the Tests has given us confidence, but I still think England is a very dangerous team and can stage a comeback in the one-dayers,'' said Inzamam.

Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer said both teams stand an equal chance in the one-day series. ``We haven't played one-day cricket for three and a half months. It's funny in sport, if you leave something and then come back to it, you have to relearn it a bit,'' Woolmer said.

England needs to lift itself from both the Test series defeat and from captain Michael Vaughan's absence with a knee injury.

The tourists' build-up to the series has not been auspicious, losing a warm-up game against Pakistan `A' by one wicket on Wednesday.

Marcus Trescothick, who will lead the side in Vaughan's absence, says England can beat Pakistan if it plays well. — Agencies
