Bad weather scuppers Pakistan tour match

UXBRIDGE, England, Aug 24 (Reuters) Pakistan's scheduled one-day tour match with Middlesex today was abandoned because of bad weather.

The match had been in doubt earlier in the week because of a ball-tampering controversy during the fourth and final test against England, which was eventually forfeited by Pakistan.

But the touring party, who take on England in five one-day internationals starting next Wednesday, turned up to play against the county side only to be thwarted by rain and thick grey clouds.
