Shoaib Akhtar, the world's fastest bowler, ripped apart Scotland's top order to help Pakistan to a 94-run win at Chester-le-Street yesterday. He grabbed three wickets for six runs as Pakistan bowled out the Scots for 167 after helping themselves to 261 for six.

Akhtar clean bowled Michael Smith with a superb inswinger that smashed the off-bail into two pieces. He trapped Iain Philip leg-before with a yorker and had George Salmond caught behind.
