INZAMAM SET TO NO FATE ON THURSDAY
Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq is set to learn his fate on Thursday after day one of his disciplinary hearing took place at The Oval in South London.
All the evidence has been heard and closing submissions will be made when the case resumes on Thursday morning.
Chief ICC referee Ranjan Madugalle, who is chairing the two-day hearing, is then expected to announce his verdict.
Inzamam faces ball-tampering and disrepute charges after last month's forfeited Test against England.
He refused to lead his side out on to the field after being penalised for ball-tampering on day four of the fourth Test, also at The Oval.
If found guilty of ball-tampering, Inzamam faces a fine of between 50 and 100% of his match fee. He could also be banned for one Test or two one-day internationals.
On the second charge, deemed more serious by the ICC, a ban of between two and four Tests or four to eight ODIs is possible.
Umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove were the officials out in the middle, with Peter Hartley and Trevor Jesty providing off the field back-up.
Match referee Mike Procter and ICC umpires and referees manager Doug Cowie, who was at the match on the day in question, have also provided testimony.
Madugalle will also consider written statements from the England players involved - Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood and Ian Bell.
Wednesday's session at The Oval heard evidence from 11 different witnesses including both on-field umpires, fourth umpire Jesty and Mike Procter before lunch.
Cowie, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan, Inzamam, Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer and three expert witnesses called by the defence - Geoffrey Boycott, Simon Hughes and John Hampshire - all gave evidence in the afternoon before the hearing ended around 1700 BST.
