Captain Hussain warns against complacency

England enter the second One-dayer here on the morrow with a 1-0 lead in the three-match series by virtue of their gritty five-wicket win in Karachi on Tuesday.

“We may be winning but it’s a gradual process and we must not take Pakistan easily,” Hussain said.

England supporters have reason to expect miracles from the team after they overcame sizzling conditions and the home advantage in Karachi to easily reach Pakistan’s daunting target of 305, helped by a swashbuckling 84 from Andrew Flintoff.

The visitors have won six of their last eight limited-overs games with a tripartite tournament victory back home against the West Indies and Zimbabwe in July.

“It was just one game against Pakistan and there are still two to be played,” Hussain said.

England kept pressure on Pakistan’s bowling with Hussain, Graham Thorpe and Graeme Hick hitting half centuries besides Flintoff’s career-best innings.

Hussain said he was “feeling alright” after twisting his ankle but would have to pass a fitness test before taking to the field.
