Corrections and Clarifications

The third paragraph of an AP cricket report "Akmal stars for Pakistan" ("Sport", November 14, 2008) was "Needing 16 runs in the final over, Akmal hit two sixes off the first two deliveries from fast bowler Jerome Taylor to script a stunning win." Pakistan needed 17 runs in the final over. Akmal hit two sixes off the second and third deliveries, and not off the first two deliveries.
