A little precis of events...
Darrell Hair changed the ball and docked Pakistan 5 runs which was obviously construed as an accusation that the Pakistan team were ball tampering.
After much on field dispute it was agreed that the match would benefit from an early tea break.
After tea the umpire's returned along with the England batsmen but the Pakistan team remained in their changing room.
The umpires asked the English Batsmen if they were ready to resume play - The English Batsmen confirmed that they were.
As there was no opposition on the field of play Darrell Hair stated that the Pakistan team had forfeited the game and consequently declared stumps.
The Pakistan team returned to the field of play 35 minutes(ish) after tea but returned to the changing room after the umpires nor the England team joined them.
The Chairman of the PCB stated after the event that the Pakistan team were planning to register their protest purely for a 5 or 10 minute period after tea and were planning to return to the field of play.
Those that have tickets for today will be refunded (cheers!) and those that were present yeterday will receive a 40% refund I believe.
Very poor and badly handled all round.

more news on the matter
| Quote: | ICC charges Inzamam
DUBAI (Reuters) - The International Cricket Council (ICC) charged Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul Haq on Monday with bringing the game into disrepute after his team forfeited the fourth test against England at the Oval.
"There are two charges brought forward by the umpires, one for changing the condition of the ball and the other for bringing the game into disrepute," Dubai-based ICC spokesman Jon Long said.
Both charges were brought against Inzamam for his role as captain of Pakistan following the incidents which rocked the fourth day's play of the final test on Sunday. The hearing will take place on Friday.
"The charge that was laid yesterday was a level two charge under the ICC code of conduct, of changing the condition of the ball," ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed said.
"The charge that was laid today by all four umpires was for bringing the game of cricket into disrepute -- this is a charge under level three of the code of conduct and is more serious than the other one.
Pakistan refused to take the field following tea on Sunday after they were docked five runs for ball-tampering by the umpires. They again remained in the changing room when the umpires went out a second time 15 minutes later.
The team belatedly took to the field but the umpires ruled that the match was already abandoned and after a lengthy meeting it was awarded to England.
If Inzamam is found guilty on the ball-tampering issue he would face a fine of up to his entire match fee and/or a ban of one test or two one-dayers, whichever is played earlier.
The charge for bringing the game into disrepute was brought by the umpires following a meeting held on Monday, an ICC release said.
The penalty, if found guilty, would be a ban between two to four tests or four to eight one-dayers.
The penalties would apply with immediate effect. An appeal would have to be made within 24 hours of the notification and the player would be allowed to continue playing pending its outcome.
ICC's chief referee Ranjan Madugalle would conduct the hearing in London as Mike Procter, the match referee for the Oval test, was likely to be asked to give evidence at the hearing, the release said.

very poorly handled but then when it comes to ball tampering its nothing new and when it comes to this umpire, thats nothing new either.
