Sales spark riots

Ticket sales will resume today for India’s first full cricket tour to Pakistan in 14 years after riots erupted as thousands of fans tried to snap up seats.

The Pakistan Cricket Board suspended sales after trouble flared up outside the National Stadium – with more outlets set to open today to try and cope with the demand.

At one stage police in Karachi waded into the crowds with batons after stones were thrown by the thousands trying to buy tickets.
