Here, from an ICC media release issued a few hours ago outlining the results of the ICC Executive Committee and ICC Board meetings, is the full text of the bit relating to Test #1814:
Oval npower Test match, England v Pakistan, 2006
The Board decided that the result of the above match should be altered. The change is from an England win as a result of Pakistan's refusal to play to the match being termed abandoned as a draw.
This means the series result is altered from 3-0 to England to 2-0. All players' performances in the match are unaffected.
The Board's decision was based on the view that in light of the unique set of circumstances, the original result of the match was felt to be inappropriate.
I look forward to further explanation but fear that I cannot hold my breath that long.
