Cricket fans cause border chaos
Fans at Wagah on Sunday
Fans stormed the gates at the border crossing
Indian riot police were called to restore order after about 3,000 cricket fans caused chaos at the Wagah border crossing between India and Pakistan.

Several fans were hurt, one seriously, in the crush as people flocked to Monday's one-day match in Lahore.

Fans stormed the immigration building, causing staff to flee. Riot police took three hours to restore order.

Officials were unable to cope with demand but later opened extra counters allowing all fans to cross the border.
