While detail was well chronicled at the time of the alleged offence, such as late night conversations and messaging between Butt and Majeed before the Oval Test match (which preceded Lord's), some detail that ensued from Jafferjee was not so well known: such as text messages between Amir and an unknown in Pakistan. "How much and what needs to be done?" said one message, read out by the prosecution. "This is going to be too much," said another message. The Pakistani unknown said in one: "So in first three, bowl however you want, and in the last two, do eight runs?" These messages were translated from Urdu, and were thought to be a repetition of instructions he had received at some point. At another time, Jafferjee told the jury how, when police were raiding the players' rooms at the Marriot Hotel on August 28, Amir contacted a number on a phone given to him by Azhar Majeed - Mazhar's older brother and business partner - and asked not to be contacted again and to erase all messages
