And now Dalrymple. Prodded about with that behind square shot which we should ban our players from trying to play. Ended up edging one.

Joyce, Bell, Flintoff and Dalrymple managing a whole 8 runs between them.

Scared of an average batsman from an average team? The Saffas, Aussies and Kiwis will laugh at this. It's sad that our best player is actually a foreigner.

I don't think its over yet, England just need to bat out the full 50 overs, hopefully get to around 200 and its game on.

Slinwagh · 16 Mar 2007 at 17:09

I was tempted this morning to bet on England scoring less than 190. I didn't and maybe I should have!

The_One · 16 Mar 2007 at 17:13

Plunkett is doing excellant considering,

200 is really on the cards and then the bowlers have a good chance. Its far from over

...or maybe not

200 up for England, with an over to go yet.

The_One · 16 Mar 2007 at 17:24

Yup really good stand by nixon and plunkett

The_One · 16 Mar 2007 at 17:29

England finish on 209 - 7

Good recovery

e36Adz · 16 Mar 2007 at 17:33

210 to win, so by no means game over yet. I hope its an exciting a finish as yesterdays Ireland-Zimbabwe game

ringo747 · 16 Mar 2007 at 17:35

well done nixon, will need some tight bowling now and early wickets to get off to a good start.
