Re: Cricket
The 1st 10 overs will setthe scene for the response... If we can pick up 2 - 3 wickets before England get to 100 its going to be close.

It looks that way denphone,but England very often have the knack of getting the collywobbles chasing relatively small scores under lights,Englands batsmen need to start to perfom as a team as it is at the moment Cooks 100s are putting England ahead with Bopara in good support,if Cook fails with the bat another batsman will need to take up the challenge.
But all things being equal England should edge this one.

Well at least you picked up one wicket Saaf and the game finished quite early with enough time for you to go to the bar with at least 10 overs left at the end of the match.

England pace bowler Steven Finn claims his game has improved since he was dropped during the Ashes - as he presses his case for a Test recall.
The 22-year-old has impressed with 11 wickets in three one-day internationals against Pakistan.
"It's nice to see some progress and to have come a long way since I was left out during the Ashes," he said.
"There is a lot of hard work that needs to come to get that [Test] spot. Hopefully I have shown what I can do."
