It seems it was a nail biting finish. An exciting match was long overdue in this tournament. I read somewhere Nixon reverse-sweeped for a sixer. I am happy for Bopara. What a test for a youngster. Sad that he couldn't get the winning runs. Pity I missed this match.

Except for a few minutes when the side collapsed from a strong position, England was always in charge of the situation. The young colt and the old fox played brillinatly according to the situation. I cannot blame Bopara for getting out off the last ball of the innings. He had to score 3 which was equal to 4. I think the game was lost when Sajid Mahmood scored just 2 runs out of 2 balls, given that Sajid is a decent bat for a tailender. Jane,
