317-4 after 48 overs. Much better batting performance than in the tests.
New Zealand just made 332 to beat the Aussies by 2 wickets as well - 9th wicket partnership of 70 in 7 overs.

Johnos thoughts on that:
Trescothick was dissapointing and fell to the slower ball, but didn;t make any difference in the end!
Prior looked good and a decent start, should keep his place! definitely. mex will be happy.
Strauss performed badly in the tests but did a great innings in this one, included few boundaries but ran the singles with whoever his partner was and scored 94 off 98!
Pietersen performed very well and scored at a high strike rate! 55 off 38 i think in the end! hit danish kaneria for 2 consectutive sixes which was nice!
Flintoff had a different role it seemed today. hit many singles but when needed opened up and just smacked it for six, nicely done.
Collingwood did well as the anchor role and came out of that at times nd as a good person to finish with. i was hoping blackers would come in when he did to make more impact but colly did fine so all is well!
overall probably one of the most convincing one day innings england has had for a while! now harminson and co need to bowl well, and the field need to be on there toes, more than pakistan were!
that session was 3 and a half hours long....never watched like that before when watching cricket on sky!

oh yeh and england hit 327 for 4 and the scores were: Trescothick 13 (21) Prior 45 (55) Strauss 94 (98) Pietersen 56 (39) Flintoff 72 (65) Collingwood 34 (27) nearly forgot the most important bit! and zurich, just looked at the scorecard for that game, quality finish. brendon mccullum hit 4 sixes and 2 fours with vettori to win it. the aussies lost!  |

Glad to hear the boys have remembered to hit the little round red thing with the long wooden thing again.

Pakistan currently 52-1 with Akmal the only man to go so far dragging onto his own wicket off the bowling of Jimmy Anderson.
