Harmison bowls a woeful over as Chanderpaul hits all the 6 balls for 4

A great bit of fielding from Englands Paul Collingwood helps England in their cause of keeping the runs down

Ricardo Powell eyes up a flighted ball from Giles

ZIMBABWE v ENGLAND

Welcome to England's second match of the Natwest World Cup against below par side Zimbabwe. England lost their opening game against the West Indies and will therefore be looking to get a win here.

England yet again win the toss and elect to bat

The first ball of the innings is hit for 4 by the out of form Trescothick despite the best efforts of the fielder.

Trescothick again showing poor form going early thanks to the desciplined bowling of Streak

Streak celebrates the breakthrough

Strauss gets off the mark first ball

The very next ball the bowler gets a bit of revenge as Strauss as to defend a beautiful yorker

Great fielding in the covers

Vaughan shows just what he can do with an elegant cover drive

im reading it mate, you were unlucky to lose the first game considering you only needed a dozen more runs or so, keep up the good work.
