Update After 30.0 overs

England continue to plie on the runs
England 164-2 (30.0 overs)

However his innings was ended when he tried one shot to many and ended up skiing a shot stright ot Wates at Deepish Mid wicket. Following his dismissal Pietersen came to the crease and has welcomed them with a series of well timed boundaries resulting in 22 at this point. Meanwhiel Bell has been solid as usual hitting 67 from 86 balls. So far Hogg has been the pick of the bowlers having just 20 runs scored of 8 overs compared to the 5-6 runs per over witnessed by Magoffin and Williams.

D.Gower- England have look settled and comfortbale whilst the Western Australians have struggled to get the ball in the right areas resulting in a flow of easy runs.

Bell played very well and look on target for a one day century however he fell 6 runs short after sking oen straight to Williams. Pietersen fell too after beign caught brillaintly LBW by hogg whowas definetly the pick of the bowlers. Furthermore Joyce coudl only manage 36 before he too was given out and Nixon on his debut for Egland onyl made 6 after being follishly ran out after nto grounding his bat. Darymple and Collingwood failed to impress and left the tail enders to scamper all the runs they could.

D.Gower- England struggled to capitalise from the position they once were in creating a difficult last 10 overs resulting in the loss of so many wickets. Western Australia will fancy they're chances on this wicket and will have plenty of hope.

Update after 15.0 overs

Western Australia trouble English bowlers
Western Australia 106-0 (15.0 overs)
England were 95-1

Western Australai have made the perfect start to their chase after scoring 106 in the opening 15 overs. Gilchrist has top scored with 50 not out and Langer has also contributed with 48 not out. For England the bowling was intial tight however wayward bowling from anderson with his 5 overs going for 45 enabled the Australians to piel on the runs.

D.Gower- Western Australai have the perfect base to build on. England still have plenty of runs and a few quick wickets will change this game around

Western Australia require 185 at 5.26 R.P.O

Update after 30.0 overs

The spinners thrive in great 15 over spell
Western Australia 152-2 (30.0 overs)
England were 164-1

England have fought back well taking 2 wickets for a mere 46 runs in a terrific 15 over spell. Langer was the first to depart after Dalrymple picked up the first wicket with his very first ball. Following this Martyn was bogged down along with Gilchrist thanks to some equally tight bowling from Pietersen at the other end. This eventually brought about the wicket of Martyn who was caught LBW trying to play a forward defense. England now find themsleves in a terrific position with them leaving the Western Australians needing nearly 7 an over from here on.

D.Gower- If Dalrymple and Pietersen can complete their spells at their current standard Western Australai will find them selves in a difficult positon trying to chase down 291.

Western Australia require 139 at 6.95 R.P.O

End of Innings 50.0 overs

Western Australia fall short after collapse
Western Australia 280-7 (50.0 overs)

England completed their victory by 10 rusn after Gilchrist fell for 99 of Collingwoods bowling and the fall of Hussey, North and Wates all failed to contriubute. Mahmood finsihed with 2 for 69 and Anderson 2 for 75 from 8 overs showing how he was targeted during the attack. Dalrymple and Pietersen finsihed with very respectable figures and was the difference between teams in the end. Things looked bad for the Western Australians when Gilchrist went for 99 after trying to hit Collingwood otu of the ground over Deep Square leg. Then came the collapse though Goodwin held in for a good 63 but fell just wehn he was needed after taking on the hook of Mahmood.

D.Gower- If Dalrymple and Pietersen can complete their spells at their current standard Western Australai will find them selves in a difficult positon trying to chase down 291.

England win by 10 runs
