Story England's 2008-09 Season : England In India (1st Test, End Of Day 1)

[thesweepmaster]

Bloody hell New Zealand are in huge trouble now needing to go at 16.60 an over but they still have two batsmen at the crease that can attack in Ryder and Styris, so they may still do this!
Fantastic presentation mate, keep it up!

England vs New Zealand
Natwest International Twenty20
Live from Old Trafford, Manchester

England win a easy match
(Kiwis left distraught)​

By now the New Zealand fans knew that the game was over so as a result they started to disperse the Old Trafford cricket ground. However, the well renowned Barmy Army were cheering at their will knowing victory was imminent for England.

Broad ran-up to bowl the 16th over. Ryder took the opportunity and smashed the ball outside off-stump through mid-off resulting in a much welcome boundary. By the start of the 17th over Ryder had moved on to 15. Mascarenhas ran-up bowling his last over of the Innings. Immediately he got Ryder with a beauty. Ryder finally trying to get into attacking mode tried to heave the ball over mid-off. The ball swung in late and as a result Ryder was beaten with a fantastic yorker.

More wickets fell as the 20 overs finally ended with New Zealand reaching a disappointing 59/7.

D.Lloyd: That it. Start the car. England have won an easy match. New Zealand did not look in the game from ball 1. Lets have a look at the scorecards:

Ian Smith: Well that is a dismal batting card. They were off to a good start when Sinclair and Taylor got going but after that they just crumbled. The only resilience was Jesse Ryder making 15.

D.Lloyd: England bowled really well today with a bowler friendly pitch that was deteriorating over by over. Ryan Sidebottom 4 overs no maidens 3 for 21 stand-out bowler for me. He did the early damage just when New Zealand were about to up the tempo.

So the Match Summary then England put in to bat first made a par score of 127/9 with Mustard making 32. In reply, the Kiwis just got flattened by the England bowling attack. Sidebottom and Anderson with the wickets. Result...England win by 68 runs.

We will take a quick break and when we come back we will have the Presentation Ceremony ready.
