It was a no Tom and Jerry chase as the Everton batsmen scorched in the run chase in just under 42 overs.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Everton claiming an impressive victory by 5 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Everton and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Everton proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Alastair Cook smashed in a respectable 85 of 62 deleviries to take his team to a victory road.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Chelsea claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Chelsea and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Chelsea proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Rangana Herath cleaned in 3 wickets to roar Liverpool into an easy win.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Liverpool claiming an impressive victory by 59 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Liverpool and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Liverpool proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Max Sorensen took too long to settle in as Manchester City lost their Pre season Manchester derby.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Manchester United claiming an impressive victory by 42 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Manchester United and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of seam or spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Manchester United proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
