Zimbabwe won the toss and sent England in to bat.

Trescothick got off to his now usual flying start with 38 @ run a ball but when he went, England found it heavy going against the middle order spinners. Flintoff scored 53.

They are now on 8/190 after Blignaut just took 2 wickets in two balls.

Blignaut is on a hat trick. Giles prods it for a single and Zimbabwe are chasing 192 to win.

Very disappointing effort by England especially with the bat. I didnt see them bowl. However they seem to be blooding new players so hopefully some of them will show some potential

What happened to Nick Knight ?? Is he injured ??

The Torres bounce is officially dead. You are walking alone now Fernando.

JLC, you failed to even mention the other team !! Nick Knight retired, m8. Probably got sick and tired of getting England (with Trescothick) off to good starts only to see them throw in the towel.

Congratulations, Zimbabwe, on a wonderful, fighting victory. They took the initiative. Streak saw the wicket was a bit dodgy and sent England in.

After a flurry from Trescothick, the other English batsmen were restricted by pin point accurate bowling from 2 lesser lights in the Zimbabwe attack.

Price (1/20) and Marillier (1/30) bowled 20 overs in the middle section for only 50 runs. Streak showed his class with 2/30 from 9 overs.

Gough and Johnson then ripped through the top order to have Zimbabwe almost begging for mercy at 4/15 in the 10 over.

I say almost because Grant Flower and Stuart Matsikenyeri would have none of that as they methodically rescued the innings with 96 for the 5th. wicket.

Flower is a veteran and could be expected to guts it out but Matsi was a revelation. In only his 4th. international, he got his head down to contribute a vital 44 from 55 balls. An excellent effort for a 20 year old.

Streak (7) and Flower kept the scoreboard ticking over with 32. Ervine came to the crease and played like a champ for 26 n.o. from 25 in a stand of 52 with Flower as they won with 12 balls to spare.

Flower's 96 n.o. was one of the finest ODI innings' I've seen, given the circumstances and duly earned him Man of the Match.

South africa won the toss and batted against England. Anderson struck early and SA were 2/33 after 8.

A century stand from Kallis (107) and Boucher (55) set up a 6/264 total.

Flintoff took 3/46.
