Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

England broke their 11-match run of defeats after batting first in one-dayers with an emphatic 70-run victory over India to clinch the three-match NatWest Challenge in the second game at The Oval. The platform for their win was set up by Andrew Flintoff, the Man of the Match for his stroke-filled 99, and Paul Collingwood who hit 79 not out. They shared in a record fifth-wicket stand of 174, which rescued England from a mid-innings slump. After a cautious start, the batsmen broke free to set an imposing total of 307: India’s innings fired in fits and starts, but never really got going, and despite some lower-order resistance they were eventually bowled out for 237.Flintoff came in with England wobbling after a bright start, and played himself in quietly before stamping his authority with two sixes off Virender Sehwag. Flintoff brought up his half-century with a swept four, and Collingwood wasn’t far behind: he took their vital stand past 100 by clipping Sehwag powerfully over midwicket for four, and reached his own half-century with a drive through the covers off Lakshmipathy Balaji’s slower one.Flintoff stepped up a gear in the last ten overs, straight-driving Yuvraj Singh and then smashing Balaji for an astonishing low six that was never more than three metres above the ground. He should then have been out, but Balaji put down a swirler at deep square.Balaji’s nightmare continued next over, as Flintoff carted him for another six and two more fours to move to 96. Balaji was mercifully removed from the attack – after conceding 77 in eight overs – but then Flintoff’s fine innings came to an abrupt end, just one short of what would have been his third one-day hundred of the summer (279 for 5), as Rahul Dravid made no mistake in holding a catch from a top-edged swipe off Ajit Agarkar, who proved even more expensive (6-0-60-1). Flintoff and Collingwood’s stand comfortably beat England’s previous best for the fifth wicket in ODIs – the 142 of Robin Smith and Graham Thorpe against Australia at Edgbaston in 1993.

Earlier, England made a strong start before the offspinning combination of Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh pegged them back. Marcus Trescothick and Vikram Solanki had been motoring along at almost seven an over before Sourav Ganguly switched to spin, triggering a mini-collapse in which four wickets tumbled for 34.Trescothick got going with some meaty drives through the off side, and Solanki, who reached 1000 runs in one-day cricket this season early on, played a series of excellent shots all round the wicket. Agarkar came into the attack in only the sixth over, but the boundaries continued to flow, and the fifty partnership came up from only 49 balls.Harbhajan, who missed out on the last match at Trent Bridge, was brought on after just ten overs. He made an immediate impact today, tempting Trescothick into a leg-side heave that was snapped up by Balaji (71 for 1). Harbhajan then struck again to have Michael Vaughan well caught down the leg side by Rahul Dravid (93 for 2). Sehwag came on at the other end, and England’s batsmen started to self-destruct, with Andrew Strauss top-edging a gentle catch to Ganguly to depart for just 2 (98 for 3).Solanki brought the hundred up in the 19th over, but was out shortly afterwards, just two short of what would have been a superb half-century. Mirroring Vaughan’s dismissal, Solanki was caught down the leg side, and a fourth wicket had fallen to spin (105 for 4). India seemed to have the game by the scruff of the neck – but Flintoff and Collingwood clawed their way back to set up what was, eventually, a matchwinning total.India were in trouble from the very first over, as they lost Sehwag to the third ball of the innings, lbw to Darren Gough (2 for 1). Ganguly briefly threatened with some characteristically brutal slashes past point, but he was then run out by Flintoff after a mid-pitch collision with VVS Laxman (10 for 2).Both Laxman and Mohammad Kaif went on the counter-attack, putting on 89, but the match tilted firmly back England’s way after a double strike by Ashley Giles, who was the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 26. Giles kept the pace off the ball, and wasn’t afraid to keep it pitched up either. He soon reaped the rewards, as Laxman was completely undone by a flighted delivery and popped a simple catch to Collingwood at extra cover (99 for 3). Things then got worse for India, as Dravid came and went very quickly for just a single, edging Alex Wharf to Geraint Jones (102 for 4).

Kaif brought up a good half-century with a whipped two off Alex Wharf, and many Indian fans would have started harbouring hopes of a fightback to equal the one between Yuvraj and Kaif in the NatWest Series final at Lord’s in 2002, but it was not to be. Kaif fell to Giles in tame fashion, top-edging a sweep to Vaughan at short fine leg (113 for 5)Rohan Gavaskar then played over the top of a full delivery from Giles and was bowled for 13, and at 143 for 6 things were looking very dire for India. Agarkar went down fighting, crashing sixes off Giles and Vaughan, but he couldn’t stop India’s slide. Yuvraj chipped Gough straight to Vaughan at midwicket (169 for 7), and two balls later Pathan was out too, top-edging a pull after being cramped for room by a Gough bouncer (169 for 8).Gough wasn’t done there, and had Agarkar caught by Trescothick at long-off to take his tally of ODI wickets to 199 (173 for 9). The 200th evaded him, though, as Balaji and Harbhajan compiled a record tenth-wicket partnership of 64 for India before Flintoff wrapped up the innings, and a fine day in the field for himself, by bowling Balaji for 18.

English cricket needs television but television needs England to do better. In the July issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly John Stern examines the delicate business of rights, prices and programmingWhen Channel 4 said they were not showing highlights of the 2002-03 Ashes series there was sufficient viewer backlash to make them change their minds. At around the same time last autumn WCM revealed that the start time for Test cricket in England was to be brought forward to 10.45am – at the request of C4. That start time may yet get earlier.When it was clear that the World Cup would have no presence – even in highlight form – on terrestrial television, C4 received around a dozen complaints. When they went off air as scheduled at 6pm on the second day of the first Test against Zimbabwe, there was some mild discontent. Yet when C4 stayed with the cricket the following day until the finish at around 7.40pm, they received more than 100 complaints about the rescheduling of a documentary on Sir Edmund Hillary.So who calls the shots? Who wears the trousers in this increasingly important marriage between cricket and TV? Is it the broadcasters? The ECB? The players? Or the viewers?English cricket first got into bed with C4 in 1999 in a three-year deal that took Test cricket away from the BBC for the first time. This was a joint deal between C4 and Sky, who had the rights to show one Test a summer for the first time plus the increasing volume of England’s one-day cricket. This deal was made possible only by government legislation (helped by ECB lobbying) to remove Test cricket from what are termed the "crown jewels" of televised sport, which include the FA Cup final and Wimbledon tennis. These events must be shown live on free-to-air television. But the ECB felt it had a product to sell which was undervalued, hence its desire to have Test cricket removed from the A-list. It is now classified as a B-list sport of which the Independent Television Commission requires only highlights to be shown on free-to-air.On May 18, 2001 – a day the ECB described as "a great day for cricket" – a three-year extension to the deal with C4 and Sky was signed and valued at £150 million, which was a 57% increase on the original deal. Whichever broadcasters seal the next deal, it seems inconceivable they will pay anywhere near that £150 million. The collapse of ITV Digital last year indicated how over-valued sports TV rights had become. The combined revenue from broadcast rights and sponsorship made up 87% of the ECB’s gross profits in 2002.C4’s coverage of Test cricket has won many awards and is widely admired. Yet there are suggestions that C4 are losing interest in the game and may not bid for the rights again when the deal ends in 2005. Last autumn David Brook, the director of strategy and development whose passion for cricket was the driving force behind bringing Test coverage to C4, left the channel.The summer of 2001 – with an Ashes series in which England were expected to compete strongly – was supposed to bring home the bacon for C4. It did not. Viewing figures peaked at 1.9 million for the Lord’s Test against Pakistan – the first of the summer – and fell consistently below that level as England were beaten heavily by Australia."Audiences for the Ashes were very good in the circumstances," says David Kerr, C4’s head of sport. The circumstances to which he refers are the fact that England continue to be ritually flogged every time they play Australia.When England beat West Indies in a thrilling early-evening finish on the Saturday of the Lord’s Test in 2000, C4 hit a high of five million viewers. There are only so many people who will watch Test cricket on TV regardless of England’s fortunes. In the Lord’s Test against Zimbabwe C4’s audience peaked at around two million on the Saturday evening when England completed their victory. Overall the first Test brought in an average of 1.1 million viewers ("very pleasing," according to Kerr) which was not far off the numbers who watched the Ashes Tests of 2001. For C4 to justify their expenditure on cricket (around 3-4% of their overall programming budget) they need England to do better. More specifically they need England to do better against Australia.Kerr dismisses suggestions that C4 are losing interest in cricket and will not be drawn on cricket’s next TV deal which the ECB would hope to have in place by the end of the 2005 summer at the latest. "It’s far too early to speculate on that," says Kerr. "We’re concentrating on making cricket as popular as possible over the next few years."There is a suspicion that the BBC are still smarting from the loss of Test cricket to C4. Whenever C4 leave the cricket to go racing there is normally a BBC employee ready with a barbed comment in the press box. There seems to be some mythical perfection attributed to the BBC’s televised coverage of cricket. They would interrupt it for news bulletins and viewers would miss the start of the second session for Neighbours. And from mid-June onwards Test matches would jostle for position with tennis, racing and golf.The BBC declined to talk on the record to WCM about the future of cricket on TV, which might indicate a lack of interest (cricket was dismissed with one quip by Gary Lineker during the BBC’s sports review of the year last December) or it could just be that they are being deliberately cagey as part of a long-term strategy. They might be hoping that C4 lose interest and they can buy back the rights from a worried ECB at a knock-down price. Industry rumour suggests that the BBC may no longer view cricket as a viable sport for television because of the time it takes and the weather. But Mark Sibley, the ECB’s new commercial director, says: "There is a new sense of sporting value at the BBC and they seem more competitive in the way they go out and bid for sports."Test cricket is a nightmare for TV schedulers. The hours of play are uncertain as is the weather. Many purists already consider that TV exerts too much influence on the staging of cricket, yet the decision to start at 10.45am is only the tip of the iceberg. The idea was to stop C4’s cricket coverage eating into the lucrative (for advertisers) early-evening schedules containing the teen soap opera Hollyoaks and their flagship news programme. Do not be surprised if Tests in England start as early as 10am before long. C4 are also unhappy about slow over-rates which cause a day’s play to over-run. "We’re looking for improvements," says Kerr. "It is in everybody’s interests for the game to be played in a pacier way. Cricket should be as compact an experience as possible."If the BBC did show Test cricket again, they might see it as an opportunity to schedule some of it on their digital channels. The other left-field option is the possibility of Channel Five using a bid for the rights to establish a credibility – and ABC1 advertising – that has hitherto eluded them.The ECB could, if it wanted to, sell all the live rights to Sky. The penetration of cable and satellite TV has reached around 40% of UK homes. But this seems unlikely. "It is crucial to the well-being of the game for the ECB to have a terrestrial broadcast partner," says Sibley. "But we recognise the value of what Sky do for cricket and there is a certain amount of money that we do need to receive from TV rights; it is about getting the right balance." Sibley adds: "The mix might be different going forward."There may be a lesson to be learned from rugby league where fraught negotiations are ongoing for a new TV deal. In 1995 rugby league sold all its rights for domestic league and international matches to Sky. But now there is a move to bring Great Britain internationals back to the BBC in the hope that it can breed a new generation of national – rather than regional – heroes like Ellery Hanley and Shaun Edwards. The profile of rugby union’s Six Nations Championship was raised considerably when England’s matches returned to the BBC.Maybe a cut-price TV deal would not be such a bad thing. Maybe what cricket really needs is less not more television money so that the counties finally wake up and enter the real world.Click here to subscribe to Wisden Cricket Monthly

The final of MRF Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament got underway at the MAChidambaram Stadium, Chepauk in Chennai on Tuesday. At close of play on the first day, New Zealand ‘A’ were on 231 for the loss of three wickets. The highlight of the opening day was a dashing century by the New Zealand ‘A’ opening batsman Mark Richardson.Earlier in the day Rohan Gavaskar won the toss for Cricket Association of Bengal XI and did not hesitate to put New Zealand ‘A’ to bat first. Richardson and skipper Matthew Bell gave New Zealand ‘A’ a sound start adding 80 runs for the first wicket off 26.3 overs. For once the tall, well-built Shib Sankar Paul failed to give the early breakthrough for CAB XI. The left-handed batsman Richardson was particularly aggressive of the two opening batsmen, smacking boundaries on either sides of the wicket.Matthew Bell’s vigil at the crease came to an end when Saurasish Lahiri trapped him in front of the wicket. Bell compiled a patient 22 off 75 balls with the help of three boundaries. After the departure of the skipper, the run rate slowed down considerably against the spin attack of Lahiri and Utpal Chatterjee.Richardson and Matt Horne added 38 runs off 21 overs to take New Zealand ‘A’ score to 118 in the 48th over. Horne was caught by Chatterjee off the bowling of Laxmi Ratan Shukla after making 15 runs off 55 balls.Lou Vincent joined Richardson in the middle and the run rate got a little fillip that it badly needed. Vincent was in a positive frame of mind, going for his shots to accumulate runs. The two batsmen added 81 runs off 30 overs for the third wicket to take the New Zealand ‘A’ score to a respectable 199 runs in the 78th over.The thirty-year-old batsman, who plays for Otago in New Zealand, got to his well-deserved hundred in the mean while. Before being caught by Jaiswal off the bowling of Shukla, he made 112 runs off 252 balls, striking the ball cleanly for 17 boundaries. It was a good hand from Richardson ensuring that New Zealand ‘A’ got off to a solid start.By close of play Lou Vincent got to his half century and remained unbeaten on 54 off 113 balls, a knock punctuated with nine boundaries and a six. Hamish Marshall is unbeaten on 11 off 32 balls and has added 42 runs for the fourth wicket partnership so far. Shukla was the best of the bowlers picking up 2/50. New Zealand ‘A’ will be looking forward to post a huge total tomorrow, on a pitch that is full of runs. Lou Vincent will have to carry on with the good form that he has shown so far.

Fidel Edwards bagged a nine-wicket haul for the match as Hampshire won their first County Championship match at the Ageas Bowl in 2015.West Indian fast bowler Edwards took two of the four morning scalps – ending with figures of nine for 87 – as Hampshire, forced to bowl spin because of woirsening weather, beat the rain by moments.The victory boosts Hampshire’s unlikely survival bid with 21 points and all but ends Warwickshire’s hopes of stealing the Championship crown from an increasingly dominant Yorkshire.Edwards has now taken 22 wickets in four Championship matches at 21.45 and has bowled some of the fastest spells of the season, making him a key figure in Hampshire’s attempt to escape demotion.Jackson Bird has announced he is returning to his Australian state side Tasmania at the end of the month to be replaced by South African all-rounder Ryan McLaren.Rikki Clarke provided solid resistance on the third day with a stoic 53, but he appeared in a rush in the morning flicking the first ball through the leg side for two. Atempting to repeat the shot to the fourth ball of the day he loosely chipped to Joe Gatting at mid-wicket off Bird.Edwards added his eighth wicket of the match by having Keith Barker lbw in the second over of the morning – as Warwickshire capitulated before the forecast rain.Chris Woakes provided a luscious cover drive and a clip off the hips for boundaries as he offered a selection of good looking shots for the sparse crowd.Jeetan Patel got away with an edge to slip which did not quite carry to Liam Dawson at second slip. Then in the next over a vicious bouncer from Edwards saw off the New Zealander, as the ball looped off his glove to Will Smith at short leg.Woakes and Boyd Rankin frustrated the home side with a 41-run partnership in 86 balls as Hampshire were only allowed to utilise spin in dreary conditions.Smith finally broke the partnership nearly 90 minutes into the morning as Woakes clipped to Mason Crane at mid-on – to give Hampshire a 216 run win.

Anjum Chopra, the former India captain, has said that the state of women’s cricket has improved in the country under the management of the Indian board.”Things have certainly improved, facilities have increased. Women cricketers are being paid better than before. But it is too early to comment on anything, it is an ongoing development,” she told . The women’s game was previously handled by a separate women’s board before a merger with the BCCI took place last year.Speaking on the sidelines of a book release, Chopra said: “I am happy that the game is being recognised. As a woman cricketer it is a great feeling to be among the country’s elite sports personalities.”Chopra is due to receive the Arjuna Award, an annual honour given by the federal government to sportspersons excelling in their field, on August 29.

Former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak has ruled out a return to Zimbabwe colours for next year’s World Cup because of to his contractual commitment to Warwickshire, where he is captain.”I would love to have played another World Cup,” he told Zimbabwe’s Sunday News. “However, my Warwickshire commitments start in March. I am committed to them and have no intention of jeopardising my future with the club.”Streak did not rule out playing for his country again – when he signed his contract for Warwickshire he indicated that he would be available should he be called on when he was not needed in England. But he was not contacted by Zimbabwe Cricket about his availability.”At the moment, I have not had any contact from anyone in the ZC asking me to come out of retirement,” he explained. “But I am focused on finishing my career as a county player at Warwickshire. I am enjoying my cricket without all the stress that surrounded Zimbabwe cricket the last few years. It does sadden me to see all the young players previously playing for Zimbabwe who are now playing club and county cricket in the UK.”It is criminal that a player like Tatenda Taibu has not been spoken to try to get him back into the playing arena where he is desperately needed.” Last week, Taibu, who played for Pyrford in Surrey during the summer, ruled out a comeback with Zimbabwe and made clear that he believed his future lay in South Africa.In June, shortly before the Bangladesh one-day series, Kevin Curran, Zimbabwe’s coach, visited the UK to try to persuade disaffected players to return to play. Streak said Curran never got in touch with him or other senior players such as Taibu, Ray Price and Gavin Ewing.A sign of the state of confusion still surrounding the game in Zimbabwe came when Curran admitted to the newspaper that he was unaware that Streak was potentially available and that he would be considered for the tour to Bangladesh at the end of the year.Streak admitted that he still kept one eye on cricket in Zimbabwe, and while he was clearly pleased with the recent series win over Bangladesh, he added that in his opinion the standard of cricket was not high.

New Zealand 48 for 2 trail Zimbabwe 231 (Taibu 76, Bond 6-51) by 183 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball

Zimbabwe battled back from a wretched start to end the first day at Queens Sports Club in a reasonable position. In reply to their 231 – and that had seemed a distant prospect when they went to lunch on 76 for 5 – New Zealand closed on 48 for 2. They have a long way to go, but at least this resembled a contest.Shane Bond’s opening salvo threatened to make this match as appalling for Zimbabwe as at Harare. Taibu won the toss and decided to bat on a pitch without much grass covering and under a clear sky. That advantage was lost on the top order as the first three wickets fell for just 9 runs. The second ball of the day from Bond swung back in, beat Dion Ebrahim’s attempted drive and trapped him leg before. Stuart Carlisle fell in similar fashion and then Hamilton Masakadza, softened up by fierce bowling from Bond, went for a desperate hook and holed out to fine leg for 0.Brendan Taylor and Craig Wishart fought back well, and for a time they seemed to have weathered the storm. They played some handsome drives and were looking threatening when a superb catch in the gully by Nathan Astle, diving athletically to his right, removed Wishart for 30. Two more wickets fell quickly shortly before the interval. Taylor played a disappointing slash outside his off stump to give Bond his 50th wicket in Tests – and he grabbed No. 51 with the next delivery as Heath Streak was caught behind off a thick outside edge to give Bond the remarkable figures of 5 for 11 off seven overs before lunch.

Zimbabwe needed a near-miracle to find respectability, and Taibu played a classic captain’s innings. Beginning slowly, he gradually opened out, showing masterly shot selection against the rampant bowlers. He received good support from debutant Keith Dabengwa (17, and whose first scoring shot in Test cricket was a six off Daniel Vettori) and Blessing Mahwire, who held his end up gallantly in a partnership that realised 88 runs. Their defiance showed the top order what determination and a concentration on the basics could do.Bond, with the old ball, ended Taibu’s resistance as he perished hooking straight to long leg, and Mahwire soon followed, holing out at mid-on for 42. Bond ended with Test-best figures of 6 for 51.New Zealand faced nine overs before the close, but, as had been the case at Harare, Zimbabwe made early inroads into their top order. James Marshall was the first to go when he cut Streak and Carlisle took a sharp catch in the gully.The final ball of the day produced a second wicket among scenes verging on the farcical as Hamish Marshall steered the ball to gully and set off for a run. Both he and Lou Vincent finished at the non-striker’s end as Taibu took off the bails at the other. It took the third umpire to decide that Marshall would not be back in the morning.

Scorecard
Scotland closed the second day of their Intercontinental Cup match at Clontarf in Dublin with all the aces as they went some way towards avenging their European Championship defeat to Ireland last month. After Scotland were all out for 167 in their first innings, Ireland crashed to 178 with Asim Butt taking 5 for 47. Fraser Watts then scored 57 not out as Scotland closed in on their target at 118 for 2.Scotland only added another 34 runs in the remainder of their first innings in the morning, as Naseer Shaukat mopped up the tail to finish with figures of 5 for 60. That gave Ireland a lead of 26, but they soon wasted the initiative as Asim made early inroads into the top order. He removed the top three, and Craig Wright and Paul Hoffmann then chipped in with two wickets each. Only Andrew White, who scored 67, and Trent Johnston, who managed 47, contributed to the meagre total, which left Scotland requiring 205 for victory.However, in keeping with the match so far, both Scottish openers fell early, but Watts and David Lockhart added an unbroken stand of 80 to put Scotland 87 runs away from victory.The result isn’t yet a foregone conclusion, but the final semi-final place may be inching towards Scotland, who will only qualify only if they pull off a comprehensive victory. Ireland, on the other hand, have to avoid defeat in this match to qualify for the semi-finals in Dubai in November.

Sanath Jayasuriya will play in Sri Lanka’s crucial match against New Zealandon Tuesday but team officials are concerned over his health after his fourthbout of tonsillitis in three months.Jayasuriya stayed in bed and missed practice on Sunday after sufferingwhat manager Ajit Jayasekera described as “a severe fever”. He coughed andspluttered his way through net practice on Monday.Jayasuriya had been plagued with tonsillitis during the Super Six stage ofthe 2003 World Cup and had been laid low again during last month’s Sharjah Cup.”We are concerned by the number of times that he has been laid low by tonsillitis,” said Jayasekara. “This is the fourth time since the start ofthe World Cup.”Sri Lanka are expected to make two changes to their lineup for the New Zealand game, with Tillakaratne Dilshan replacing Russel Arnold in the middle order and Upul Chandana getting a look in as an allrounder.

It was a day of slow progress by Yorkshire batsmen as they reached 179 for five from 85 overs at stumps at the AMP Oval. On a slow pitch they were tied down by some accurate Surrey bowling, the most economical of which came from Saqlain Mushtaq.He conceded 13 runs, including three boundaries, in his first two overs and then found his line and length to bowl the next 31 for only 33 runs with just one hit for four. The Pakistan spinner was unlucky to finish without a wicket despite beating the bat time and again, finding considerable turn off the pitch.David Byas, in particular, found him difficult to get away, managing only 24 runs in two hours at the crease. When he did attempt to go for his shots – during Surrey’s double spin attack, with Ian Salisbury being brought on – he was soon dismissed, bowled by the leg-spinner while attempting a sweep.That was the fifth wicket to fall, half an hour before bad light ended the day’s proceedings with, perhaps, time left for just one more over. Anthony McGrath remained unbeaten with 69 from 194 balls. It was his first fifty of the season having missed about six weeks of it through injury.Twenty overs were lost from the day’s play earlier after rain had fallen steadily during the lunch break and when play resumed at 2.45pm Surrey were quick to claim two wickets. Martin Bicknell took them both in successive balls with the total on 99.Matthew Wood, who had batted so well for his 110-ball fifty, with five boundaries, was snapped up at first slip and Vic Craven was trapped lbw.During the rain-shortened second session Yorkshire added 31 to their lunch score to reach 123 for four.While this match may not be much more than of academic interest to Yorkshire who have already won the Cricinfo Championship title, it is vitally important for Surrey in their attempt to avoid relegation.Having been asked to bowl first on a cloudy morning, the London side began reasonably well, claiming two wickets for 64. Bicknell, in the 13th over, had Chris Taylor lbw for seven with the total 34 and ten overs later, Ed Giddens, having changed ends, had Michael Vaughan edge to second slip for 11.Wood, meanwhile, scored steadily. He drove Saqlain for four to extra-cover in the first over from the off-spinner and in his next over he took another boundary, this time with a drive to mid-wicket.He reached 44 with a straight hit for four off Ben Hollioake who conceded another boundary in that over, his first, when Anthony McGrath square cut him. At lunch Wood was on 46 and McGrath, who was 17, later progressed to 29 by tea. In the final session he added a further 40 to his score.
