Well, a comprehensive win for England there, outclassing Kenya emphatically. Encouraging signs, too, for England with their bowlers showing good form - Anderson bowled a terrific opening spell. Joyce was calm and patient in his 75; Pietersen was dominant and forceful in his 56. "We're getting better suited to these wickets, which I think is key," he said after the match. "It's nice to contribute to the team, and to win is special. To get fifty odd in a very important game, yes - it's special." It's all very special and, on that note, it's goodbye from us.
