and that's that. Play and a miss to end the game which means England win a scrappy match quite comfortably

England win by 11 runs Not the most memorable match with rain ruining a good occasion. England's bright young things flunked with the bat but were pretty good with the ball. A game that looked tight half-way became easy and unsatisfactory as rain had its way. Eoin Morgan is named man of the match and gets to collect the trophy. Must feel a little awkward surely? Mind you I don't think Morgan ever feels anything. Jonathan Trott, by the way, top-scored in the game. Anyway, more of that and other things in Andrew Miller's report. That's all from us, thanks for the emails.

Dockrell ran down the wicket and outside leg. Dernbach was full and outside off so the batsman had to leave it

Dernbach to Cusack, 1 run
Cusack manages a single in the end. He horribly mistimed this back to the bowler but with Dockrell haring up the other end Dernbach aimed a shy - and missed - the overthrow collected the single

Dernbach to Dockrell, 1 run
clubbed with plenty of inelegance down the ground but only for one

Patel to Cusack, 2 runs
touch of spin unnerves Cusack as he comes down the ground. Ends up skewing a drive out to Finn at deep point

Patel to Wilson, OUT
smart bowling with a touch of air and spin gets Patel reward. Wilson had to try and find the boundary but ended up with an outside edge that looped towards Bopara who clung on

Bopara to Wilson, 1 run
slower ball ends a decent over. Worked carefully to short third man. England are favourites but one big over will change that swiftly

slower ball is flipped to deep square where Finn runs in sharply to prevent two

Bopara to Cusack, 1 run
good delivery around off stump worked to point
England have a meeting with the umpires to work out who can bowl. Bopara and Dernbach have one each left.

ah Mooney almost got enough here. Smashed it down the ground and Stokes did well on the boundary edge to hold on above his head
