and a young feminist decides to celebrate by going topless, the crowd cheer and the English team have their camcorders out

presentations... Campbell somehow thinks "we have nothing to lose", Stewart gets a petty little remark in at the media, and says he isn't worried about his own form

Man of the Match is Alan Mullally.... he tries his old furphy: "I just try to bowl straight and hope for the best" but noone believes him

tomorrow's matches are SA v Kenya, the first ever ODI from mainland Europe, starting at 0845 GMT. With the much awaited India v Sri Lanka match to follow at 0945 GMT.
