So, despite the storm around Flintoff's late-night escapades, England swarmed to victory, with a 51-run win against Canada. They were lacklustre at times in the field, lacking a killer instinct, but Canada's batting was fairly impressive. England also have concerns about the middle order once again.

But the focus of today, of course, isn't on this match - but on the sad and shocking news that Bob Woolmer has died. Tributes have been pouring in and they are here.

I'll leave you with this one from Pakistan's captain Inzamam-ul-Haq: "I am shocked and badly hurt. We have lost a good coach and a good person."

PD Collingwood to Dhaniram, OUT

worked off the legs and there's a huge call for a run out at the non-striker's end. England think they've got their man, with a throw on the knees from Bopara and Collingwood does the rest

Collingwood back into the attack. Canada can't win this now - OK, yes, technically they can but they're not going to - but they've acquitted themselves well with their batting
