England bowled out for 81 !

Incredible, but true. The great batting of England, with Pieterson and Vaughan etc bowled out for 81. Chaminda Vas was the main architect of the destruction, with four wickets( 4/28). The new bowler Welegedara claiming 2 wickets ( 2/17) and Malinga picking up the all important wicket of Pieterson. It was a very bouncy ball which Pieterson tried to fend off and was caught behind !

England, following on , are none for 2.

At Melbourne, India are 110/3, in their match against Victoria. Openers Wasim Jaffer was out for nought, Laxman for one and Tendulkar for 19. Ganguly (51 no ) led the recovery with Dravid ( 33 no ).

Ponting scored another hundred and won the series against NZ. Ponting was 134 no in the Aussie total of 282 and NZ were bowled out for 168, with Lee claiming 3 wickets and Tait 2 !
