England v New Zealand final day

I'm fairly busy this morning so will post a more considered comment on the Test match later but it is interesting that after two full days were effectively lost to bad weather and the first innings ended in all but parity, England are still hopeful of forcing victory on the last day. That says something about the brittle state of New Zealand's batting. As I type, eight overs of the day have gone and England have taken two of the ten wickets that they will need to take by, I'd guess, mid-afternoon if they are to leave enough time for their batsmen to win the match.

New Zealand 266-5 England 215: Miserable England in need of Flintoff lift

The highlight of a miserable week for the England cricket team, a week that has seen the morality and ability of the one-day side questioned, took place in Brighton yesterday morning. It was the sight of a fit Andrew Flintoff (right) running up the hill at Hove and bowling for Lancashire in the LV Championship First Division match against Sussex.

Flintoff plays hard but fair and it is difficult to believe England's appeal for the run out of New Zealand's Grant Elliott would have been carried out at The Oval on Wednesday had he been playing. England need Flintoff back, not just to bowl hostile overs, give the ball an almighty smack and take breathtaking catches at slip but to provide the dressing r
