All out 51. FANTASTIC!

This piece of outstanding literature should be retained for posterity.


2.1 Taylor to Cook, OUT, got him! No, dropped him - has he? He's taken it at the second attempt! An excellent, probing delivery by Taylor to which Cook drives loosely at, the ball flying low to Devon Smith at second slip. He scooped it, shelled it, and crouched forward to take it at the second attempt
AN Cook c Smith b Taylor 0 (11m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

England 1/1 AJ Strauss 1* (7b) JE Taylor 1.1-0-1-1
9.4 Benn to Bell, OUT, got him! Benn's done it for West Indies! A bit too wide to be playing the cut, particularly with silly point in place - and especially as lunch was only two balls away. Bell went back, the ball took the inside edge of his cut-stroke and Ramdin took a fine catch
IR Bell c wicketkeeperRamdin b Benn 4 (24m 22b 0x4 0x6) SR: 18.18

England 11/2 AJ Strauss 5* (31b) SJ Benn 2.4-0-2-1
10.1 Taylor to Pietersen, OUT, absolutely stunning delivery! Full, fast, straight, late outswing, and Pietersen's off stump cartwheels into the middle distance!
KP Pietersen b Taylor 1 (3m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

England 12/3 AJ Strauss 5* (31b) JE Taylor 3.1-0-7-2
16.2 Taylor to Strauss, OUT, that's what happens when you can't get the board moving! A beautiful line across the left-hander, demanding a response, and the thinnest of grazes flies through to Ramdin!
AJ Strauss c wicketkeeperRamdin b Taylor 9 (69m 50b 0x4 0x6) SR: 18.00

England 20/4 PD Collingwood 1* (19b) JE Taylor 6.2-2-8-3
18.1 Taylor to Collingwood, OUT, good grief, what's happened there? Collingwood doesn't have a clue, he's haring up and down the pitch, running two runs for an inside-edge. But, and it's a rather monstrous but, that inside-edge has flicked his leg stump! The tell-tale bail is sat grinning on the ground, and England are in absolute, total, and unbelievably comprehensive disarray!
PD Collingwood b Taylor 1 (35m 20b 0x4 0x6) SR: 5.00

England 23/5 A Flintoff 3* (10b) JE Taylor 7.1-2-11-4
18.5 Taylor to Prior, OUT, five for Taylor, in the blink of an eye! A beautiful slower-ball offcutter, pings through the gate, and well blow me down, this could be over tonight!
MJ Prior b Taylor 0 (2m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

England 23/6 A Flintoff 3* (10b) JE Taylor 7.5-2-11-5
19.6 Benn to Broad, OUT, gone! Un-be-lievable! Slightly back of a length, turning off the track, met with a full face, and clipped straight into Xavier Marshall's hands at short leg!
SCJ Broad c Marshall b Benn 0 (5m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

England 26/7 A Flintoff 6* (15b) SJ Benn 8-1-11-2
31.5 Benn to Sidebottom, OUT, Sidebottom is rapped on the pads and up goes Rudi's finger. But Sidebottom is referring it. Now then. Daryl Harper will have to find a specific error with the on-field umpire's original (out) decision, and replays are indicating that it would've gone onto hit the stumps. After a short delay, Rudi raises his finger for the second time and Sidebottom is furious...
RJ Sidebottom lbw b Benn 6 (51m 43b 0x4 0x6) SR: 13.95

England 50/8 A Flintoff 24* (43b 3x4) SJ Benn 13.5-2-31-3
32.3 Edwards to Flintoff, OUT, BOWLED HIM! Well, you have to say it was almost inevitable. Flintoff was lining himself up to carve Edwards either inside out over point, or over midwicket. He tried to go over midwicket and was bowled by a decent, fast, full delivery
A Flintoff b Edwards 24 (78m 47b 3x4 0x6) SR: 51.06

England 51/9 SJ Harmison 0* (1b) FH Edwards 0.3-0-1-1
33.2 Benn to Harmison, OUT, bowled him! He went for a sweep and dragged it on - and West Indies record a quite brilliant victory
SJ Harmison b Benn 0 (10m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

England 51/10 MS Panesar 0* (3b) SJ Benn 14.2-2-31-4

This (batting) team are going to be playing Australia mid year.

Will they be playing for NZ's current position in the test rankings by then?
