Oh aye! 138-3 [27.1] Bopara 52no

England win by 7 wickets

Man of the Match - Ravi Bopara

Player of the Series - Ian Bell

The ODI rankings now reads:-

1. Aus 119 pts
2. SA 118 pts
3. Eng 118 pts

If it hadn't rained at Edgbaston, we would've had that top spot now, I'm sure. Eleven wins on the trot now as well.

What a team. All looks good. Smile

Well maybe not quite like that, but all the same Shane Watson and Brett Lee have both got calf strains which have caused their early release from the tour. And at 35 years old, who can say whether or not Brett Lee limping off the field at Chester-le-Street will be his last appearance in Australian colours? Both players are rated as doubtful for the ODI and t20 tour of the UAE against Pakistan in August and therefore doubtful also for the t20 World Cup in Sri Lanka in September.

Yes it was. He's just announced his retirement from international cricket.
