... humiliation. There is no pattern to the play or team selection of the touring side. One moment Matthew Prior is chosen to open the batting, the next he finds himself down at eight, the same could be said of Ravi Bopara and certain others. Defeat follows defeat and the knee-jerk reaction is to mess around with everything, throw all the pieces up in the air and hope at some stage they...

Well, let’s start with the bad news first – India deserved to win the third One Day International in Kanpur.

... seven match series ended. The wickets, along with the earlier dismissals of Owais Shah, 58, and Matthew Prior left Yuvraj with the excellent figures of 4-28. The display backed up another memorable batting performance from the enigmatic left-hander, who scored another wonderful century, his second in consecutive one-dayers.

Having been put into bat by MCA, England’s start was disappointing as they lost Matthew Prior (13) when the score read 22. However, that did not affect the visitors and the second-wicket pair of Ian Bell and Owais Shah took the fight to the opposition.
