England's World Cup campaign is up and wheezing. They were disgraceful in the field, unspectacular with the bat but have got home fairly securely. There was one outstanding performance and it came from Ryan ten Doeschate, who was stunning with his 110-ball 119. He followed it up with 2 for 47 from 10 overs on a flat pitch to prove what a high-class performer he is.
"We got a lot of things wrong with our bowling and fielding," says Strauss. That's an understatement. "Very good wicket, we knew if we kept wickets in hand we'd have a good chance. We have to improve as the tournament goes on."
Unsurprisingly, ten Doeschate is named man of the match. "It was pretty special for me. I told my team-mates we're put out a really good performance here on the biggest stage. There wasn't too much planning but we assessed as we went along. I haven't set personal goals for the World Cup but I want us to carry on playing great cricket."
