Not since Marcus Trescothick was in his prime have England had an opener who could keep pace with the Sehwags, Dilshans and Gayles of the world

Dileep Premachandran in Nagpur21-Feb-2011

Not since Marcus Trescothick was in his prime have England had an opener who could keep pace with the Sehwags, Dilshans and Gayles of the world. The injury that ruled Eoin Morgan out of the tournament and forced England to reassess their batting strategy could, therefore, have major ramifications for their World Cup campaign.The decision to open with Kevin Pietersen is the obvious result, while Matt Prior, who struggled in Australia at the top of the order, has found his niche in the middle. “He played brilliantly at six against Canada and played a nice little cameo against Pakistan as well,” said Andrew Strauss on the eve of England’s first game against the Netherlands. “Pietersen, we’ve always felt, has the game to prosper at the top of the order in the subcontinent, on these type of wickets. I think he could take a couple of the opposition teams by surprise and put pressure on them.”Strauss himself is a very different player, steady rather than spectacular, and he reckoned that the different methods employed would make things harder for opposition bowlers. “I didn’t make many in the warm-up games, but we’re very contrasting players,” he said. “That might make it hard for bowlers to adjust to us. I’m very excited to bat alongside him, let’s put it that way. I think it could flourish into a very good partnership.”Two months ago, English cricket was riding the crest of a huge Ashes wave. Since then, after an injury-plagued one-day series that saw Australia win 6-1, questions have been asked about England’s stomach for 50-overs battle now that the urn is in safe keeping.Strauss insisted, however, that the Ashes hangover was long gone. “The World Cup only happens every four years,” he said. “If you’re lucky, you might play two or three in your career. You don’t want to have any regrets at the end of it.”That [losing intensity] was an accusation that could have been levelled during the one-day series in Australia. But not the World Cup. We’re up for it. There’s a good vibe and buzz about everything out here at the moment.”The feel-good factor has been enhanced by the return of Graeme Swann to full fitness and England have the full squad to choose from for a game against the side that embarrassed them in the World Twenty20 less than two years ago.That defeat at Lord’s is not uppermost in English minds these days, and Strauss preferred to think of it as a cautionary tale. “It underlines the point that you can’t underestimate teams like Holland,” he said. “They’ve played a lot of cricket now and are a side with some obvious strengths. We need to be good enough to overcome those. If we’re 10 percent off and they have a good day, we’re in trouble.””Everyone’s fit and healthy and ready to go. The six days we had in Bangladesh were really good in terms of preparation for the tournament. We were quite buoyed by our performance against Pakistan, and excited about what’s to come.”It was a frustrating two or three weeks in Australia, with some key performers injured at the wrong time, and not playing smart cricket. So it was reassuring to play the way we did against Pakistan.”The pitch at Jamtha has usually been terrific for batting and Strauss said that a final call on the XI would only be made on Tuesday morning. “It looks like a very good wicket,” he said. “We’ll need to see it tomorrow before we can gauge how much it’s going to turn or otherwise.”Selection should be fairly straightforward, with Ravi Bopara, Michael Yardy and Swann tussling for two spots. With a match against India to come on Sunday, it would be surprising if Swann didn’t play.India and Sri Lanka, two of the pre-tournament favourites, opened up with thumping victories, but Strauss was adamant that there was no pressure on his side to keep up with the subcontinent’s Joneses. “We’re not playing against India,” he said. “We’re playing against Holland and we need to win. How we win isn’t as important as just winning.”

No início da temporada, o volante Liziero percorria os campos do interior de São Paulo, na Copinha, na tentativa de realizar seu sonho de ser jogador profissional. Três meses depois, o garoto, de 20 anos, entrava em campo na estreia do Tricolor na Copa Sul-Americana, contra o Rosario Central, na Argentina, e com 40 mil vozes o pressionando. A drástica mudança de realidade poderia surtir efeito negativo no meio-campista, mas a postura do jovem jogador é oposta e tem agradado bastante aos torcedores.

Em oito jogos pelo profissional do São Paulo (três deles saindo do banco de reservas), Liziero demonstra personalidade com a camisa do clube do Morumbi. Atualmente, o volante é titular absoluto no esquema montado por Diego Aguirre. O jogador é elogiado por sua segurança com a bola nos pés, técnica e capacidade em recompor o meio de campo e proteger os zagueiros. Até aqui, são 214 passes certos, 16 desarmes e nem um cartão sequer.

Diante do retrospecto positivo, o jogador atribui o bom momento ao restante do elenco. De acordo com o tímido garoto de Cotia, os jogadores do profissional o receberam muito bem no CT da Barra Funda e lhe deram totais condições de desempenhar o seu trabalho da melhor forma possível.

-O importante é que todo mundo está me dando confiança. Me sinto confiante jogando pelo São Paulo. O importante é que tudo se mantenha – disse o jogador no estádio Gigante de Arroyito, logo após o empate sem gols diante do Rosário Central, na estreia tricolor na Copa Sul-Americana.

As boas atuações chamaram a atenção dos clubes europeus. O Bordeaux, da França, sondou o atleta, que tem contrato com o São Paulo até fevereiro de 2020. Por conta do interesse estrangeiro, a diretoria tricolor prepara uma gorda oferta de renovação para o garoto. Caso aceite a investida, Liziero pode quadruplicar seu salário e estender seu vínculo com a equipe que o revelou. Em meio a tudo isso, o jogador deixa a questão com seus representantes. Seu foco apenas em jogar futebol.

-Trabalhei bastante para chegar nesse nível. Procuro me manter focado nos treinos, nos conselhos dos meus companheiros e nos jogos. Tento deixar isso (renovação de contrato) com o meu empresário – afirmou o camisa 31 tricolor.

Após a decisão da Fifa de banir do futebol o ex-presidente da CBF Marco Polo Del Neto, Andrés Sanchez, presidente do Corinthians, se pronunciou sobre o assunto. Nesta sexta-feira, o dirigente disse que a punição a Del Nero, de quem é ferrenho opositor, faz mal ao futebol brasileiro e não acredita em mudanças.

Andrés e Del Nero trabalharam juntos na CBF entre 2011 e 2012, quando o presidente do Corinthians foi diretor de seleções.

-Vocês nunca falaram que eu fui o primeiro dirigente a pedir demissão da CBF. Fiquei 10 meses lá e não me enquadrei. É ruim essa decisão, ruim para o futebol brasileiro. Não desejo mal pra ninguém, ele tem órgãos para se defender. Espero que o futebol brasileiro mude o mais rápido possível. Eu não acredito muito, mas vamos aguardar – afirmou Andrés.

O dirigente corintiano também aproveitou para cutucar a situação política da CBF. Há duas semanas, a entidade elegeu Rogério Caboclo como sucessor de Del Nero, para assumir a partir de abril de 2019. No momento, quem comanda é o Coronel Nunes.

– Pela minha experiência no futebol, ele (Caboclo), não dura três meses. Quem manda é quem tem a caneta. Mas o Corinthians foi o único que foi lá votar contra. Eles deram um golpe no estatuto, e ninguém falou nada – provocou.

O presidente também falou sobre a posição do Corinthians daqui para a frente diante do novo cenário. Ele foi perguntado sobre a possibilidade de formação de uma liga entre os clubes brasileiros.

– Quando eu sai do Clube dos 13, vocês todos me criticaram, e era bem pior que a CBF. Agora vamos ver. Não é nem só questão de apito, marcar isso ou aquilo, tem calendário, sequência de jogos. Vamos ficar atentos. Eu não vou me enquadrar nisso, mas não vou nadar contra a maré. Aprendi que não se nada contra a maré sozinho – afirmou o corintiano.

The ball didn’t turn much on a slow pitch in Chittagong but Netherlands didn’t have the skill to handle the nagging line and length from the battery of Bangladesh’s left-arm spinners

The Bulletin by Sriram Veera14-Mar-2011
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsShafiul Islam’s tight but luckless opening spell set the tone for Bangladesh’s victory•Getty Images

The ball didn’t turn much on a slow pitch in Chittagong but Netherlands’ batsmen didn’t have the skill to handle the nagging line and length from the battery of Bangladesh’s left-arm spinners. They stabbed, plodded and meandered to 160 and Bangladesh wrapped up a six-wicket victory in a virtual must-win match. Shafiul Islam was luckless in a probing opening spell that read 6-3-7-0 but he was instrumental in strangling the Netherlands batsmen before the spinners tightened the screws further. The result escalated the pressure on England, who have to beat West Indies to stay in the World Cup.For a brief while, 6.5 overs to be precise, there was some fight in the chase but it evaporated as Imrul Kayes took control to push Bangladesh to victory in Chittagong. Bangladesh were on a wobbly 14 for 1, for the loss of Tamim Iqbal, in the seventh over but Junaid Siddique and Kayes broke free to force Netherlands out of the contest.The total was too meagre to defend and it was due their middling effort with the bat that Netherlands lost this game. Whenever they tried to take initiative, as Tom Cooper and Alexei Kervezee did, it proved just a mirage as they got out immediately. Whenever they tried to steal some quick runs, they got involved in run-outs. Cooper had struck Shakib Al Hasan for two fours in the 25th over but he got out in the next over, run out due to a misunderstanding with Eric Szwarczynski. He rushed across for a single after pushing to point but couldn’t get back in time despite a wide throw from Shakib. Mushfiqur Rahim collected and swiveled to flick a direct hit. Kervezee crashedSmart Stats

Abdur Razzak’s 3 for 29 is his third three-wicket haul in World Cups. He has been involved in three of the top five World Cup bowling performances for Bangladesh.

The 92-run stand between Imrul Kayes and Junaid Siddique is the highest for the second wicket for Bangladesh in World Cups. The previous highest was 73 between Tamim Iqbal and Siddique against India in the first game of the 2011 World Cup.

Kayes’ 73 is the second-highest score by a Bangladesh batsman in World Cups behind Mohammad Ashraful’s 87 against South Africa in 2007.

The win was Bangladesh’s fourth against a non Test-playing nation in World Cups. Overall, they have won 50 and lost 33 matches against non Test-playing teams (including Zimbabwe). Against Test-playing teams however, they have won 17 and lost 141 ODIs.

Netherlands’ score of 160 is their fourth score below 200 in the 2011 World Cup and their eighth such score in World Cups.

During the course of his half-century, Ryan ten Doeschate became the highest run getter for Netherlands in World Cups. He now has 329 runs at an average of 54.83.

Rubel Hossain for two fours in the 33rd over but fell in the next, stumped off the bowling of Suhrawadi Shuvo. To add to their woes, four batsmen ran themselves out on a day when nothing went right for the Associate team.Szwarczynski, the opener, dawdled for 68 balls but couldn’t convert the start into anything meaningful. Ryan ten Doeschate, dropped on 14 by Kayes, hung around for an unbeaten fifty but he lacked support. The innings lacked momentum from the start, after Shafiul’s inspired opening spell, and it went nowhere in the end.It will remain a mystery how Shafiul didn’t pick up a wicket. He darted the ball in, straightened it outside off, slipped in yorkers, tried faster and slower bouncers and didn’t bowl a bad ball. He harassed the openers with movement but the ball either thudded high on the pad or missed the edge. It was one of those days. The first run off him was scored only in the 18th delivery, when he tried a slower one. Netherlands promoted Mudassar Bukhari to pinch some quick runs but Shafiul put him in his place in the 11th over. Two yorkers jammed the bottom of the bat, a bouncer pinged the shoulder and a slower one beat the waft.Shafiul paved way for the spinners, Abdur Razzak, Shakib and Shuvo, who did what they normally do: hit a tight line and length, bowl a slew of dot balls, increase the pressure, and make the batsmen feel claustrophobic. Everything went according to their script.Netherlands had a brief moment of joy in the chase when Bukhari breached the defences of Tamim with a delivery that straightened in the first over. He continued to bowl with heart, showed some skill and even sledged. He went past Kayes’ bat a few times and gave lip to Siddique, but just when the contest looked interesting, Bangladesh broke free.It was the final ball of the seventh over and Siddique had just been sledged after Bukhari banged in a short delivery. Siddique responded with a flamboyant pull to collect a boundary and that was the moment that turned things around for Bangladesh. In the next over, he dragged the offspinner Adeel Raja, who opened with Bukhari and bowled a few tight overs, to the square-leg boundary. Soon Kayes, who was on 9 off 24 balls, pulled Raja for three runs and Bangladesh took control.Post that, Kayes took ownership of the chase and started to roll out the big shots: he slapped Raja through covers, slashed a full toss from ten Doeschate over point, and drove Peter Borren through cover for successive boundaries in the 17th over. Though Siddique and Shahriar Nafees, who made a fluent 37 in his first game of the tournament, fell and Shakib combusted on arrival, Kayes stayed to finish the job.Match Timeline

ESPNcricinfo previews the IPL match between Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders in Delhi

The Preview by Abhishek Purohit27-Apr-2011Match factsThursday, April 28, Delhi
Start time 2000 (1430 GMT)Gautam Gambhir will be returning home as a visitor•AFP

Big pictureDelhi Daredevils need some inspiration to lift themselves from the bottom of the table. They’ve even changed the nature of the insipid Feroz Shah Kotla pitch, transforming it from a low-and-slow surface to one with lots of live grass. The move brought them what could have been a morale-boosting win over Kings XI Punjab. The grass was, however, surprisingly trimmed for their next match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, a move that did not impress Virender Sehwag. The Delhi top order did not enjoy the surface, Bangalore’s did, and the visitors managed to scrape through in a tight chase. Delhi play three more games at the Kotla this season, and might as well make the most of home advantage by giving their captain the kind of wicket that he wants.After a five-day break, Kolkata Knight Riders return to the hit-and-travel IPL action for the first of five games in ten days. They couldn’t chase a modest total and couldn’t defend a substantial score in their previous two matches at home. In their defence, they ran in to Chris Gayle and had nowhere to hide. A game against struggling Delhi could not have come at a better time. Kolkata’s powerful batting line-up should enjoy the bouncier Kotla track much more than the one at Eden Gardens. Delhi have the better pace attack though, and Kolkata would be wary after what Ishant Sharma did to Kochi Tuskers Kerala on another helpful surface in Kochi.Form guide (most recent first)Delhi: LWLWL (last in points table)
Kolkata: LLWWW (fifth in points table)Team talkKolkata could make some changes given the pacy nature of the Delhi track. Brett Lee should walk in after being left out in place of Brad Haddin against Bangalore. Whether Kolkata go in with two left-arm spinners, Shakib Al Hasan and Iqbal Abdulla, would be interesting to see. They also have overseas options in Ryan ten Doeschate and Australian fast bowler James Pattinson.Delhi rotated their fast bowlers in the previous two games on the revitalised Kotla track. Ajit Agarkar and Varun Aaron made way for Umesh Yadav and Ashok Dinda against Bangalore. What combination will they play tomorrow?Predict the playing XIs for this match. Play ESPNcricinfo Team selector.In the spotlightMorne Morkel enjoyed the pace and bounce of the Kotla pitch, and it was he who brought Delhi back against Bangalore with two wickets in three balls. Even in the high-scoring match against Punjab, he had the best economy-rate on either side. He hasn’t received enough support, and will again have to carry the attack tomorrow if Delhi are to start some sort of revival.Gautam Gambhir, with more IPL runs than Sehwag, was not retained by Delhi, and became the most expensive purchase at the January auction, bought for a record $2.4 million by Kolkata. He was the first player on sale, and the bidding for him was so fierce that there were about 35-40 bids and counter-bids among the franchises. Delhi, however, did not bid even once. The snub will be somewhere on Gambhir’s mind when he leads Kolkata out tomorrow at his home ground, and he would want to show Delhi what they missed.Prime numbers Venugopal Rao has scored 190 runs in this IPL, the most for Delhi after David Warner
Delhi had the most ducks in an IPL innings, five, until Kochi got six against Deccan Chargers The chatter”They cut a lot of grass, which we didn’t want, but we have to carry on with whatever wicket we get.”
“I believe it is unfair to single out Rajat because I don’t think he has got decent enough opportunities where he could have made a difference. He is as valuable a player as others.”

A disputa da Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro anda acirrada. Dos quatro primeiros colocados, todos venceram as três partidas jogadas, entre eles o Paysandu, que fecha o grupo de acesso para a primeira divisão. No último sábado, o Papão bateu o Brasil de Pelotas pelo placar de 2 a 1 com os dois tentos marcados em quatro minutos.

A busca pelo bom resultado anima a torcida e o grupo, que mostra bom entrosamento dentro de campo. Titular da equipe desde 2017, o volante Nando Carandina destacou o empenho dos comandados de Dado Cavalcanti neste início de temporada.

– Nosso início de Série B tem sido muito bom. Isso tem dado confiança ao grupo para a sequência da temporada. Estamos provando que a equipe está no caminho certo. Já evoluímos bastante desde a primeira rodada da competição. Vamos lutar muito para melhorar nosso desempenho ainda mais na disputa – disse.

Depois de ficar apenas com o vice do Campeonato Paraense, o Paysandu quer deixar este resultado ruim de lado e focar no objetivo principal de 2018, que é garantir o time na Série A no próximo ano. De acordo com Nando Carandina, para alcançar o que almeja, o elenco alviceleste vai manter os pés no chão em busca de bons resultados.

– Nossa meta é brigar pelo acesso, sem dúvida, mas ainda temos um longo caminho a percorrer. O campeonato é longo, desgastante e muito equilibrado. Temos que ter regularidade para conquistar esse objetivo. Vamos manter os pés no chão e o foco total jogo a jogo – finalizou.

Pela Série B, o Paysandu tem um importante desafio pela frente. Nesta sexta-feira, a equipe viaja até o Maranhão, para enfrentar o Sampaio Corrêa às 19h15, no Estádio Castelão.

أكد المدير الفني لمنتخب مصر الأول، روي فيتوريا، أن النتائج هي ما تحدد مستقبله مع منتخب مصر وليس العقد الحالي الذي يستمر حتى يونيو 2026.

وتعاقد فيتوريا لتدريب منتخب مصر بعد رحيل، إيهاب جلال، بعد فترة تدريب قصيرة ولم يخض البرتغالي أي مباراة رسمية مع الفراعنة حتى الآن، حيث قاد الفريق أمام النيجر، ليبيريا وبلجيكا.

وأجرى فيتوريا حوارًا مع صحيفة “O Jogo” البرتغالية، وقال: “في كرة القدم، لا يوجد أي يقين على الإطلاق إذا كنا سنفي بالعقد، النتائج هي القاعدة، هذه هي الأهداف”.

وتابع: “عندما وصلت إلى مصر، أول شيء فعلته هو زيارة الأندية الموجودة في الدوري الممتاز لفهم الجوانب الإيجابية والمشاكل التي يشعر بها كل نادٍ، حتى نضع خطة للتطوير، يجب أن أشارك كمدرب للمنتخب في تطوير الأندية وليس الرغبة فقط”.

وأضاف: “لقد تحدثت مع البروفيسور، جيسوالدو فيريرا، (مدرب الزمالك) لديه خبرة هائلة، يعرف الكثير في مصر، لقد كان بطلًا للدوري في الموسم الماضي، تبادلنا الحديث معًا، لقد أعطاني عصارة خبرته في كرة القدم المصرية، عندما وصلت كان هناك ريكاردو سواريش أيضًا (مدرب الأهلي السابق) تحدثت معه أيضًا”.

وانتقل فيتوريا للحديث عن خروج البرتغال على يد المغرب من كأس العالم، وقال: “كرة القدم الآن أكثر توازنًا، لم يكن إقصاء البرتغال مفاجئًا، رغم أن كان لدينا مجموعة من اللاعبين المميزين ومن السيء عدم المضي قدمًا”.

وتابع: “من خلال خبرتي، عندما تكون في بطولة ذات مستوى عالٍ يجب ألا تحمل اللاعبين كمدرب أكثر من طاقاتهم، لأن هذا يؤثر على الأداء ويلهيهم عن هدفهم ولكن أرى أن فرناندو سانتوس قد قام بعمل رائع على مدار السنوات الماضية، حقق لقبين ولم يفعل أحد من قبله ذلك مع البرتغال”.

وعن انتقال رونالدو إلى النصر السعودي: “يبدو لي اليوم نادٍ مختلف عن الذي دربته من قبل، تنظيم أفضل، لكن على القول بأنه ليس نادٍ بحجمه، مقارنة بالأندية التي لعب فيها خلال السنوات الماضية، ربما تكون صفقة رائعة بالنسبة لمسئولي النصر والكرة السعودية، لأنه سيسلط الأضواء عليهما”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “لأن مسابقة الدوري السعودي ليست بنفس جودة الدوريات الأوروبية، لكنها خطوة تسويقية مميزة، لكنني لا أعرف ما إذا كان ستنجح أم لا، يجب أن ننتظر ونرى لأن هذا ما يثير فضولي”.

O Cruzeiro recebe o Sport, neste domingo, às 11h da manhã, pela 5ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Visando subir na tabela, a Raposa pode entrar no Mineirão com o desfalque de Romero e do meia Thiago Neves, um dos destaques do Cruzeiro na temporada.

Thiago Neves fora?

Thiago Neves não participou do treinamento desta última sexta-feira e fez apenas um trabalho interno, junto com os volantes Romero e Ariel Cabral. No treino de quinta-feira, o meia também foi poupado. Apesar de não ter nenhuma lesão apontada, Thiago Neves sente um incômodo da panturrilha direita. Contra o Sport, é possível que o jogador não comece entre os titulares.

Robinho ganha chance

Sem Thiago Neves, o meia Robinho ganha a chance no timte tiular. O jogador vai ter a oportunidade de jogar centralizado no meio campo. Robinho é o jogador do Cruzeiro que mais acerta passes no time cruzeirense, foram 155 passes certos nas últimas quatro partidas que participou. Com isso, a Raposa ganha na qualidade do passe no meio de campo, mantendo a qualidade da ligação do meio com o ataque.

Ataque de Libertadores no Brasileirão

Desde que chegou no Cruzeiro, o atacante Sassá não conseguiu se manter regular. Porém, o atacante tem feito bons jogos, principalmente na Libertadores. Nos últimos dois jogos da competição, marcou quatro gols. No Brasileirão ainda não marcou nenhum, reflexo da campanha do Cruzeiro, que venceu apenas uma partida nas quatro que disputou no torneio.

Provável escalação do Cruzeiro

No Sport, retorno de um ídolo

O Sport vai com poucas alterações para a partida contra o Cruzeiro. Magrão retorna ao Leão após desfalcar a equipe por um mês, por conta de uma cirurgia no joelho. Cláudio Winck, treinou separado durante a semana e é um possível desfalque. No seu lugar, a tendência é que o volante Fabrício seja improvisado na lateral direita.

Lancashire revived their hopes of qualifying for the Clydesdale Bank 40 semi-finals with a dramatic last-over win against Nottinghamshire at Old Trafford

22-May-2011
ScorecardLancashire revived their hopes of qualifying for the Clydesdale Bank 40 semi-finals with a dramatic last-over win against Nottinghamshire at Old Trafford.Chasing a revised target of 147 from 27 overs, Chris Read looked to be guiding the visitors to victory with a half-century as his side needed just 20 from the final four overs.But England bowler Sajid Mahmood returned with a stunning spell to claim two crucial wickets. Spinner Stephen Parry then took two more in the final over as the Lightning won by four runs on Duckworth/Lewis after bowling Nottinghamshire out for 142.After Lancashire made 145 for 8 from their 27 overs, Nottinghamshire started their reply badly.Mahmood struck with his third ball as he bowled Rikki Wessels for a duck. Hogg claimed the wicket of Akhil Patel, who was caught at point by Steven Croft without scoring.And Adam Voges became the third Outlaw to go for a duck when he edged Mahmood to wicketkeeper Gareth Cross. Hogg then bowled Ben Phillips, leaving Nottinghamshire 24 for four.Alistair Brown kept them in the game with 22 off 23 balls before he was bowled by Simon Kerrigan. Read and former Lancashire player Steven Mullaney looked to have put their side in control, putting on 48 for the sixth wicket.And even when Mullaney was caught by Luke Procter off Farveez Maharoof’s bowling for 22, the Outlaws needed just 46 to win from eight overs.But Mahmood changed the game. He returned to bowl a wicket maiden, with Sam Wood lofting him to Croft for eight. And in his next over he bowled Read for 59 to leave Nottinghamshire needing eight off the final over. Parry then had Paul Franks caught by Paul Horton and wrapped up the Lightning’s second win in five games by bowling Andre Adams off the penultimate ball.Earlier Croft’s 41 from 40 balls was the backbone of the Lightning innings. After rain reduced the game to 30 overs, Stephen Moore was first to go, caught by Wessels off Darren Pattinson for four.Franks then bowled Karl Brown for six before a heavy downpour reduced the game to 27 overs.Croft and Horton upped the rate after the break, putting on 50 in 52 balls. Wood, however, bowled Horton for 37 then trapped Maharoof lbw next ball.Adams returned to the attack to trap Croft lbw in the 20th over and two more wickets in successive balls saw Lancashire reduced to 125 for seven as first Mahmood was run out after a direct hit from Mullaney and then Cross was caught at backward point by Pattinson off Adams for 21. Procter was run out in the penultimate over for 5.
