Neither coach or captain will acknowledge it, but both teams seem to have run into rough weather. South Africa have once again been bundled out for under 200 and this time, by a below-strength Pakistan bowling attack. Sure the track is said to be tricky, but SA will worry.

Sri Lanka is playing New Zealand and has given away 285 runs. Not too long ago, Arjuna Ranatunga was waxing eloquent about how Lasith Malinga could be the star and Chaminda Vaas is the stalwart. Cough Cough! New Zealand, though, seems to have found some of their batting form which had deserted them in the last match. Let’s hope they can maintain it.

Australia is lording over England once again. And with just 200 to chase, they may well be runaway winners. But, England was also going well at one stage before a collapse ruined their day. They lost 9/85. It’s still better than losing all 10 for 85 though!
