England v Zimbabwe

[Titanic]

Finally gets underway. The first over is fantastic!!!!

End of over 1 (7 runs) England 7/0 (RR: 7.00)
T Panyangara 1-0-7-0 (7w) - City End
VS Solanki 0* (0b) ME Trescothick 0* (6b)

   0.6 Panyangara to Trescothick, no run, defends a ball just outside off
        to gully
   0.5 Panyangara to Trescothick, no run, left alone outside off
       Trescothick has not scored, still on nought while his team score is
        7
   0.4 Panyangara to Trescothick, no run, on the off stump and good
        bounce, gets the splice on the way to gully - finally the bat was
        involved
   0.3 Panyangara to Trescothick, no run, outside off and left aloner
   0.3 Panyangara to Trescothick, wide: no run, another and Taibu claps
        and encourages him
   0.3 Panyangara to Trescothick, wide: no run, it seems we will be in for
        a flood of wides and the bowler is really not being helped by
        anyone to reduce calm his nerves but Taibu is trying
   0.3 Panyangara to Trescothick, wide: no run, and another
   0.3 Panyangara to Trescothick, wide: no run, oh dear, this is one
        outside off
   0.2 Panyangara to Trescothick, no run, outside off and left alone
   0.2 Panyangara to Trescothick, wide: no run, and another wide
   0.1 Panyangara to Trescothick, no run, a full ball that swings away to
        the off and its left alone
   0.1 Panyangara to Trescothick, wide: no run, well outside off and
        signalled
   0.1 Panyangara to Trescothick, wide: no run, way outside off

       The wicket is expected to seam a bit and if one wins the toss the
        other team ought to be invited to bat and thats what Tatenda Taibu
        did
       The teams are being presented and play will start soon
       The England openers, Trescothick and Solanki out now
       Panyangara will open the bowling for Zimbabwe and it is very dark
        and overcast out there
       Trescothick has strike
