England Win!

'Thanks. Now let go...'

Second Test, Old Trafford (day four)
England 202 & 294-4 beat New Zealand 381 & 114 by six wickets

So let's get this straight. England won...
Bang on big man...

What's with the 'big man'?
Nothing...

You're having a pop aren't you?
No, I'm not...

Tell me the truth. Have I put on weight?
Well... Hey! What about that Andy Strauss?

What about him?
Only his 12th Test century and an innings that set the hosts up for a comfortable win.

Good on him. Go on...
England resumed on 76-1 chasing 294 and cantered home, with every one chipping in in support of Strauss's anchor role, most notably Vaughan (48) and Pietersen (42). Interestingly, England have now chased more than 280 four times since 1997 to win against New Zealand.

I saw Pietersen in the Observer Food Monthly yesterday...
Me too. The dolt.

So who bagged the Man of the Match then?
Yesterday's spin hero, Monty Panesar.

And where now?
England and the tourists head on to Trent Bridge for the Third Test on June 5. You, meanwhile, can go to Weightwatchers.
