Match Notes

  • Pietersen's jinx revived?

    It was just Pietersen's luck that George Dockrell wasn't even meant to be bowling having only replaced the injured Hamid Hassan

  • England survive wobble to take victory

    England overcame another middle-order wobble to secure a three-wicket win against the ICC Combined XI in Dubai

  • Batsmen are rusty - Cook

    Alastair Cook admitted England's batsmen hadn't started their tour as they'd hoped but wasn't overly concerned despite an unconvincing display against an ICC Combined XI in Dubai

  • England's batsmen fail to impress in warm-up

    With the exception of Alastair Cook, England's batsmen failed to impress on the second day against the ICC Combined XI in Dubai

  • Broad happy with shoulder recovery

    Stuart Broad, the England fast bowler, has said he is satisfied with how his shoulder held up during his first day of competitive cricket in four months
