Kieswetter in good nick

LONDON: Craig Kieswetter top-scored with 61 as England made 229 for eight in the first One-Day International here at The Oval on Tuesday.

The match was reduced to 32 overs per side after a storm interrupted play for three hours when England had faced seven overs after being put in.

Kieswetter hit two sixes and four fours as he passed 50 in one-day internationals for the third time before holing out to the first ball of Suraj Randiv's second spell.

Eoin Morgan chipped in with 45 as Sanath Jayasuriya, in his final international match took the wicket of Ian Bell — his 190th in his 445th appearance since 1989. — AFP
