There was a purpose to everything English boys did on field today. 2-0 behind in the series, they had to win all the remaining three matches to win the series and they made the perfect start here at Auckland. New Zealand did well to go past 200 mark & chase should'nt have been easy for English boys but Pietersen-Bell partnership set up the things.. then, captain Collingwood added 70 not out runs to his already 3 wickets in the match.. no wonder he was also the man of this match.
