and they're probably favourites of the tournaments going in from the t20 as before. i think the island and sometimes, you can become a little bit comfortable and i think losing to ireland was probably kick—starting england tournament and probably a bit behind in terms of bowlers getting plenty of overs and gametime under the belt but after the island match, i don't think ever looked back since then. they've been absently outstanding and i've enjoyed watching them. i think the bowling unit has been wonderful and everyone's contributed and in the tournaments, everyone needs to be firing the quite clearly done that in this tournament. to firing the quite clearly done that in this tournament.— firing the quite clearly done that in this tournament. to have that mentality. _ in this tournament. to have that mentality, this _ in this tournament. to have that mentality, this been _ in this tournament. to have that mentality, this been many - in this tournament. to have that mentality, this been many and l mentality, this been many and occasionally spoke about the england cricket team and their failures. as the sun and the bbc today, there lack of smarts but it seems to me that after the ireland game in the

the cloud and the occasion and make the cloud and the occasion and make the game of it. it could've been interesting and another 20 runs but england have been the best team in this tournament and they've gone on to win it comfortably and i'm really pleased for the whole side. they've been amazing. ii pleased for the whole side. they've been amazing-— been amazing. if you tried that “ourne been amazing. if you tried that journey in _ been amazing. if you tried that journey in the _ been amazing. if you tried that journey in the final— been amazing. if you tried that journey in the final 2016 - been amazing. if you tried that journey in the final 2016 letter| been amazing. if you tried that i journey in the final 2016 letter for delivery and smashed a six by him give the west indies the victory. it is devastating for him at the time in the incident much talked about outside of bristol nightclub that lead to disciplinary action. he has been there at the end of the 20 in the world cup win, and i appreciate that this is been talked about in an amazon documentary, but it is spend extraordinary strength for him in particular. it’s extraordinary strength for him in articular. �* . ., ., extraordinary strength for him in articular. �* , . . �* , extraordinary strength for him in articular. �*, . . �*, ., particular. it's amazing. it's a bo hood particular. it's amazing. it's a boyhood dream _ particular. it's amazing. it's a boyhood dream story, - particular. it's amazing. it's a boyhood dream story, isn't i particular. it's amazing. it's a| boyhood dream story, isn't it. particular. it's amazing. it's a i boyhood dream story, isn't it. it is something that she read many books. redemption and i think secondly, we

all have highs and lows working in life it is many ups and downs, there's lots of negatives and positives and i think the 20 world cup is highlighting how much has improved and matured and learning from mistakes and what a story, if you want someone with a calm influence some of the place of a pressure, no panic in mexico right to the team, it is been stokes. and thinking and thoughtful and no panic and knows what he's doing under huge pressure and seeing england over the line once again. it pressure and seeing england over the line once again-— line once again. it might be one that we talk— line once again. it might be one that we talk about _ line once again. it might be one that we talk about for _ line once again. it might be one that we talk about for a - line once again. it might be one that we talk about for a long i line once again. it might be one i that we talk about for a long time. but this current dynasty might be even better. thank you very much. so, that's it. the premier league

the championship has also started its break, for them its four weeks, and there's a new leader heading into it after burnley�*s win over blackburn in the east lancashire derby. they started the day level on points with sheffield united and beat their rivals comfortably. 3—nil thanks to ashley barnes�* two goals, his first in the league this season. blackburn could have gone top themselves with a win, but stay third. at one stage scotland�*s advantage was nine points over new zealand. but they couldn�*t hold on to register a first win against the all blacks, beaten 31—23 at murrayfield in their autumn international. joe lynskey has the story. one guest at marie field is a welcome for every player. five years of his charity with his sons and the match ball. he is a giant figure and a rugby history that is seen in scotland never beat new zealand.
