Adjustment in rain reduced games
We're now all familiar with Duckworth Lewis rules even if we lack the mathematical brains to work them out and adjustments to the number of overs after rain interruptions that each bowler may bowl and in the length of 'power plays'. But why did they have to have a new ball after 14 overs last night as opposed to the usual 34 - it won't have got dirty any faster. Bet Bopara was pleased too-he got out to the first delivery with the new one.

I think you will find that it was something to do with the fact that Bopara had just smacked the previous one out of the ground - I'm no expert mind....
Anonymous is right. Bopara sent one high onto the roof of the Hall Griffiths stand and it wasn't seen again. It was just coincidence that it was at the point that seemed to be 2/3rds into the innings.
It was great to see England hit some sixes finally. I saw a stat that had WI hitting something like 25 sixes to England's 1 before England batted yesterday.
