England tactically beat india in their match at lord's which was exposed by the west indies......It was almost like playing in india as english fans were out numbered by the indians and the englishmen were boo'ed on their home country at the mecca of cricket..after put into bat by dhoni england lost luke wright early but pieterson ensured no more damage was caused as he and bopara build the innings..ravindra jadeja bowled with maturity and kept them under check by picking up pieterson,bopara at crucial times......but ishant was poor as he leaked too many runs which meant england reached a defendable 153 in 20 overs..THE indians made a shocking start as rohit and raina were tactically bounced out by sidebottom..the middle overs were too dry that jadeja and gambhir struggled to maintain the pace...once they went yuvraj arrived and started smashing from the first ball...but a brilliant stumping by foster ,probably the biggest of his carrer ended yuvrajs knock and narrowed indias chances..dhoni and yusuf pathan played brilliantly and took it very close but they left themselves too much to do in the final over..it was heart breaking as a fan to see your team getting knocked out before the semis ,when they were the favourites to win..
