Colly wobbles as England struggle
Related Articles
29 January 2009
Collingwood was reprieved by Black Caps captain Daniel Vettori after carelessly wandering out of his crease, in the 11th over of England's 146 all out at the Wanderers.
Having been beaten by a brute of a delivery from Kyle Mills, Collingwood stepped two yards up the wicket to examine the spot it had landed and wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum under-armed the ball into the stumps in a flash.
Technically, Collingwood should have re-entered his ground before his spot of pitch gardening, and square-leg umpire Asad Rauf called for third umpire adjudication. As New Zealand prepared to start the next over, Collingwood ran to mid-off to shake hands with Vettori.
Andrew Strauss, Joe Denly and Owais Shah all perished inside the opening half a dozen overs after the New Zealanders won the toss.
That meant Eoin Morgan, who continued as England's emergency wicketkeeper with first-choice Matt Prior still suffering from a virus, and Collingwood were required to take stock.
Despite knuckling down to the situation, however, left-hander Morgan succumbed to Ian Butler's extra bounce, having scored nine off 40 balls. Collingwood, who cracked three sixes in a top score of 40, was also undone by extra lift as he miscued a pull off Grant Elliott to midwicket.
And Elliott trebled his return with the dismissals of Luke Wright and Stuart Broad in quick succession and when Graeme Swann provided McCullum with a skier, it sealed the South African-born all-rounder's best-ever figures in a one-day international.
The inconsistency in the surface then did for Ravi Bopara, whose stubborn 30, came to its conclusion when he was pinned on the pads by a grubber from Bond.
Only a last-wicket stand between Ryan Sidebottom, preferred to Graham Onions in an unforced change, and James Anderson shared 29 runs for the 10th wicket.
