PM’s XI vs England

All over. England won by 60 runs. Bell’s 187 the highlight, closely followed by Maxwell’s 136.

 

9:30 Plenty of space to spread out.

 

9:00 Night time. PM’s 11 need ten an over off the last 15 overs to chase down a
mammoth 391. Maxwell made a very entertaining 136 but out now.

 

5:00 In wide-angle. Looks like a cracka of a day for cricket! Stay cool, roving reporter

 

 

5:00 Ian Bell celebrates his hundred.

 

4:10   England and Ian Bell cruising. 1 for 155 off 24 overs. Some cloud providing nice shade.

 

4:00   England racing along here. None for 72 off 9 overs. Ali and Bell doing it easy.

 

2:20    Right on schedule. First Ball

2:00     The Prime Minister’s XI cricket match is on today at Manuka Oval, Canberra. The game usually gets a pretty good turnout, and also offers some of the most accurate weather predictions for the capital: It will either rain, or be 40C, or both.

The PM’s chosen XI will battle England superstars including Ian Bell and Stuart Broad.
