       The other news is that Lara is in hospital for hepatitis tests,
        lets hope all is ok
       I feel Kenya will be satisfied with their performance and looking
        forward to their match against South Africa
       Lara for his century under duress from ill-health is the Man of the
        Match
       We hope you will be here tomorrow for the next match when England
        take on Zimbabwe, starting 08:30GMT
