Another defeat, sure - but I thought we could take a lot of positives from this match. The batting of Strauss, Bell, Collingwood and Dalrymple and the bowling of Broad and Lewis in particular. But I never want to see Sajid Mahmood play another ODI for England.
Shoaib Akhtar bowled superbly again to remind us how much closer the Test series would have been if he'd played.
