a wild swing, an edge down to third man, one easy run, but Shah collected cleanly, sent in the return, and England sneak home by one run!

Well, if England needed to practice their pressure situations, they've just done so. Harmison kept his cool at the death, however, and Trinidad have been pipped in a cliffhanger. Three wickets for Andrew Flintoff, who recovered from an uncharacteristically wayward first over, although there is some concern about his fitness. "He's not too well at the moment, but I'm sure he won't be missing the bus on Saturday," says Kevin Pietersen.
Paul Collingwood produced an exceptional spell as well, but it was mighty close. More of that sort of action on Saturday, and this will all have been worthwhile. I'm Andrew Miller, join me again on Thursday when the Superstars take on Middlesex in the final warm-up fixture.

After a static start, this tournament is alive. And it's only a friendly! No ties in this competition. If the scores are level, we go to a "Super Over" ...

Flintoff to Rampaul, no run
nicked, low, and Prior does well with a tumbling stop. A good spell for Flintoff, but he's leaving the field again ...

Flintoff to Kelly, OUT
full and straight, from round the wicket, and that's plumb. An important wicket, but is Flintoff struggling a little bit? He doesn't look a million dollars right now ...

Harmison to Ramdin, OUT
unnecessary, and that's a big blow. Ramdin walked across his stumps, tried to paddle over fine leg, and lobbed a simple chance to Shah inside the circle at fine leg
