Aus keep Eng in check

Jason Gillespie returned to form by helping Australia restrict England to 228 for seven at The Oval on Tuesday and leave the world champions perfectly placed to win the NatWest Challenge one-day series decider.
Gillespie took three for 44 including the wicket of Kevin Pietersen who top-scored with 74 off 84 balls.
England, put in by Australia, lost five wickets for 49 runs to slump to 93 for six before Pietersen linked with 'supersub' Vikram Solanki in a 93-run stand for the seventh wicket.
The home side had been in such disarray that captain Michael Vaughan was forced to sacrifice opening bowler Simon Jones -named in the starting 11 -- and call on Solanki to try and post a decent total.
Solanki finished on 53 not out from 63 deliveries as 80 runs came off the last 10 overs. Pietersen boosted his hopes of Ashes selection in hitting two sixes and seven fours.
The three-match one-day series stands at 1-1 and the first Ashes Test starts on July 21.
Australia, as they had done in the previous game at Lord's, took an immediate stranglehold. While Glenn McGrath bottled up one end, Brett Lee broke through when Marcus Trescothick, yet to score, threw away his wicket with a lazy uppercut to third man.
The world champions then produced two extraordinary lapses. McGrath had reeled off four maidens when Vaughan top-edged a pull which skied to fine leg, only for Gillespie inexplicably to grass the ball.
That should have made it 22 to two and it could have been 28 for three in the 11th over when Andrew Strauss top-edged another pull, this time off Michael Kasprowicz, only for Adam Gilchrist, running back, to let the ball slip through his gloves.
It did not matter much. Vaughan, after a couple of perfect cover drives, called for a run from the nonstriker's end and Ricky Ponting ran him out for 15 with a direct hit.
Strauss fed off Kasprowicz with a string of cuts for four but, on 36, he edged the same bowler behind to make it 61 for three. Andrew Flintoff
came and went in the same fashion and Paul Collingwood also did not hang around, a leading edge off Gillespie pouched at cover by
Andrew Symonds.
When Geraint Jones gave
Gillespie a second wicket in 10
deliveries, flat-batting a catch to wide third man, England were in
such a mess that they opted to bring on 12th man Solanki.
Pietersen, on 40, survived a onehanded catch as he launched a six off Michael Clarke's left-arm spin.
Kasprowicz jumped up, took the ball way above his head and fell over the boundary rope at long on.
