The double strike earned Gough membership of the `100 club' as his
dismissal of Ravindu Shah and Maurice Odumbe made him only the third Englishman
to record a century of wickets in one-day internationals after Ian Botham and Phil DeFreitas.

Stewart, who won the toss for the second time in the tournament and put Kenya into bat, had watched his side struggle to break down the impressive Kenyans after Ian Austin had claimed an early wicket.
The England captain was forced to call upon the services of Gough ahead of schedule after Kenya's big hitter Steve Tikolo and
Shah celebrated their century partnership which included some splendid shots to put Kenya in the driving seat.
Instant reward for Gough
However Gough struck with the third delivery of his return with a typically devastating ball which clipped Shah's inside edge allowing Stewart to take a fine low catch as
the ball started to jag down leg side.

Shah departed for 46 from 80 balls and his successor, Odumbe, who received a painful blow on the hand from Gough, succumbed to the Yorkshireman's powers just eight balls later.
From 115 for three the Kenyan collapse began and they slipped to 130 for four after Neil Fairbrother's superb throw smashed the wickets leaving Hitesh Modi well short of the crease in his desperate efforts to claim a single run.
Kenya then suffered a quick loss of wickets and stuttered to a total of 203 all out with Gough claiming four wickets for 34 and Mark Ealham dismissing two wickets for 49.
Kenya's cavalier approach has left
England chasing a very achievable target and assuming the weather holds out the game should be completed on Tuesday.
