Captain Strauss leads the congratulations after Bopara dismisses the dangerous Darren Sammy for 41 from 29 balls and then wicketkeeper Thomas for 10, both out after chopping the ball onto their stumps

Russell carries on the attack and blasts three sixes and two fours before Tredwell gets him lbw to end his stunning knock on 49 - the highest score in the match
