ICC Chmpions Trophy: England-Zimbabwe Opening Match to resume on Saturday MIL, Sep 10, 2004. Sports Correspondent Birmingham - Inexperienced Zimbabwe Team led by Tatenda Taibu kept a rampaging England under check in the rain-washed-out opening match of Group D match of the ICC Champions Trophy. Under overcast conditions, Taibu put England into batting. England were off to a good start before some disciplined bowling pegged them back to 198 for five in 38 overs when heavy drizzles forced suspension of play. The match began three and a half hours behind the scheduled time due to morning rains and ended an hour and half before cut off time. With provision for reserve days, there was no reduction in the number of overs for each side and play will continue tomorrow from where it halted. World one-day player of the year Andrew Flintoff fell cheaply, caught by Douglas Hondo after getting underneath a heave to long off. Hondo had first removed Marcus Trescothick for 10 when the opener played away from his body and edged a catch to Brendan Taylor at slip. The impressive Edward Rainsford then tempted Michael Vaughan (17) to edge a drive to Mark Vermeulen, and he grabbed his second wicket when captain and wicketkeeper Tatenda Taibu took a superb one-handed diving catch to dismiss Andrew Strauss for 25. Vikram Solanki made 62 off 81 balls with 10 fours. Paul Collingwood on 35 and Geraint Jones on 23 were at the crease when covers came on. Score Board
