England secured a 112-run World Cup victory over Pakistan in the day-nighter at Newlands. James Anderson struck twice in an over on two occasions as Pakistan's chase of 247 under lights was blacked out.
In a contest which could be crucial in deciding which sides progress from Pool A of the World Cup, Anderson, 20, bowled his team to victory with figures of 10-2-29-4.
England captain Nasser Hussain paid tribute to Andrew Caddick and Anderson after the win. He said: “I'm very pleased. To see all these British people here supporting us was magnificent. The opening spell from the young lad (Anderson) and the old man (Caddick) was excellent. There was no looseness, it was spot on and it was a very good performance today.”
Hussain also singled out Collingwood for praise, adding: “He's proving to be a very good player and he's a finisher, which we haven't had for while.”
