After a dreadful run, England are actually having some fun this summer, having beaten New Zealand two matches in a row by turning on the style in the final innings. In the 2nd test, they came back having conceded over 500 first innings runs, powering to victory with some rampant hitting on a flat pitch. There's still one match to play, but the series is England's, and my world ratings now look like this (a third win and England would overtake their visitors):
- India 241
- Australia 232
- South Africa 173
- New Zealand 143 -21
- England 115 +21
- Pakistan 111
- Sri Lanka 44
- West Indies -9
- Bangladesh -128
- Zimbabwe -280
- Afghanistan -303
- Ireland -339
