Scorecard
Kevin Pietersen made 66 in his new opening position, England v Pakistan World Cup warm-up match, Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium, Fatullah, February 18, 2011
Kevin Pietersen showed he was happy at the top of the order with a timely half-century

Paul Collingwood made a timely impact with a matchwinning allround display and Stuart Broad continued his impressive World Cup build-up as England produced a convincing display to beat Pakistan by 67 runs in their final warm-up game. The batting, led by Kevin Pietersen's 66, posted a strong 273 on a slow surface before Broad blew away Pakistan's top order, then returned to mop up the tail. Collingwood, whose offcutters could prove invaluable as the tournament wears on, chipped in with 3 for 48.
After the embarrassment of their near-defeat against Canada on Wednesday, England's efforts were much more confident second-time around, as they resumed their rivalry with the Pakistan side whom they edged out 3-2 in an emotional home series last September, which came in the wake of the spot-fixing scandal at Lord's. Pakistan, though, have never been a side to excel in matches without much meaning and opted not to utilise Shahid Afridi and Abdul Razzaq.

India 214 (Sehwag 54, Lee 3-35) v Australia
Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details
A massive crowd befitting an actual World Cup game had turned up to cheer India on at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, but even the booming music and the frequent bugle calls failed to lift them, as the home side's batting flopped in the high-profile warm-up match against Australia, who gave another demonstration of how dangerous a side they are, John Hastings, providing two significant breakthroughs.
