Well not relax: Collingwood
DH News Service, Manchester:
Despite going 3-1 up in the seven match series, England captain Paul Collingwood said that his team would not relax in the remaining matches.


"We're in a nice position, 3-1 up. But we need to start again, start afresh. We had a hiccup in this game, but we won. I think if we're going to be really ruthless, start again and hopefully, play our best cricket from now on we can make this effort count," Collingwood said.
The three-wicket win on Thursday, Collingwood said, had helped to bring out the character of the team members. "I think you have to go through these kind of situations along the way. You sometimes see the characters of people. Today we've seen two characters, Broad and Bopara, who have done exceptionally well. You learn a lot from these kind of experiences. These guys have turned the game around," he said.
However, at 114 for seven, Collingwood said it was a pressure cooker situation. "We came in the half-time and thought we'd won it but seven down in 25 overs, you think you've blown it. But Broad and Bopara knew the scoring areas and went about the job in a mature way. India were coming hard at us and ten runs to go they had looked so calm and collected," he said.
Meanwhile, man of the match, Stuart Broad, who took four wickets and played a crucial innings of unbeaten 45, said he and Ravi Bopara kept the things simple during their match-winning 99-run partnership. 
"Ravi kept talking to me and we kept egging each other on. We had plenty of time to bat, there wasn't any scoreboard pressure. We just kept it simple and went down in tens. We got 30-35 and said, 'this is not many runs, keep playing.' We don't need to chase the game. The boundaries will come," he said.
Broad was also satisfied with his effort with the ball. "It was great to get four wickets, but more pleasing to win the game. We are bowling with a lot of confidence as a unit. The way Fred (Andrew Flintoff) and Jim (Anderson) bowled in the second Power Play was fantastic. There's always room for improvement and we'll make sure we improve by Sunday," he said.
