Eoin Morgan could find few flaws in Englands performance after they secured a
place in the World Twenty20 final with a seven-wicket win over New Zealand.
Eric Dier England Jersey . Ben Stokes and
Chris Jordan impressed with the ball before handing over to Jason Roy, whose
innings of 78 was worthy of man-of-the-match honours and took England close to
their target of 154 for victory.Morgan, who was the victim of a first-ball
dismissal, sat with a huge smile on his face as Jos Buttler saw England over the
line with some lusty hitting, victory being secured with 17 balls to spare. I
dont think (it could have gone any better), Morgan told Sky Sports.Maybe we
could have started a little better with the ball, but I thought we did really
well to peg it back after the first six or seven overs. Having played on this
wicket before, its harder to start than most. So continuing to take wickets
throughout the back end of their innings helped us a huge amount.Its the kind of
thing you dream of as a kid. Everybody in that changing room has worked
tremendously hard and made a lot of sacrifices in order to put us in this
position.Roy got Englands reply off to a flying start with four boundaries in
the first over, bowled by Corey Anderson, and he appeared to be closing on a
maiden T20 international century when a delivery from Ish Sodhi kept low and
bowled him. Roy found the boundary with regularity in a superb innings of 78 He
said: I just felt it was a chance to go out there on a decent wicket and get off
to a great start. It can be a bit of a dangerous total, so I gave it a good
crack and it came off.The whole team has got that licence and opportunity to go
out there and do what they want and be free with their skills. Kumar Sangakkara
and Michael Atherton discuss Englands semi-final win over New Zealand and the
performance of Roy Its something that were really buzzing for, its going to be
an incredible experience and we cant wait. Its mind blowing. There is no better
feeling, the joy on everyones faces was special and something that will stay
very close to my heart for the rest of my career. Also See: Roy helps England

Kory Sheets may need to borrow Geroy Simons cape. After the Roughriders tailback
put Saskatchewan ahead for good on a three-yard touchdown run in the fourth
quarter, he celebrated by striking his teammates familiar Superman pose in the
end zone. Sheets finished the game with a career-high 133 yards on 26 carries as
the Roughriders (2-0) became the only unbeaten team in the CFL with a 36-21 win
over the Calgary Stampeders (1-1) at Mosaic Stadium. Simon, the Roughriders
much-hyped off-season acquisition, missed his second straight game with an
injured leg. "I was just doing that as a tribute to my man," said Sheets. "I
told him, Hey, Im going to draw the box and hit the Superman pose if I score."
Sheets stated in the lead-up to the game that he felt he was already the best
running back in the game, despite having finished nearly 200 yards back of
Calgarys Jon Cornish, the league leader with 1,457 in 2012. He let his play do
the talking Friday, even after Cornish was held to 42 yards on eight carries.
"Were going to see them two more times and possibly three more times in the
playoffs, and its a long season so Im not going to say Im happy about doing
better than him tonight because he could do better than me next time," said
Sheets, who never went for more than 18 yards on a single rush. Sheets had
plenty of help, most notably from slotback Weston Dressler who topped all Riders
receivers with an effort that began on Saskatchewans opening drive when he
caught three passes for 33 yards. Dressler caught a bullet over the middle from
quarterback Darian Durant for a 28-yard touchdown in the second quarter and drew
a 31-yard pass interference penalty on Calgary linebacker Jonathan Hefney in the
fourth quarter that set up Sheets go-ahead score. "Weve got plenty of guys that
can make plays so youve just got to be ready for when your opportunity comes,"
said Dressler, who finished with 10 catches for 108 yards. "Whether its two,
three times a game or nine, 10 times a game youve got to be ready for it and
youve got to come through when the ball comes your way." It was a tough game for
Hefney who was burned earlier in the game with the Stampeders leading 14-11.
Saskatchewan slotback Chris Getzlaf outran Hefney for a 32-yard reception in the
second quarter and overwhelmed him again on the next play for another nine
yards. That led to a 36-yard field goal from Chris Milo, his second of four in
the game. Milo also connected fromm 15, 38 and 29 yards.
Kieran Gibbs England Jersey. "When our
offensive line is playing as good as they are, youre getting holes, Kory Sheets
is running the ball, when all that is going well it makes it really hard to
cover the pass game because the (line)backers have to be involved," said
Getzlaf. "They have to respect the run game." The seven-year veteran added a
15-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter that put the Riders up 35-21.
Getzlaf finished with eight catches for 97 yards. "Hes a guy that I hope that
has a very good season," said Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin. "I think he
deserves it. "Hes taken a lot of criticism here and there and some of its
warranted but at the end of the day hes a guy that I want to see turn into an
all-star superstar in this league because hes got the potential to do that."
Stampeders quarterback Drew Tate was deadly accurate for most of the game,
completing 19-of-25 passes for 231 yards before giving way to Kevin Glenn with
five minutes to play. Tate tossed second-quarter touchdowns to Rob Cote and Joe
West, and Marquay McDaniel ran in from seven yards out on the games opening
drive, as Calgary built a 21-14 lead by halftime. But things came unravelled in
the second half. The Stamps were forced to punt on four straight offensive
possessions and took a trio of defensive penalties in the fourth quarter that
either extended Saskatchewan drives or led directly to Roughriders touchdowns.
The Hefney pass interference call was followed by a too-many-men penalty and an
unnecessary roughness flag, both of which gave the Riders a fresh set of downs.
"We added some veterans and theyre a little bit more mature," said Chamblin. "I
think those guys finished and they never panicked when they were down. "They
understand that its about 60 minutes in the CFL and they understand the ups and
downs of it." Durant played the entire game for Saskatchewan, going 26-for-34
for 258 yards. Glenn went 4-for-7 for 41 yards in relief of Tate and threw an
interception to Macho Harris on the final play of the game. Both teams will meet
East Division rivals for the first time in Week 3, with the Roughriders in
Toronto on Thursday to face the Argonauts and the Stampeders in Montreal on
Friday to face the Alouettes. Before the game, the Roughriders honoured four
alumni who passed away during the off-season: Jack Gotta, Bryan Illerbrun, Grey
Cup-winning coach Eagle Keys and Len Legault.
