Collingwoods figures of 6 for 31 were good enough to remove Mark Ealham from the top of the best bowling performances list (see list )for England.
Chris Tremlett's figures of 4 for 32 are the second best figures by an England bowler in his debut match after Adam Hollioakes 4 for 23 against Pakistan at Edgbaston on August 31,1996. Tremlett joined six other Englishmen taking four wickets in their debut match. The details:
