Joe Root believes the steady influence of head coach Trevor Bayliss will help England stay grounded when they face West Indies in the World T20 final in Kolkata on Sunday. England brought one of the least experienced squads to India but have improved throughout the tournament to earn their shot at glory. Bob Willis, Mark Butcher and Matt Prior assess how a hands-off approach from management has allowed England’s T20 players to flourish Their opponents at Eden Gardens will be familiar, with the West Indies having beaten them in the first match of the Super 10 stage. Confidence in the camp remains high and after recovering from difficult situations to win group games against South Africa, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, Baylisss side turned in a near perfect performance to defeat New Zealand in the semi-final.Regardless of the situation, the coachs emotionless face has helped his side keep calm in difficult circumstances and remain level-headed when things are going well.Trevor has been great throughout, said Root. Hes got an emotionless face, whether we feel like were in front of the game or feel massively behind it, you never get any sort of tension or emotion from him.You dream of these opportunities as a kid, to play a World Cup final, and every time over the past couple of days Ive looked round the dressing room or the lads on the bus, they have just been smiling. Rob Key and Nasser Hussain take a look at the pitch ahead of Englands ICC World T20 final against West Indies I think everyone is excited and cant wait to get out there on Sunday but it always feels like Trevor is very calm and relaxed about everything. Whether thats the case under the surface, Im not sure.Thats one thing thats really important in these tournaments, especially in the final, having that calm head in the dressing room that can bring you back down when you get too high or give you a lift if you need one.Yorkshire batsman Root has been hugely influential himself as England look to secure their second World T20 title, having claimed the 2010 prize in the West Indies.He scored a world-class 83 to inspire the sides record 230-run chase against South Africa, took a brilliant, decisive catch at the death against Sri Lanka and helped finish off New Zealand in partnership with Jos Buttler. Root is the second highest scorer in the World T20 from the Super 10 stage onwards Root is second only to Virat Kohli as the competitions leading run-scorer from the Super 10 stage onwards with 195 but he was keen to praise captain Eoin Morgans leadership.Morgan has struggled for form in India, averaging 15.25 in five innings, but he continues to set the overall tone for the team.I think Morgans captaincy has been fantastic across one-day cricket and T20 cricket, added Root. Weve chosen this way and approach, which has probably been a bit of a shift for us, and weve stuck to our guns. Thats a massive factor in how weve got here. The management have been very calm, a positive management that has supported Eoins view on how we need to go forward.Guys have gone out and been brave and played the way the captain has asked them to. Weve kept wanting to improve and when its gone wrong, weve not taken a step back, weve looked forward every time.A dream final from the perspective of the neutral fan would perhaps have seen the hosts playing in front of a sell-out crowd, but Root insists that has no bearing on how they will approach Sundays final. Rob Key provides a behind the scene tour of Eden Gardens, where England will face West Indies on Sunday in the World T20 final I dont think it matters, if you are going to win the World Cup you have to be the best team through the tournament, he said,If we are going to win we are going to have to beat the side that beat us already, otherwise we would have had to have beaten India on home soil, so its irrelevant who we play.Every game here so far has been rocking so lets hope it will be on Sunday.Watch England v West Indies in the T20 final on Sunday.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Mix Diskerud figures the whole honour of wearing No. 10 is only temporary. He fully expects to play alongside Landon Donovan again down the road with the U.S. national team. For one night at least, Diskerud did that jersey proud. Diskerud and Aron Johannsson, a pair of second-half substitutes raised in Scandinavia, scored to lift a heavy-legged United States over Azerbaijan 2-0 on Tuesday night in the first of three World Cup warmups for the Americans. "Its an honour. A lot of great players have been wearing that No. 10 for the U.S. previously," Diskerud said. "Ill enjoy it. When it comes to Landon, Im sure that were going to be playing together again someday, and of course he has more caps than me so Im just borrowing the uniform right now." The U.S. needed a boost from the bench after captain Clint Dempsey was scratched just before kickoff because of a sore left groin. But the 14th-ranked Americans had trouble breaking down No. 85 Azerbaijan. Diskerud, born in Oslo to a father from Norway and mother from Arizona who met in college, entered in the 71st and scored four minutes later off Brad Davis free kick. With the ball high in the box, Diskerud headed it down to Michael Bradley, whose shot was cleared off the goal line by Elvin Yunuszade. Diskerud then banged the ball in with a right-footed shot 6 yards for his third international goal. "It deflected, and then it was just an easy job for me to score," Diskerud said. "I got tackled exactly when I was going to shoot, and I was just laying down on the ground in agony." He was wearing the No. 10 freed up when Donovan was cut from the roster last Thursday. Johannsson, who was born in Mobile, Alabama, and moved to Iceland with his family when he was 3, entered in the 62nd and scored his second American goal in the 81st with an open header from the top of the 6-yard box off a corner kick by Davis, who replaced Graham Zusi at the start of the second half. "I think we can be very happy with this game," Johannsson said. "Weve been working ridiculously hard in training." Tim Howard, making his 98th international appearance, got his 53rd win to tie Kasey Kellers U.S. record. The Americans began their intense two-week training camp May 14 at nearby Stanford University, and there appeared to be tired legs. "It was exactly what we need at this point of our preparation after two fully loaded weeks," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "It was a tricky game. You want to open it up with a goal, and it gets easier. You want to score a bit earlier. Next up is a match Sunday against Turkey at Harrison, New Jersey, followed by a game with Nigeria six days later in Jacksonville, Florida. Then the Americans head to Brazil for their seventh straight World Cup appearance and first-round matches against Ghana, Portugal and Germany. "Its good to finally get going. Now we can play hard, recover, travel and go again,"t; Howard said.dddddddddddd"I thought it was good. I thought tonight was what we probably expected." The Americans arrived in a red-white-and-blue bus sporting the teams slogan: "One Nation. One Team." The focus was on Klinsmann, who made the controversial decision to cut Donovan, the American career scoring leader. Dempsey, slated to start up top with Jozy Altidore in a 4-4-2, was an unexpected absence. "We dont want to risk here anything," said Klinsmann, who estimated Dempsey would heal in two-to-three days. "Its not serious at all." Chris Wondolowski, a local fan favourite of the San Jose Earthquakes inserted in place of Dempsey, was stopped twice early by goalkeeper Kamran Aghayev, the first with a knee on a diving header in the fifth minute. Wondolowskis header off a cross from Alejandro Bedoya in the 15th was parried over the bar. "You have to be ready at a moments notice," Wondolowski said. "Thats why I was a bit disappointed not to find the back of the net. I had a couple of great opportunities that I need to find the corner and hit the back of the net." Azerbaijan, coached by U.S. team adviser Berti Vogts, was outscored 5-0 in a pair of World Cup qualifiers by Portugal. With wind whipping the corner flags early and even the ball out of place during restarts, a new-look U.S. defence was hardly tested. Fabian Johnson started at right back, with Matt Besler and Geoff Cameron as the central defenders, picked over Omar Gonzalez, who replaced Cameron in the second half. DaMarcus Beasley, looking to become the first American to appear in four World Cups, was at left back. Besler and Cameron played together in the middle once previously, against Jamaica in a World Cup qualifier last October. For the first time since 1990, the Americans have no central defenders with previous World Cup experience. Johnson started three games at left back last year but just once on the right -- in the clinching World Cup qualifier against Mexico in September. Klinsmann used a midfield diamond for the second straight game, with Michael Bradley at the top, Jermaine Jones deep, Zusi on the right and Bedoya the left. This match became the true final football game at Candlestick, former home of the NFL San Francisco 49ers through last season and baseballs San Francisco Giants until after 1999.
