Finland set the most extraordinary field for the first ball of their European Cricket Championship game against England, employing not one, not two, but eight slip fielders in the T10 game. England ended up posting a sizeable total, hitting 113/4 off their 10 overs, making the early field placings even more bizarre. Finland fell short of the total despite making a decent fist of it, ending their ten 99/6 as England recovered from a shock loss to Italy on Wednesday.
