    More bad news for England and Pope as he faces a lengthy absence due to injuring the same shoulder he previously dislocated. Wish him and Roy a speedy recovery.

    Worrying for Pope that an innocuous fall caused another serious injury. Unless he hides in the slips, it's impossible to field in the outfield without throwing yourself around these days

    He did land on it quite heavily.

    But the sort of fall that players would normally do several times a game

    Bairstow c&b 2

    3-1
  • Evening. 
    20/20 v Pakistan just started, Pakistan won toss and field. 
    England 3-1 off 1, Barton & Bairstow opening, Bairstow out in 1st over.
    Malan at number 3.

    Rather slow going. It must be difficult for players who haven't played for weeks to suddenly pick it up.

    You imagine that if Crawley had been out there he'd have scored a lot more freely as he's spent so much time in the middle
  • England 62-1 (9).

    Interesting revelation from Jimmy on TMS that Dom Bess was the sweatiest player, hence he got the ball shining duties!

    Banton has basically ended hales’ england career once and for all with that knock 
  • Is hales in the squad?

    Out in the cold, unlikely to be recalled, certainly when Morgan is captain

    Weather ok on Saturday when lots of people are at home with nothing to do. Why not put on a game of cricket for them to watch......

    I think the only thing that could have saved him is the “what if Roy or bairstow get injured?” Question, which has now been answered by banton. Why pick a 31 year old known trouble maker when you’ve got a 21 year old who’s just as destructive at the crease? No brainer

    5 years ago Hales stood out. Now dominant white ball strikers are everywhere, with young players all learning the trick shots and beefing themselves up to get more power

    They’d pick Billings over Hales. Plus Buttler can open in T20

    England won the toss & bowl.
    The game is on BBC1 as well as Sky Sports.

    Chris Jordon with a spot the ball contender.

    195 is a good score, but one England can chase

    Good that the first BBC game should be a decent contest

    Am glad more people can see it as on BBC. Bit switched to sky version once I realised (from CL)  it was on both

    Morgan is batting superbly.
    (Sorry if he gets out soon).

    I've mentioned a few times on CL how my other half gets fed up of how many times an ex Charlton player gets mentioned - when we are watching football. Imagine my delight that Derek Ufton got mentioned on the sky commentary!

    Why is Moeen ahead of Billings in the order?
