    Lions are 157-2. Both wickets to Carse. Bashir, who has also switched sides, is once again on the receiving end with figures of 0-66 off 9 overs. He went for 22 in one over.

    One opener to look out for in the future is Ben McKinney - has impressed at Durham and hit 68 & 66 in this match. Bethell currently on 55* and Cox 51*.

    Carse gets Cox for his third wicket and Bashir takes the scalp of Bethell for 229-4

    Massive news - Hazlewood has joined Cummins  and Abbott in  missing the First Test through injury. Neser has been added to their squad.
    Was just coming on to say this. Nesser added to the squad but Doggett expected to play.

    Although Hazlewood joining Cummins and Abbott is great news, we have to hope that none of the Tests prove to be bunsen burners. As things stand, we don't have a spinner and to compound things, any thoughts that we might call up Rehan Ahmed from the Lions has been dashed as he is being sent home - injured!!!

    Despite all of that, we will never get a better chance to go one up in Australia. Let's hope we take it.

    Pope, the man in form, out for 90 to go with his 100 in the first innings. Root made 31.

    England won by 5 wickets. Brook made 19 with Stokes 15* (38) and a late thrash from Smith of 39* (22)

    So, I think we've discovered three things from this game - Pope has cemented his place at number 3 in fighting Bethell off for that spot, Wood, with just 8 overs for his first game in 9 months isn't fit enough to play and Bashir hasn't done enough to justify a place in the side even if the intention was to play a spinner. 

    All this makes the team likely to look like this:

    Crawley
    Duckett
    Pope
    Root
    Brook
    Stokes
    Smith
    Carse
    Atkinson
    Tongue
    Archer
