Thank heavens for that. Now Jordan can come in and hit it about - had enough of this SCRATCHING around.

Does anyone know what Finn's one day form is like, is he in the side on merit, or is it a case of the powers that be thinking that if we give him a run in the 50 over side he might make a test match bowler again!

By the way is McCullums decision to field on a par with Nassers Gabba decision back in 2002??

 

[Postman Pat]

Will our bowlers and field placings be as aggressive/inventive as the batsmen?

This is England, they may knock this run chase off in 45 overs yet

 

[Titanic]

393-7 (49 overs)

Highest ever ODI score for England

Amazing

 

[inland seagull]

I would have liked to seen David Willey play instead of Sam Billings, we look a bit short of back up bowling in the event Rashid takes some tap!

 

[Titanic]

16-1 (2 overs)

400 anyone??

England 400-9 (49.4 overs)
