Have you seen what Luke Wright is doing to the Banglasdeshis?

He's mashing them around with 61* off 26 balls.

I like this approach very much.

[BIG.G]

Haha, does he hit as big a ball as your good self FC?. On another note, never understood the purpose behind these England Lions games. Always thought it was for emerging younger cricketers, not those in their 30's.

If basically Hampshire 2nd XI beat them , this will be an interesting game  .

Some of the counties must be well pleased about call-ups for this game. Hampshire, in particular. They will be without Carberry, Vince and Briggs for their game at Old Trafford tonight.

Especially annoying when a win tonight guarantees us a QF place  .

ballance, plunkett and lees missing for yorkshire big game against notts, brilliant, cheers, absolutely pointless, they'd get more out of a game against a tough notts side in a meaningful game, as opposed to smashing some poor bangladesh's allover

Balance and wright both have tons in a 200plus partnership.

Ballance has to be involved in the ODI's now. Looks a top player taking his chance.

[uknsaunders]

Butler must have massive pad rash. thanks for coming lol

[Sam]

Can't they quickly send Vince and Carberry up to OT now and stick in two sub fielders of some sort  .

[cricketbadger]

Ballance 2 tons in the last 2 lions games, surely a proper england call-up beckons

[jw17]

Ballance is twice the player Bairstow is and has twice the FC hundreds in less innings, how he hasn't kicked him out the test team yet is beyond me!

[King pair]

Balance is class but surely Taylor is in line before him? Taylor not a natural 6 but easily better than bairstow.

[cricketbadger]

I agree Ballance is far better than Bairstow in the longer form of the game, and I'd say he deserves a chance soon, ahead of Taylor

[The_Bird]

I'd say that Bairstow is being growed for the Keeping spot when prior goes but he still needs to score way more runs as a No.6
