Cric info reckon Taylor. I hope there right.




But... Who's is the icon he's using? Seems they net with owt having watched a video if hales with ravis ton before?

looks like a middling bat to me

Using a GM Icon, tut tut James!

Think it's practically dead certain that Moeen and Hales will open on Sunday. It's just whether Bell or Taylor (who I think this gives us the ideal situation to get in) comes in for Cook. In an ideal world they'd both come in for Morgan but unfortunately he's now captain so we can't do that  . If Bell came in then Bumble was suggesting to get Morgan up the order to try and regain form and slotting him in at 3 could be an option? Even if Taylor came in the same could be done with Taylor at 4 but that would mean definitely slotting Root down to 5 which looking at yesterday may not be the best choice.

Anyone know the forecast for tonight? Am I right in thinking that as soon as there's a toss Cooks ban is then served even if there's no play?

Taylor in, down at 3  . First time I've been excited looking forward to an England innings in a while seeing that top 3! Still though, no Tredwell in Sri Lanka  .

[Sam]

Noooooo. Could just see that happening after that first wide  .

[smilley792]

Doh.

Think that'll be hales last chance until after the WC at the earliest now.

Cook and Moore saved.

[InternalTraining]

Taylor looks all muscled up.

[smilley792]

Taylor looking very nervous.

Hopefully he can get through this chill and go long/big. Otherwise if he and hales fail today...... well we will have to say "what do we know?"

[ppccopener]

I think we all know quite a bit
50 up for Taylor....
Keep going son

Great innings from taylor.  Gutted he didn't make a ton. But it showed a selfless innings. He could have just nudged ones to a hundred.

He's probably just cost hales his place though.

[Buzz]

well played Taylor. gutted about Hales.

[joeljonno]

Good to see him getting some runs.

For those who were saying why we playing in SL. Better than not playing at all.

I'd say Moeen, Root, Buttler and Taylor have taken their chance to get a WC place.

Cook as captain and Morgan as vice seems to be nailed on as well.

Shame Hales couldn't live up to the hype.

good chance for Morgan to get some end of innings time here (fingers crossed that I have not cursed him  )
