This could be a debate of what should we rest Root or Taylor?

Now Roy is injured... Great!

[ppccopener]

Jason Roy times the ball through the leg side ridiculously well. England off to a great start.

nothing more than a good bat to do that.Now...let's have a look in the for sale section see if I can pick something up to time it like that.

what a difference an day or a change of format makes for Hales

can't believe I'm at work missing this

[northernboy1987]

Hales goes and Buttler comes in at 4! he could score 200 if he bats through now haha!

[rickjames]

I love Jos Buttler

No moans yet about this pitch being flat? or do we accept it when england's smashing it around

Quite right, it's perfectly acceptable when England are batting.

England need all the help they can get. If it turns into a minefield and we have 500 we squeeze home by 5 runs.

Pitches like this are what kills cricket. If this was in the subcontinent everyone would be up in arms about a flat track and batsmen just having a slog.

What's the point of bowlers on surfaces like this? Just use a bowling machine and pretend it's range hitting.

New Zealand scored 308.

Boult and Henry are two of the premier ODI bowlers. Don't see much coming from England's mismash of medium pacers

Willey and Rashid aren't too shabby to be fair to them.

[edge]

Boult yes, Henry? Definitely predicting Jordan will go for over a ton though.

Matt Henry 46 poles at 22. I'll take that everyday of the week
