England ODI side serving notice for the 2019 World Cup! England are the most talented side in the world right now.

Not sure I'd go that far. Bowling is still a concern. If someone can get Tymal Mills fit enough for ODI's than maybe.

Rashid's fielding would do the country of his fore fathers proud...

Didn't check the forum over the bank holiday, just got back to a computer, read through this thread and had a right giggle reading all the Hales posts before this game started!

Love that Buttler got 90 off 51 and spent most of his innings looking unhappy about missing the ball, what a team innings. Need to drop Jason Roy though, he's just not up to standard with the rest of them

Hales is still dire in the field though.
Want Pakistan to make a respectable total, feel our bowlers need a bit of a reality check.

Must admit, having seen England put on 445, Pakistan should just block it out for 50. England have scored too many, ruined the game... 

Sharjeel making a fist of it though!

Sorry Sharjeel, my bad!

This match would determine the future style of Pakistan's ODI cricket. They don't know how to accelerate their run rate and if they can do it decently today, they'll break out of this #9 rut.

Sorry Sharjeel, my bad!

I was typing Sharjeel needed to pace his inning and look what happened. He didn't middle this pull.

Sharjeel batted well.

But to be caught in the power play shows he was going by the spur of the moment shots.

Hales, and buttler were moving the field around, aiming at gaps etc.


I presume sarfraz will go for it, but not sure rest of Pakistan side will.

Just looking at the bowling figures.

Nawaz went @ 6's over his 10! Frankly, that's incredible when a side puts up 444.

Pace off the ball. But please, please not Moeen!

[Wills]

Pakistan should have given Sharjeel a white flag to wave when he got out. Disappointed nobody else is trying to make a fist of it.

Anyone know what happened to that 7'0 lad Pakistan had 12 months ago? Maybe he deserves a go.

He's got called up in place of hafeez, so will probably get a game at headingley.

He was apparently called up(bowler for batsman seems daft) as a few off the bowlers that have done tests have complained about fatigue.
After today a reckon wahab be after the break.



Is there anyone anyone in Pakistanis set up that bats like buttler/Roy. I.e can hit it hard from ball one, has abit of flair?? Surely time to blood them and work on them.

Time to lure Boom Boom out of retirement I reckon!
