Does anyone else feel a bit sorry for Curran?
3 fer and saw it home with 47* yet didn't get man of the match, and was robbed of a chance to get a 50 by a no ball

What today showed me -

Our batting depth isn't actually that strong (when you consider Hales is now dropped).

I would be absolutely fine with Foakes being the spare batsmen in the World Cup.

Archer has lots of potential, but is by no means the finished article.

Curran should be a definite pick for the squad

8 overs 0 maidens 1-40 is hardly excellent, is it?
I'd say he had a solid, if unspectacular, debut and showed glimpses of his potential.

I fear Archer will be another victim of English cricket though. He's undeniably talented but will have to contend with the added pressure of being overhyped by our media.

I thought he bowled much better than his figures suggest

Look sharp, bowled a heavy length, needs to learn to adjust and proceed he has the Yorker

That was not the pitch for Archer to shine to be fair. Foakes was awesome though - such a composed cricketer.

Worth pointing out that this was only Archer�s 15th one day match in his entire career. Secondly I doubt he�ll be getting the new ball either. I�m sure he�ll tear into Pakistan

Tough call for England - Woakes, Wood, Archer, Willey, Plunkett and Curran to get into five spots, then probably to three in the XI. Whoever misses out will feel hard done to.

Just seen the Foakes stumping. Dont think there was anything wrong with that. Ball certainly wasnt dead. In any case you can attatch no blame to Foakes for the excellent work or appeal.

It is up to the umpires to interpret the rules.

Ben Foakes is great. Wonder when(/if!) he'll play his next ODI though...

More than glimpses yes he went for 40 putting the ball in the batters scoring areas but that's all about learning he bowled Yorkers at pace at the stumps and an as an excellent short ball

Malan out with a dodgy groin, Phil Salt in for the t20.

James Vince interests me the most about this series selection. Has been hugely frustrating to watch in the past

Can he tighten his game to make the big scores he does for Hampshire ? There's spots available in the test side so a lot to play for.

I'm a bit on the fence myself, the guy is talented and good to watch in full flow, perhaps a bit like a modern day Ian Bell.

He's got 'it' but can he deliver it. Despite previous false dawns I still think there is a very good player in both formats.

Bairstow will come back so maybe Vince can only get as far as the Hales role as spare.

Willey lucky he didn't break his ankle at least he's seen the funny side.

Yep that could've been a lot worse! Imagine the groundsman will get a lot of stick though.

Vince doesn't have the mental capacity for international cricket. Plays a variety of great shots but never does he play the great innings. If he had some of Collingwood's heart he'd be some player...
