Moeen would benefit from being used properly to take on spinners in the middle overs. Not sure why he's been given so little chance with the ball recently but in fairness to Morgan it did work.

Think Billings was a little unlucky to not make the T20 side after his summer in the ODI series.

Bairstow is looking more and more out of nick each game he plays at the moment and must make a score soon otherwise he could be in trouble with the likes of Roy, Livingston, Banton and even Crawley making consistent contributions back at Kent in the Blast.

As for Ali, it’s a tough one as he was at one stage one of the first names on a team sheet I would imagine in the white ball sides but the last year or so hasn’t been great for him. Tough one as a side with Wood, Archer, Rashid & Ali on current form I would suggest is a quite a long tail compared to what we have had in the past.
Must say I like David Willy in the T20 side as a genuine all rounder with both bat and ball but makes the bowling very samey

Can Ben Foakes be the new finisher? Saving us just now at 23-4 to chasing a low total. Ah.

I’d say Willey makes the bowling much less samey, the issues is you can only really get 2/3 overs out of him at the start (where he’s the best we have) but coming back he’s poor. Contra that he’s a left arm option and a very handy bat. If they go with 6 bowlers then I think there’s a case for him as early wickets are so vital in T20.

Billings isn’t a bad player, but when he gets the chance he really needs to grab it with both hands. And a few half decent knocks against the Irish isn’t really enough given the depth of batting we have.

He's always been good at playing this kind of knock.

But he's nowhere near the England T20 side for me.

This is why Willey can't get in the side

Haha yep.  This could become an interesting chase, as Buttler is bogged down and Malan is good, but he's not going to carry everyone in terms of run rate.

So apart from that when was his last real contribution for England ? Does Ali really merit selection based on one good performance in god knows how long ?
Another solid showing tonight 😉
