Big innings for Hales today.

[Villan For Life]

Hales passes Robin Smith's record for England's highest ODI score and gets out next ball which is a shame. He could have got 250 there.

[Rotterdam]

Buttler 53 from 22.

[PaulWinch again]

This is a bonkers innings.

[Chris Jameson]

Pakistan have bowled some absolute dross and look like they can't wait to go home.

[Villan For Life]

For all of the carnage that went before it, that was a good last over for Pakistan. It was bowled with skill and intelligence by Hasan Ali.

444-3 gives England the highest ODI score ever.

I know that I'm going out on a limb here but I don't think that Pakistan will get these

However, as Wasim said on Sky, there's a few players in the ODI team that weren't involved in the Tests. I know that some were already over here for the A tour (and thus already hammered around by Duckett et al) but I think there's a few new players

We look a really decent 50 over side at the moment.  It's a pretty settled nod as well, though if Finn could find some form then he would be a decent option.

I think Willey is the only player you'd add to this right now. There is an argument for Bairstow but when we have just broken the record for batting that becomes a hard sell

[UK Redsox]

Will England enforce the follow-on ?

[UK Redsox]

Highest score in ODI history by a Number Eleven.

Amir now has 50

[paul_e]

Fitting that Worked took the final wicket as c&b this entire tour has been his and, as I said on the domestic thread, he really is the form player and is the clear positive for the simmer.

Have you been watching repeats of 'Allo 'Allo!

There is of course the option not to add anyone at the moment!!  I think the top nine of Hales, Roy, Root, Morgan, Stokes, Buttler, Ali, Woakes and Rashid looks really good and that just leaves two bowlers.  Great to see Wood back and he was bowling over 90mph at times tonight.
