Its pretty staggering that Sam Hain, with a list A average of 59 cannot get into an England B squad.......

Is the squad more with the Twenty20 World Cup in mind?

Great effort by a very different England side. Need 4 off 176 balls. I reckon they can win this.

The England ODI machine keeps rolling on.  I've seen Mahmood play in a few domestic games on TV this season and he has looked a real handful, so good to see him get a chance.  Also good to see Parkinson get a chance and take a couple of wickets, as a leggy comes in handy in ODI cricket.

Agree about Mahmood. Hoping Will Jacks gets a go in at least one of the next two also. Parkinson’s fielding however is nowhere near the required standard and will hold him back if he can’t improve that.

I was hoping to watch on TV after work yesterday. Could have done without England being so clinical. Game was over before I logged off my PC

Maybe we need to pick our third choice team next time to give the opposition a chance to make a game of it.

Normally it’s a problem for visiting teams especially those from the sub continent to adjust to the English conditions but COVID restrictions have made that problem much much worse. We saw this with Sri Lanka’s performance. Whilst their team is in transition they were totally ill prepared to face England. Same will happen to Pakistan as they have played little or no cricket since arriving here. I have tickets for Tuesday at Edgbaston and hoping that it is a more competitive match🤞

India win the women's T20 by 8 runs. Shouldn't have been close tbh, but that should take nothing away from a dogged bowling display towards the end from India.

That match at Edgbaston was a marvellous palette cleanser after the last couple of days, wonderful sport, good natured crowd, lovely weather and a fitting tribute to Bob Willis.

Ireland beat South Africa for the first time ever (by 43 runs in their 2nd ODI).

Yes, I was delighted to see the tribute to Bob. Classy tribute to a great bowler and a wonderful man.
