England playing overnight in a T20 warm up match. Looks like they were giving those that didn't get a game in the ODIs a run out. Willey got 79 off 36 balls.

And 3-32.

Decent looking PM's XI.

England cruised to victory, Willey starring at the top of the innings!

Hmmmm, that totally passed me by.

England thrashed the PM's XI. While that's not an unusual thing to say, it was a stronger than usual PM team, and winning with more than 7 overs to spare is unusual in any T20.

Also, which *modded*head decided it would be a good idea to have an international T20 series kick off in BBL finals week? What stupid scheduling!

TMS was covering the PMXI game. That feels unusual, but quite encouraging.

NZ v Aus in the morning in this competition.

terrific start from Big Billy. 3-15 off his 4 overs.

NZ with a lot of work to do in their last 5 overs

Given that the Kiwis are involved i thought this deserves its own thread.

Run a ball for the aussies now.

I was surprised to see this still going, but there's presumably been some rain floating about. looking easy for Aus

England v Australia is in Hobart.

Feels a bit odd they didn't get an ODI.

I struggle to understand why they need 18 days to play 6 T20 matches

feels as though they are taking the ssip, tbh

The whole limited overs leg has been laggardly.

Don't know if travelling between counties will cause the delay.
