Billings in for Morgan doesn't inspire confidence in England's chances.

Fine start though.

Memory test. Who is Lord D'Arcy in for?

Yes, Stanlake.

Only change I think.

Jonny out caught behind. Well played.

Amazing stats. Roy and JB1 have the best SRs of any openers to play ODIs.

Except Jesse Ryder.

Minimum 800 runs v top eight sides.

And Hales is only five places behind.

Any info on the rhyming allrounders?

Neser out, another Richardson in.

No news on cricinfo on Woakes and Stokes.

Seven overs for 27 runs since JB1 got out.

Sure I read somewhere that Ball had been called in for Woakes for current series. Stokes has been made available for some Durham T20's at his request. Can't see it worth risking him for this series.

Rain interrupts the match. England comfortably placed at 149/2 in 23.3 overs.

Well made 66* (63) for Jason. Jonny batted well too. Run rate will be more crucial this match as D/L might be used.

Well done Roy

England on for a big one here, if the wheels don't fall off (which is no guarantee).

100* (96) for Jason. Nice innings, chance-less and almost all runs came middle of the bat.

350 maybe. Buttler's in and the tail can all wield a heavy bat.

Billings takes an age to get himself in, and then gets out with a feeble drag on.

It beggars belief how he gets anywhere near this team, it's not as if he is in any sort of form.

Ali takes one ball to get in!
