England won the toss and are batting - 18/0 after 3 overs.
England unchanged Pakistan - Nawaz in for Imad (injured)
Hales can't complain he hasn't been given enough chances...
I'm surprised Adam Lyth has never been given a go in ODIs as he's quite an aggressive opening batsman
Can't believe how many want Alex Hales out after a couple of poor knocks.
ODI stats in the last 12 months (UAE, South Africa and English Summer) (before today):
15 matches 712 runs @ 54.77 3 100s, 4 50s
In my defence I never said he should be permanently dumped, though his form over the last 3 months has been poor (that ton against Sri Lanka was 3 months ago) and he looked like someone who needed a rest
That's it. We've secured the biggest record in world cricket: the only score, among the ten-highest ever, to be made by a team whose name ends with anything other than an "a".

I wonder what the biggest England ODI partnership is?
I'm going for 434.
England win by 170 runs, not a good day to be a bowler!
Bairstow in for Buttler (leg injury).
Willey in for Wood.
Jordan in for Woakes.
Pakistan have a lot of changes.
24-1
Jordan 2 overs for 21 runs
