Weird scheduling, we play T20s next week against India on Tuesday and Friday, when Wednesday and Thursday are both football free days when cricket could get much more of an audience and interest. Indeed the Tuesday match clashes directly against the England Columbia game

Alastair Cook called up for the England Lions. Good to see promising youngsters being given a chance...A few deserved names there as well
Lions team to play India A: Alastair Cook (Essex), Rory Burns (Surrey), Nick Gubbins (Middlesex), Dawid Malan (Middlesex), Ollie Pope (Surrey), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Sam Curran (Surrey), Dom Bess (Somerset), Matthew Fisher (Yorkshire), Jack Leach (Somerset), Jamie Porter (Essex).
I hope Stokes was deemed unfit to bowl at the end, otherwise it was crass captaincy by Morgan. Stokes had been the best bowler and IIRC had only gone for about 10 off 2 overs. Ball & Willey had been carted around the park & yet Stokes wasn't bowled and surprise surprise we lost.

And Jordan was shite as ever. This coming ODI series is going to be a tad different than the one against our cousins from Down-Under and may well put into perspective our true standing in regards to next years WC.

India won the toss and will field first.
twats.
Kohli gone for 47
We played the spinners well & Hales was excellent (complete opposite of the last match).

Kuldeep finishes with 6-25
Stokes 50 came off 103 balls - the slowest for an England batsman since Collingwood in 2005
Still a bit short if I'm honest but pick up a couple of wickets early and it's game on.
