1st T20 today. England have flown in Jordan but will otherwise pick from the same squad as for the ODIs. Several players missed training on Friday, however, including Joe Root, Chris Woakes and Olly Stone. Denly looks set to come in for his first England cap in over eight years, though he is unlikely to be given the top-order berth he occupies for Kent.
England (possible): 1 Jason Roy, 2 Jos Buttler (wk), 3 Alex Hales, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Joe Denly, 6 Ben Stokes, 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Jordan, 9 Liam Plunkett, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Tom Curran
Not sure why Root missed training, but certainly wouldnt pick Denly over him.
74-3 Roy living a charmed life - dropped twice in the over off takeable caches in the deep then smacks a six which is caught by one of the groundstaff !!

20-0 off 1.1 overs
Roy survived two 3rd umpire reviews in that over
Buttler and Hales out in that over
That over was bowled by Mendis who bowls ambidextrous !! he bowled 4 deliveries of right arm off spin and 2 of left arm leggies !
Roy living a charmed life - dropped twice in the over off takeable caches in the deep then smacks a six which is caught by one of the groundstaff !!
Roy dropped again - for 4th time this innings - hes 53 no
Roy finally caught behind for 69
150-5 off 15
just 2 off Malinga over - Denly out of his depth against him - couldnt even lay bat on ball for most.
