    I've seen bigger damp patches than that.

    Now we know why England's warm up games were at home, when it was likely to rain.

    One of my biggest pet hates in cricket - no balls even more so when they cost wicket.

    Such a sloppy start. Poor in the field and with the ball.

    Is the balance of our side right? No fourth seamer means that we have no one to turn to, if and when, one of the other three are under the cosh. We're already having to "find" overs from a combination of Livingstone and Moeen so surely there is an argument for having Sam Curran in the side too? Appreciate that does mean leaving out one of Salt, Bairstow, Jacks or Brook but this is T20 and not 50 over cricket and we will still bat a long way down even with Curran in the side. In fact, he was skipper in the IPL and batted in various positions including at 5 when, in his final game, he hit 63* off 41.

    I think Topley is incredibly unlucky not to be playing today. Left arm from height offers something so different to the rest. Curran's bowling worries me on smaller grounds as he has a tendency to go round the park. Gets away with it in Oz as the playing area is so large.

    Possibly so though many of the IPL are small hence the massive scores. Curran took 16 wickets @ an average of 26.00 with an ER of 10.14. That is comparable to the likes of Russell, Cummins. Starc and Siraj. He also averaged 27.00 with the bat. Agree with Topley but we would have to leave out Wood or Archer to accommodate him whereas Curran offers that left arm option too.

    England Vs Scotland and it's raining.

    If Scotland don't bat further, here are England's targets based on the overs the game could be reduced to:

    In a five-over chase, the target would be 66, while they would need 77 if it were to be six overs.

    With 10 wickets that would be a walk in the park.

    Do England get less power play overs, or the same amount as Scotland?
