England face Pakistan in the fourth and final instalment of their rain-hit T20 series as they prepare for the T20 World Cup
Phil Salt, Jos Buttler , Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Woodand celebrates the baby’s birth by winning the toss on a pitch with a “little bit of green grass”. Mum and baby are apparently doing well. Babar Azam says he would have bowled too.“Slightly early team news: Archer and CJ have marked their run-ups so are in. I’m expecting Wood to replace Topley.
It’s dismal isn’t it. To be fair, those early Hambledon pioneers probably hadn’t forseen the many-fold disasters of man-made climate change. Luck, the ICC has embraced it so enthusiastically with their multi-million pound deal with Aramco and the like. the covers are currently on their way off and Pakistan are warming up – no doubt wondering which fool planned this stop-off in the land of constant umbrellas.. Today’s T20 is on paper the fourth and last of the warm-up series, in theory the second and last, but the weather may run a line through the whole damn thing.
Simon Burnton is at The Oval where he has in the last five minutes reported sun, showers, “chucking it down” and sun again. But we’ll be here anyway, weather watching. Do join in.
