Oh, Simpson gone too.
The good news is that Somerset lads have a lot of experience with the lower order getting out of holes.

Fakhar 10 off 45 before being bowled by Coverton through the gate. There'd be blood on the floor if Malan tried that!

Part of the job description of being a leggie really, if someone wants to go after you they'll get a few. Rashid regularly goes for 6 an over, the value is that he's always good for a wicket or three.
If they want a holding bowler then they'll pick Briggs or Dawson. Parkinson and Rashid should be judged by the wickets column

I'd like to see Briggs and Payne get their debuts at Edgbaston. Don't suppose it'll happen.

Briggs technically wouldn't be a debut as he played one ODI in 2012 but get what you mean.
Kinda want to see everyone get a game but realise that's not likely. Jacks the one for me I'm very keen to see.

Bugger, yes, I knew that. Jacks I think will get his chance so I'm less fussed. (Surrey player, apart from anything else.) Parkinson and Rashid should be judged by the wickets column He's working on it!

Having Overton on the boundary gives you about another seven feet of coverage, that feels unfair.

Pakistan have Shaheen, it's fine.
Five catches for Simpson, including at least one very fine one. Good to see.

England white ball depth is scary. Maybe Mahmood is the only one who breaks into the first choice side from this but there is nobody who we couldn't replace if they were injured.

This enforced squad change has been a wonderful blessing in disguise, been fantastic to see a 'second string' perform like this against a good Pakistan team, you'd hope food for thought for the selectors.....

No changes, tremendous commitment to being the Borg even with a whole new squad.

Rhys: "I'm at The Oval today and the members here are livid at the fact Jacks isn't playing, given the fact he was taken out of an already depleted Surrey side. There is a genuine feeling the ECB have it in for Surrey.
Please, if anyone needs me, I will be in the mortuary having died laughing.
Picking 18 and playing the same XI three times is piss poor though.

Oh my sides. Agreed otherwise. It's Payne I feel most sorry for.
