Apparently declared fit for the tour. Seems to have got over his injuries.

Compton's looked good so far, failure for Hales could prove costly considering the coaching staff clearly don't trust him anyway...

Great to see Compton back in action today.

Root got confused and thought this was a twenty-over warm-up game. Meanwhile Compton's doing that Compton thing of looking like an absolute brick at the crease.
I'm careful of drawing any conclusions from these games though, ever since the Ashes warm-up match back in 2013. All we can really say is that Compton's done better than Hales thus far, coming in at one down. At least they're facing one bowler with real pace.

SR of 40-ish. That's what we need a bit of. Plenty of firepower down the order if needs be.

Taylor with another 50. How he hasn't played more tests will forever remain a mystery

Five runs? Three then two overthrows? Guess we'll find out at day's end... Well done to Tayles as well. All the KP-lovers should remember how his word helped keep Taylesie out of the squad for so long. EDIT: Awww Compo.

Quick single and the shy at the stumps going to the boundary perhaps?

Taylor making it look easy. Time to let someone else have a go?

Let him get his hundred then tell him to retire!

To be fair, he's letting Stokes have a go as well. What were Cook and Hales playing at exactly?
Ah well, always nice to put a few dents in the next generation. SRs at time of typing are 92 and 73. Good to see England's batsmen having fun.
And there's the hundred! Batted Tayles.

Stokes has his ton of 97 balls.
