Should be motivated for the Ashes 
Root 107* against Lancs.
Jofra Archer out all summer with stress fracture.
Just what we need, another fast bowler injured.
He’s always injured though isn’t he??
Got my tickets for the England v India T20 at the Ageas bowl.
Never been before (I know, I know) so how best to get there @Lets-B-Drinking??
Airport Parkway and then pay £5 for the shuttle bus or some other way?
P.S. I also have a spare if anyone is interested (PM me)
That will be your best bet. Very easy and well run in the past.
ODI. Netherlands v England and we’ve been put in.
Lo and behold, the comical Jason Roy gets bowled by his cousin (Snater, Essex player) for 1 in the 2nd over.
He really does look like someone who’s never played before at times and to think he got Test caps as well. 
Phil Salt going well. 21-1 off 3.
I don’t have a great singing voice, so I’ll stick to Sky thanks.
My singing voice isn’t too hot either but I don’t have a Sky Sports subscription so I have sold my soul to the devil.
End of the 8th, England 50-1
Roy 1 (7)
Salt 34* (25)
Malan 13* (16)
–
Malan just smashed a six over the commentators booth and they’ve sent a host of people into the woods behind to search for the ball!
And they’ve found it, amazing!
Hmm, Malan gone LBW going for the reverse sweep, but wait he’s reviewing and the ball was missing the stumps. What a reprieve, all the pundits thought it was plumb, as did I.
Wrong shot to play though…
83-1 from 12.3 overs
This all rather slow. I prefer the gung-ho batting of Test Matches.
Rumour has it Netherlands were told to put England in to bat.
So the sponsors could sell more beer with the game lasting at least 50 overs
100 up for Phil Salt, his first ODI ton.
England 183-1 from 26.1
