Why is Willey getting picked… does he have something on the ‘Clean Slate?’
Can’t believe he’s probably not going to be in the starting 11 at the World Cup.Salt scoring well and playing relatively safely.
The Nomad will take his place aka The Mercenary in Book 2.Can’t believe he’s probably not going to be in the starting 11 at the World Cup.
Looking forward to this one the 7th T20 and the decider.
Haven’t heard any team news yet but hopefully it’s unchanged from Friday.
Big afternoon of sport ahead starting with the London marathon (currently on now) Singapore GP, Football the Manchester Derby, and the Cricket.
I’ve become more of a tea drinker after watching this series.It's been a sensational series hasn't it? 3-3 and 2 very closely matched teams although I'd argue Pakistan pretty much solely rely on their 2 openers. If they don;t get out then Pakistan are very hard to beat.
Like the idea of a 7 game series with games played very closely together. And well done Pakistan for putting on a great event. About time we were back playing there.
Malan or Salt in form?After a great start, England falter. Need to keep our foot down here. Malan at fault there, Salt pretty much run 2.

The ball will be like a bar of soap once it gets wet with the dew. Hopefully we'll hang on to catches better than they did.Well you’d take 209 any day of the week.
Let’s not get too carried away just yet Pakistan chased down 200 the other night without losing a wicket.
And now Rizwan.Babar gone.
Silly Willy.Why on earth didn't Willey stand aside and let Salt take that?
I wouldn't pick Jordan. Topley will get some bounce on Aussie pitches and would be in that spot.Great 7 games and looking in good shape for the T20 world cup.
What are our predictions for the starting XI?
Obviously Buttler as captain will walk straight back in even though he's not been in the best of form. Ditto Livingstone if he's fit.
Is Stokes a guaranteed starter?. . possibly not but he'd get my vote.
I personally think Salt & Brook need to be given a starting place as well as Hales.
If all fit my team would be - Hales, Salt. Buttler, Livingstone, Brook, Stokes, Ali, Woakes, Jordan, Wood, Rashid
I would go with Leither's side. However, they are going to look after Wood so he will probably alternate with Topley. Also, not sure about Jordan and could play Woakes instead.I wouldn't pick Jordan. Topley will get some bounce on Aussie pitches and would be in that spot.
I wouldn't pick him either but Malan won't have done his cause any harm today.
