England v Pakistan A Warm Ups.

[shankycricket]

A decent day out for England which answered none of the questions hovering over the team. Personally I'd play Rashid in place of Stokes and Hales as an opener.

Taylor over Stokes and Mo stays as opener? Surely Taylor is a much better FC batsman than Hales.

Bit of a dot ball frenzy thus far. One run every three overs or so.

They need to solve the opener slot, in this scenario Mo bats at 6

[Arthur Crabtree]

Five bowlers tried in the first sixteen and a wicket for Moeen.

Wonder if England will regret not taking Tredwell or Kerrigan instead of Plunkett.

Two wickets for Mooen

[hopeforthebest]

They're so short of bowlers they've had to resort to Bairstow.

[Aidan11]

Some good tight bowling so far.

[hopeforthebest]

It appears that these batsmen are content to occupy the crease and not worry about scoring and England bowlers have so far no answer to this attitude.

[Aidan11]

This confirms my opinion that it will be hard for us to take wickets out there regardless of the type of bowling.

[hopeforthebest]

At tea England have 34 overs left to bowl in the final session, good luck with that.

[Aidan11]

I hope the spectators didn't pay to watch this.

[Aidan11]

Ali finally breaks this stubborn partnership.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Two an over! At least it gives an insight into what is needed to take wickets.

[hopeforthebest]

I have a feeling the experience and tight bowling of Tredwell will be greatly missed on this tour.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I've been touting Tredders, probably for the first time ever. Seamers aren't going to bowl enough overs to justify three non batting specialists, plus Stokes.
