Big win from England Lions today to level the series. Some interesting figures being thrown up here like Malan and Finn doing what he needs to.

Weren't England 2-0 down?

Nah, I missed an England win.

Topley's doing well, but Vince having a 'mare.

Buttler, Bairstow and Billings all very decent wicket keeper batsmen options. Hard luck for Billings as in previous years he would be a test regular

With Billings' first class record he wouldn't have been a shoe in for the Test side even with the likes of Buttler and Bairstow not around.

No way is Billings good enough for the Test side. Only has 1 hundred in his County Championship career and that was on a flat deck at Tunbridge Wells this year.

Exceptional in limited overs though. A shoe in for the World T20 squad.

Dunno, is he better than Read and Jones or just one of them?

Geraint > Billings

All day long based on their first class careers.

Malan 81 off 55, Billings 50 off 31. Game ends in a tie. Super over to decide the series!

Terrible innings from Whiteley. 5* off 12. Could cost England Lions the series.

Lions win the super over by 4 runs and take the series 3-2!

Malan had a very impressive series, much better than Vince. Could Malan take his place in the World T20 squad?
