Fastest ever T20 ton for LL, apparently.

Vaughan watch: Malan comes out and Vaughan slags off his stats, which are incredible. Mo bats and his terrible stats are posted, and Vaughan say he's better than that!

The ever hapless Curran T had better bowl brilliantly to make up for needlessly running out the England batsman of the moment, who was starting to look like he was going to take England to 210/220

I've never understood what he brings to the table, or why England would ever consider leaving anybody out for him

MPV probably wants him in the side :stupid

200 shouldn't be enough. This pitch could have been made to order for Grame Hick.

BBC have an actor commentating and very helpfully he's already told me the benefit of taking a breather at the non strikers end when the blood is pumping

presumably because he'd know

He's just mentioned that Maqsood would be disappointed with today's score because it was the same as his career average..... and then he said he's better than that

errr.... how can he be better than his career average.... it's his career average... if he was better than that, his career average would be better, wouldn't it?

perhaps it's me that's thick :dunno

Unless Pakistan keep hitting full tosses back to the bowler.

Maybe on a BBC contract so they don't have to pay him more money.

Looks quite tight right now.

Should give Mo another over now as spin looks the way to go. Morgs wouldn't so it'll be interesting to see if JB2 will.

Missed chance off Parky.

Mo takes a wicket. I'll have that one.

And another.

Easy win.

Well done to the spinners.

I'm guessing the first choice pace attack for the WCT20 will be Wood, Archer (if fit) and Jordon plus Stokes.

So there are a lot of bowlers looking for squad places. Sam and Tom, Willey, Woakes, Mahmood, Gregory, Topley.

Embarrassment of riches, frankly. Which is a nice problem to have.

Vaughan is fast becoming a caricature of himself. He has his pet players and damned if the stats or performance indicate they underperform: Wood and Moeen to name but two.

Will soon be heading full Boycott, I think.

England have a lot of options in many areas. LL looked convincing today, but it's a bit of a kneejerk perhaps to cement him in the side when Captain Morgan and Gentle Ben have to come back.

Shame Hales(storm) has been forgotten. He seems to be playing well.

I like Moeen as a long shot. But he is a very long shot.

he spent 5 mins today saying that tick tock was a step too far

which I guess means they haven't bunged him a few quid

I don't even know what that is, tbh

apparently it's a bit more extreme than instant gram, but then I don't know what that is either although I have heard of that one

The twaddle and the @rsebook I know, but I don't approve of them, so they can't be bunging me any money

Boycott was a cantankerous old git, a self centred, vain, egotistical, narcissist, but unlike Vaughan he was never a tart
