I dont see a place for the WI skipper in the final 11 for today's game...unless he replaces Moti.

England have won the toss and have opted to bat

Shai Hope
- We've a lot of experience and depth in our batting, the boys are raring to do, just want to play the brand of cricket that we're playing over the past year.

Harry Brook
- We'll have a bat. Looks like a good pitch and we will look to get a good score. Exceptional death over skills (on Brydon Carse), looking forward to his bowling. He'll bat at 3 (on Jos Buttler), hopefully he'll continue to score big runs and win us matches

Jamie Smith and Duckett are at the crease.

Jamie Smith is on strike.

Holder will open the attack

0.2
Holder to Jamie Smith, FOUR, crunched, aggression from Smith, uses his feet, comes down the pitch and drills the drive back past the bowler, beats mid-off to his right and runs away to the ropes

Some problems with the bowler footholes and we've a break

1.3
Shepherd to Duckett, out Caught by Shai Hope!! A top-edge and it's a sitter for Shai Hope, was the slower ball that was pushed across the left-hander, Duckett was shaping for the tuck, closed the face of the bat and it popped straight up - Shai Hope has plenty of time to settle underneath with his gloves and he completes a simple catch

Duckett c Shai Hope b Shepherd 1(4)

ENG 16/1 (1.3) CRR: 10.67

Shepherd to Buttler, FOUR, lovely, overpitched by Shepherd - Buttler leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and then chips it back over the bowler's head for a boundary
