      ODI V Pakistan 4th game. Archer & Wood bowling. England have plenty of bowlers to pick from. Going to need them for a very busy summer of Cricket.

      Wood just battered into Imam's elbow and he's retired hurt. No Bairstow or Woakes today.2 players who would make my full strength team for the ODI world cup.33-0.

      Wood steaming in at close to 93mph..nearly always over 90.

      Interesting to see archer on a flat trent bridge wicket

      Looks lively but pace has the downside that if they stray off line they can be costly. The slightly slower skiddy bowlers build up pressure. Pitch in great nick and short boundaries mean plenty of 6's & 4's. Denly on now, has a lot to prove to get in the World cup 11.

      90mph bowling if the action is fairly traditional and conventional is quite easy to face

      On this type of pitch they'll go for runs

      For that type of bowler on here anything of say 2 for 60 or less is brilliant

      In the absence of Hales my World cup 11 would be.

      Bairstow,Roy,Root,Morgan,Stokes,Butler (wk).Ali,Woakes,Rashid,Wood,Archer.

      http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/squad/1160031.html

      Plunkett and David Willey close contenders but I've gone for the pace of Wood & Archer backed up by Woakes & Stokes with Rashid & Ali spinning.

      97-0. 375 probably a par score for this pitch with shortish boundaries.

      Good spell by Denly. Getting on before Rashid & Ali. Probably to get a good look at him under pressure.He's bowled well. But he has to be used early on before the heat is turned up later on. Can bat as well so he might push Rashid who is also a leg break bowler but Rashid is a wicket taker whereas Denly is more of a containing bowler.

      Pakistan 206-1 off 35. Bit to slow, got to get 150 off these last 15. Any less and England would be firm favourites. Just thumped Ali for 6...212-1..bit better..need to take risks and go for it.

      261-3...few fireworks now. Rashid coming on, expect a few googlies.

      Bit more interest when it goes down to the wire. Stokes needed an innings like that. Bit of cricket, bit of golf, decent summer of sport. Tiger just lashed it way off the fairway.Might not make the cut.

      Cricket world cup, ashes, copa america, acon, british open, super league etc. Plenty to keep me interested this summer

      Don't see England getting to the semis. Essentially we are flat track bullies. Unable to adapt to different conditions

      Good win by England. SA missed A B for sure. But what a catch, was lucky enough to watch it live. Although boundary catches can look spectacular that was doubly difficult as he caught it with the back of his hand.

      Catch of the tournament so far.

      Great start by Pakistan..161-2 off 27.3. So building up to a very challenging total. This will be a great contest.

      England need 2/3 quick wickets to slow them down.

      Pakistan still going well on 222-3 off 36. Looking at 330+

      England will need to sharpen up in the field  for these last 14/15 overs.

      West Indies rattling through another team with their pace and aggressive bowling.

      Dark horses for the tournament I'd say, although their spin department looks a bit weak.

      Russell doesn't have the temperament for anything that isn't a T20 league game.
