The seemingly inexorable push towards playing a day-night Test this year continued at the MCG on Sunday, when Channel Nine and Cricket Australia conducted a broadcast trial with pink balls. Australia appear almost certain to host the inaugural day-night Test against New Zealand in November, with Adelaide Oval and Bellerive Oval in Hobart the most likely venues
Good half-centuries from Lyth and Rashid in the Lions match against a good South African attack. Seems this pitch has got more in it for all bowlers, let's see how we bowl on it.
Amazing innings by AB, a pleasure to watch. I cant see this record being broken. A massive total by SA. Taking nothing away form from AB, but the WI attack was very poor.
not getting carried away about one game but i quite like the look of a bowling attack where we have finn and broad coming on as 1st and 2nd change
woakes has really started to live up to his potential in the last 6 months and having someone solid with the bat at #8 who is bowling pretty well with the new ball is a great asset to any side
Anderson looked superb today in his first competitive match for over 4 months
and with the ease we made the runs it showed that it wasn't just a helpful pitch but was in fact good bowling
Why is it that when England win and certain players perform well....it is always quiet in here ?
Hehe
Great bowling from Finn & Anderson.
Let's hope they're as equally effective against Aus....
India looked 3rd-rate. What's up with them?
So is this the team sorted for the World Cup now, or are we maybe missing a big hitter at the top of the order (Hales), and is Balance meant to be coming back, and if so, who for? Taylor?

this team today will start the world cup I think
my only question was would we go with the 4 seamers or have tredwell in for finn but think today answered that
Well played by England. I havent been watching Englands recent OD performances that closely, but what I have seen Finn has been ordinary. This is the first match he has done very well. I hope the selectors dont base their opinion on what happened in this match.
I have a feeling this is a one of for India. I cant imagine they will be this bad again. Everyone has a bad day at the office. However I hope I am wrong.
Just been watching the Big Bash game from this morning and what an epic finish
56 off the last 3 overs culminating with 2 fours off the last 2 balls
Good entertainment
Eoin Morgan has been the victim of a blackmail plot over a relationship he had some time ago.
"However, Eoin Morgan has been embroiled in a bizarre case of an Australian man demanding £35,000 from the ECB otherwise he threatened to release "embarrassing" information about a relationship Morgan had with an Australian woman five years ago. Both were single at the time.
The plot came to light in the build-up to the one-day international against Australia in Hobart following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police and ECB staff with the squad in Australia. The man at the centre of the incident has been identified, and is the current partner of the woman Morgan dated, but no charges will be brought."
I wasn't planning on watching this but I found myself awake just after 3am so I thought I'd tune in for a few hours before work. I'm sure I'll regret is when I fall asleep at my desk this afternoon.

AB 147* off 41 balls with 16 x 6 so far
De Villiers is unreal.
Looking forward to seeing 'Belly' plodding away again in our next game.
West Indies not looking likely to threaten at 93/2 off 17 overs

When fit the guy was becoming a genius for Durham.
He really looks a talent, injuries are his main drawback.
Well done AB. A batsman at the top of the game.
England are playing well, India are playing like they want to get home quickly.
They've still got another 6 weeks there
Only just switched on but it doesn't look like a bowler friendly pitch
137/7 with Finn getting 5
Looks like it's been an all round great performance
well done Finn, Jimmy, Bell and Taylor .......:)

England need a decent start here.
