Azhar Ali calls wrong and Morgan elects to bat

England unchanged

Pakistan make one change with Mohammad Nawaz in for Imad Wasim, who's injured

Spreads calling England runs at 307 - 317 with England to win by 52

Seems about right

Excellent start from England with Hales going well

The prevailing winds are with Hales on his home ground today

Mis fields going for 4, nearly run out, nearly caught and now caught off a no-ball

Go on Halesy lad superb knock so far

South Africa rather unsurprisingly win by 204 runs

at this rate pakistan are definitely going to have to play Afghanistan, Ireland, Scotland and the rest to qualify for the World cup in England.

400 not beyond the realms here....

Yep, England only really need to get around 280 to out bat Pakistan in the one day game.

God knows what Cork was watching for the past 2 yrs if he thought Pakistan would be a stern test for england in the white ball stuff.

even 450 is on if Buttler gets going.

Hales is unreliable but capable of big scores

Spreads now showing 398 - 403...

This is fun - how did we not win the test series.

Not out after a review. Hales still has a chance to beat the record

Highest scorer in a ODI for England. Incredible batting

and then out next ball after breaking the record

If we win the 3rd odi WHOS going to turn up for the 4th ? Surely if it's won today attendance numbers are going to be down on the 4th and 5th ? England are playing a great game though

Excellent innings from Hales with acceleration when it mattered

Jos promoted to number 4

Different game. Pakistan are in the top 2 test sides in the world. In ODI they aren't even in the top 2 in the sub continent

Jos taking advantage of the excellent platform and hitting to all parts

Buttler having a field day. 2 sixes in a row

Now the fastest ODI 50 for England. What a day

3 successive sixes takes Buttler to a 22 ball 50*

Buttler wow what an innings this guy is a machine

Just got in from work and Jos on 18*

Put the kettle on and made a brew and he's past 50

Wow

82 added off 6 overs between these 2 so far..

50 boundaries so far

Cant be far of the record

Edit

Make it 51

Buttler needs to be in the test side when people like Vince and Compton get picked before him it's a joke
