Quote MessageLast time they were here, England were soundly beaten in the Test series but won the ODIs 4-0. That doesn't mean it's going to happen here, but it does show how you can turn it around.
I agree Andy - I've been banging the drum for his Test inclusion for a couple of years now. Although his struggles against Pat Cummins in his last England outings have worried me. Does he struggle against extreme pace?

Andy: Time for Alex Hales to show us what we were missing in the Test series! He's much better than he's given credit for

He is a "power-hitting specialist" and he has been working with Eoin Morgan and Joe Root.
Go big or go home and all that.
Quote MessageHe has a superb coaching record with Sussex, experience of working with England teams, a reputation for getting the best out of players, and is highly regarded as one of the best coaches working in the men's professional game.
Clare Connor, ECB head of women's cricket
Some more news for you this morning is that England's women have a new head coach - Mark Robinson, who will leave his role as Sussex coach to take on his new role at the end of the year.
He replaces Paul Shaw, who left his role as head of performance in September. Mark Davis will replace Robinson at Sussex.
"To have the chance to play a part in the next chapter for the England women's team is a great honour," Robinson said.

Pakistan: Azhar Ali (caot), Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Younus Khan, Shoaib Malik, Bilal Asif, Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), Anwar Ali, Wahab Riaz, Yasir Shah, Mohammad Irfan.
Pakistan captain Azhar Ali: "Younus has been a trememdous role model for us and a great ambassador for Pakistan, we really want to win for him and give him a good send-off. The track looks good, we also wanted to bat first but the toss is just a formality to start the game."
England have won the toss and will bat first.
"It's looks good and hopefully it will be reasonably good to bat on this afternoon," said captain Eoin Morgan of the pitch. "We've progressed over the last couple of series, this is a new series and a new test. Hopefully the challenges we come across, we can overcome.
"A big challenge is to make something happen with the ball in conditions which don't always suit while with the bat it's about dealing with reverse swing and spin."

Younus Khan, Pakistan batsman
Pakistan batsman Younus Khan has announced his retirement from one-day internationals this morning.
Today's game will be his 265th and last in the ODI format, in which he has scored 7,240 runs - which puts him sixth highest on Pakistan's all-time list.
Image source, Getty ImagesFirst we have some news to bring you...
Morning all. Are you ready for some 50-over stuff?
Of course you are. It should be good this - England have flown in the big hitting openers and are ready to unleash some faster bowlers.
And they have a good record in this format against Pakistan in the UAE - they've won seven of nine ODIs.
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's time to replace the red ball with the white ball, swap cream flannels for coloured pyjamas and, of course, we really should fire up the floodlights.
Let's switch from bowling a good length to finding the block hole. No more singles, it's all about boundaries.
Ladies and gentlemen... it's time for some crash, bang and wallop.
England v Pakistan, a four match ODI series. Let's do this.
