Yes, England are once more having to deny being "undercooked" at the start of an away series as they prepare for the second match in their four-game ODI series against Pakistan.

With the tourists already 1-0 down in the series, assistant coach Paul Farbrace says they won't be blaming the schedule after losing the first match. They've remained in Abu Dhabi for game two - we'll be getting under way in just over half-an-hour.

Morning, everyone. It's a day when some young people need your help and support more than ever.

Fifteen young men, thousands of miles from home, are stranded in the desert, with only a large support staff and some lucrative central contracts to help them.

They're up against an implacable foe, and need to triumph today to retain any hope of succeeding in their current challenge.

It's Friday the 13th. Welcome to England In Need.
