    This is only the sixth time England have had five debutants in an ODI side. There was a much-changed team against Ireland in 2019 but before that you've got to go back to 1996 against Pakistan. It was the first game of a series after a Test series.

  2. Pak 72-4published at 17 overs

    Another good tidy over from Brydon Carse with just two singles coming off it.

    He's gone for 16 off his four overs.

    Normally when you watch England’s one-day team you instinctively know who everyone is without really having to look. The well-built Jason Roy will be diving around at backward point, Jonny Bairstow scurrying around the boundary edge and Eoin Morgan thinking deeply at extra cover.

    With this team it’s strange. It takes you a couple of seconds to work out who everyone is.

    Shiv: Saqib Mahmood looks very good today. Rapid.

    It would've been surreal for a lot of the guys to get the call up, it just wouldn't have been on their radars. There are benefits to being in a squad for a long time but it can bring anxiety as to when you are going to get a chance in the starting team.

    But when you're called up out of the blue you don't have time to worry and it can actually be a good thing.

  7. drinks break

    Drinks breakpublished at 16 overs

    Pak 70-4

    This pitch might be a little bit two paced. The odd ball is keeping a bit low, some are flying through, and Fakhar Zaman miscued a pull in that over.

    It's time for a drink.

    Carse certainly has a lot of pace and a good action, there is a lot of talent to work with.

  9. Pak 67-4published at 15 overs

    A good over from Brydon Carse. He's bowling at good pace.

    He looks a talent.

  10. dropped catch

    Maqsood dropped on 15published at 14.5 overs

    Oh! Sohaib Maqsood plinks a return catch up to Brydon Carse, but the England debutant, stretching out with his left hand spllis it.

    It would have been a great catch.

    Will Alex Hales play for England again? That is the big question.

    Thumbs up for yes. Thumbs down for no.

    If Alex Hales can’t even get picked in this replacement squad, can we assume we’ll never see him in an England shirt again? Such a shame if that were to be the case.

    Ewan, Stockport.

  13. Pak 65-4published at 14 overs

    Craig Overton's best over so far. His line, and length, was much better in that over.

    This partnership is worth 39 now. They've done a good job of rebuilding, but they've got to continue.

    Fakhar Zaman has taken a bit of a liking to Craig Overton so far.

    This is why Pakistan are my favourite team to watch - absolute flair, when he could've just cut it along the ground.

    That was an extraordinary shot by Maqsood!

  17. 6 runs

    Pak 64-4published at 13 overs

    Hello! Short and wide from Brydon Carse and Sohaib Maqsood whacks him over cover for six.

    That is an absolutely brilliant shot. He nailed it.

  18. Postpublished at 13:59 British Summer Time 8 July 2021

    England only named two spinners, Matt Parkinson and Danny Briggs, in their replacement squad.

    It doesn't leave them with too many options.

    I’m a little biased but Matt Critchley of Derbyshire can count himself unlucky not to be in the squad.

    The Pakistan batsmen like it full, the England bowlers need to be careful.
