It is an absolute road at Trent Bridge. I say that with experience of having played white-ball cricket here. It is an awkward shape - not a perfect oval. It can be really tricky to defend.

Flames shoot into the sky as the players make their way out. Pakistan are in their Plymouth green. England have come as Crystal Palace.

Babar is the danger man. Incredible player. He can be a really tough customer in this form of the game.

Lewis Gregory might look relatively innocuous but he is a jack of all trades. He is a very useful cricketer to have.

There are three Lancastrians in this England team, which is a great showing for the Red Rose. Mahmood in particular was the stand-out in the ODI series. He was fantastic with the new ball, moved it both ways and did well at the end too.

I do try.

The weather is glorious. It could not be more perfect for T20 cricket.

I've often wondered if I could hire myself to live text parties.

Birthdays, engagements, christenings.

Get involved. Which uncle is going to tell the most inappropriate joke?

I certainly can.

Happy anniversary, Darren, you glorious hunk of man.

And, as ever, you can get involved.

Hot, isn't it?

BBC Test Match Special

...it's live now, in all the usual places.

As you'd expect, we'll have this one covered from every angle. There will be in-play highlights in this page and full highlights on BBC Two at 23:05 BST.

And what about TMS, I hear you ask...

Liam Livingstone at four and Moeen Ali at five for England. A big opportunity for those two.

England: Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Eoin Morgan (capt), Lewis Gregory, Tom Curran, David Willey, Saqib Mahmood, Matt Parkinson.

Pakistan: Babar Azam (capt), Mohammad Rizwan, Sohaib Maqsood, Mohammad Hafeez, Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan (wk), Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasnain.

Umpires: David Millns, Martin Saggers; TV umpire: Alex Wharf.

Keep an eye out for Azam Khan, who is making his debut tonight.

He's the son of legendary Pakistan keeper Moin Khan, and you can read more about him here.

He, erm, gives it a whack.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam: "We sat and discussed out mistakes. We're looking forward."

England captain Eoin Morgan: "It has been amazing. The last week has been a bit of a whirlwind for our players. It is fantastic to see the strength in depth in English cricket.

"We have a World Cup around the corner. It is time to look at those options across the three games. We will see guys getting the opportunity to stake a claim for places at the World Cup."

Eoin Morgan wins the toss and, as he usually does, opts to chase.

Still no return for Jos Buttler, so Dawid Malan opens with Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow takes the gloves. Adil Rashid is rested too.

Saqib Mahmood, Matt Parkinson and Lewis Gregory keep their places from the T20s.
