ODI series vs. Netherlands begins today.

10.30am: Netherlands win the toss and bowl.

England: 1 Jason Roy, 2 Phil Salt, 3 Dawid Malan, 4 Jos Buttler (wk), 5 Eoin Morgan (capt), 6 Liam Livingstone, 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Sam Curran, 9 David Willey, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Reece Topley

This is being streamed for free on the ECB website btw.

A penny for Jason Roy's thoughts right now. :lol:

I'd consider moving Liam Livingstone up the order and sending him out next. This score could be ridiculous.

Jos has 4 balls to score 11 runs to beat his own fastest England ODI century.

Malan should retire hurt now and let Livingston have 5 overs to go completely mental alongside Jos.

500 IS ON

Big score that

Dutch just need 10 an over for 50 overs then.

Jamie Overton in for Jimmy, otherwise same XI as the last two games.

My very conservative (and hopefully wildly wrong) opinion is we're not taking 20 wickets with that bowling line up.

I do hope the weather in Leeds is better than what we're currently experiencing in leafy Sussex.

The weather in Notts is glorious this morning and I think Leeds is forecast for similar. Maybe some rain tomorrow but otherwise ok for the full 5 days at the moment. If NZ win the toss and bat then we could be in for a slog.

Apparently JOverton is much, much faster that trundler Craig, and touches 90mph according to the ECB speed tech that is installed at The Oval.

Oh absolutely! Genuine speedster. I'm a bit more excited by this attack because there's now a genuine point-of-difference seamer.

Toss: New Zealand chose to bat

England: 1 Alex Lees, 2 Zak Crawley, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, 5 Jonny Bairstow, 6 Ben Stokes (capt), 7 Ben Foakes (wk), 8 Matthew Potts, 9 Jamie Overton, 10 Jack Leach, 11 Stuart Broad

New Zealand: 1 Tom Latham, 2 Will Young, 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Devon Conway, 5 Daryl Mitchell, 6 Henry Nicholls, 7 Tom Blundell (wk), 8 Michael Bracewell, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Neil Wagner, 11 Trent Boult

Sun is in the sky, there's a test match on, I've got the office to myself because of the rail strike and Vic Marks back on TMS. Glorious. :wub:

TMS going on and on about Kane Williamson's struggled so much. Nailed on for a ton now.

India crumbling against Leicestershire :slol:
