Losing wickets a bit too regularly here. 160/6 after 27 overs. Good scoring rate, but that wicket tally could do with being halved.

*edit* Make that 7. 118/2 to 160/7

They'll do well to get past 225.

I think this could already be a competitive total. Pakistan bowled dreadfully for 15 overs. The ball is hugely on top of bat now.

If we can eek up to 200, I’d fancy our chances.
 
Watching these England vs Pakistan games and how well the 'B' team are doing makes you wonder if the England Lions team should be a permanent fixture for any team that tours England.

Would be a good way to see the up and coming talent plus the best county cricket has to offer (so would work as an advert for the county game as well) and how well they stack up against top international opposition.

I'd like to see them play throughout the country as well in all the grounds that don't get a look in with the main England team. I think they'd become a very popular team to watch outside the few lucky places that get to see the main team on a regular basis.

They always used to play an England ‘A‘ team in the warm ups to test tours back in the day, but shorter tours are now needed to allow for more tests.

If this had been Australia touring, we’d have been demolished.
