England getting a cracking start here; 42/0 off the first 4 overs.

25 runs in that 5th over. Mayhem.

All over at OT. Lancs won with ease, scoring at 9per over

Bloody hell the keepers a big lad!!!

England cricket star Phil Salt on T20 World Cup success and his lifelong love for City!

It has been a year to remember for England and Lancashire cricket star – and huge City fan - Phil Salt.

Just watched that. He comes across as a sound bloke.

I felt the earth shake when he went for that catch.

Really impressed with the Pakistan fans, flying all that way to support their national team for a T20.

Well done.

He has the same dietician as Luke Shaw!

Shame that Salt has gone. That was a cracking knock.

That's what he's there to do. Just go out and smash it giving England momentum.

His 109 off 51 balls vs West Indies last year to win the game is astonishing

Not much good at wicket keeping, going on tonight's inept performance. Two simple catches dropped.




And he's finally actually caught one!

No idea why Rizwan isn't keeping? He's brilliant.

Back in the day an awful lot of cricketers were rather rotund

Trying to remember who it was who said that they made their one day (40 or 50 over) debut for Lancs and Jack Simmons, who later became chairman of Lancs, at the break was doing the rounds in the changing room with a pad and pencil
Simmons was a portly fellow and as he approached the young lad, he was thinking "fuck, they're all having a bet on the outcome of the match"
Simmons then reached him and said "right, what do you want from the chippy?"

The Jach Simmons special was Pudding, Chips, Peas and Gravy, with a Fish on top.

BBC can’t help it can they, one of the Pakistan players stopped the ball touching the boundary with some nifty footwork the commentator said he’s showing skills of Garnacho.

The worst keeper since Josef Fritzel

On Sky it was "Giggseh"

Impressive win for England, albeit against a very mediocre Pakistan team.

Smarmy twat Vaughan claims he’s a Wednesday fan bollocks born in Eccles and a big mate of Neville

Eoin Morgan wasn’t it.

Lancs 0/2 from 1 over.
