England v Sri Lanka at Wellington

61 without loss after 8 overs .

Poor shot from Moeen. Hopefully England don't get bogged down with the spin. They have a good foundation to build upon.

70 - 1 after 12

Great catch. No more Ballance, please. What does Halo have to do to get a go?

Bumble agrees re: Ballance.

Drinks: 88/2 (17 overs). Herath on to bowl after drinks?

Bell out for 49. England's good start is being eroded away.

Halfway .. ENG 118/3

Feel bad for Morgan. He absolutely nailed that. 161/4. Warney made a great point earlier. England have an old school mentality when it comes to ODI's - they are happy to chip away and put up 250 which is just not good enough in today's cricket. It was also rather telling to see that the top teams take the batting PP far more frequently before the mandatory 35th, with Australia leading the pack at 50%. England are at 24%.

It's incredibly frustrating that everyone else can see this but England keep trotting Ballance out there. Would you put Halo in at 3 or move Taylor up to 3 and have Halo come in towards the death? I'd like to see Taylor at 3, I like his energy between the wickets.
