A press that tries to irritate folk to desperately try to get any kind of story isn't a good press.

England win with just a wee bit in hand. Good knocks from Billings, Duckett and Stokes. Woakes finishes things off with a six. Decent game.

England have chosen to bowl in the final ODI. Bangladesh off to a decent start at 21-0.

Middlesex v Yorkshire is on Sky Sports 1 now in case anyone doesn't know.

Batty looks like experienced back-up (or fourth spinner if ever needed) to me. Ansari has never played a Test, Rashid has only played a few. So it might be sensible to have an old head around. But you never know how things will go....

Mr Barton has been suspended for 3 weeks by Rangers. We'll see how it goes....

England squads for Bangladesh. Test squad: Alastair Cook (captain), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Zafar Ansari, Jonny Bairstow, Gary Ballance, Gareth Batty, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler, Ben Duckett, Steven Finn, Haseeb Hameed, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood ODI squad: Jos Buttler (captain), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Sam Billings, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, James Vince, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.

Bit of an argument. Barton told to come back on Monday. I expect some folk will say it'll improve the side!

Morgan's possible trump card is the captaincy. He seems to have done a good job there. Hales might well come back into the ODI team as well.

Good point. Personally I'd pick him but make sure I had someone else who could step in if it didn't work out.

Haseeb Hameed of Lancashire. Worth it on his record this season though picking such a young player must be reckoned a bit of a risk.

England spanked in the T20. Not that it really matters to me but well played Pakistan.

Can't say I'm overjoyed with the signing of Senderos. In fact I've got a bit of a bad feeling about it. But we'll see how he goes.

Can't say I'm bothered about a letter (which comes from a dubious source) apparently from one official, which ambiguously mentions a “club/company”. UEFA have not issued a ruling on the specific matter and even if they had we would of course be free to dispute it. Have you agreed with every decision or utterance of UEFA or a UEFA official?

Warburton said all along he wanted to add some experience. That's why he tried to sign Eustace. We started this transfer window with a mainly young squad on the books. We've added some older players plus some younger players. No-one knows how it will all work out of course.

SA 138-4 v NZ in the First Test. Looks a decent match-up. Sky Sports 2.

The BBC claim Lescott failed his medical. Or maybe he just got offered more money by Sunderland. Anyway, so be it. All those fans of other teams who said he's rotten must be gutted.

Last I heard Ticketus were chasing Whyte for the money. Good luck to them with that.

That guy is as much a Rangers fan as Neil Lennon is.

There are no really obvious options. There are some calls for Bell to come back but he hasn't done much at county level. Borthwick might be a contender and could also bowl a bit of spin. I reckon most if not all of the current lot will stay in the squad.

I don't know what Peter Stachura is a professor of but I doubt if it's law, otherwise he could do better than regurgitating the tripe that Celtic fans post online.

I like Tav but I'd take the money. Probably just paper talk though.

Pakistan 12 in the lead with 4 wickets remaining. A decent position but they'll regret the wickets they lost towards the end of the day.
