... The Run Chase ...

Mark Wood from England is up for a quick chat. He says they had a point to prove and he is pleased for the whole bowling group. Tells there is some tennis bounce and the seamers used it well. Shares it is skiddy and shiny. Mentions that the spikes don't work most of the time and he slips most of the time. Ends up appreciating the bowling spell by Adil Rashid.

The bowling from the defending champions was top-notch. They poured their anger over the previous mishaps from the tournament on the Oman batters. The pace of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood was unplayable for the Oman batters while the spin of Adil Rashid was not easy for them to read either. Adil Rashid picked up 4 and gave away just 11 off his 4 overs. Mark Wood and Jofra Archer had identical figures as they both gave away 12 and took 3 each. With not a lot to chase the English batters would

After being asked to bat first, Oman never got off to any sort of groove as they were pinned back to the wall from the get-go. The side managed to score just 25 runs and lost 4 wickets inside the powerplay. The bowlers kept on bowling those consistent lines and lengths and made life even more difficult for the batters. The batters couldn’t get out of the jail and wickets kept tumbling. The side were soon 35 for 7 after the end of 10 overs and the last 3 wickets didn’t add much either as the

The title holders have dismantled the Oman batting unit as they bundle them out of 47 runs in just 13.2 overs.

PITCH REPORT - Nasser Hussain and Aaron Finch are pitchside and says there is not a huge amount of grass and the pitch is hard and even.

The skipper of Oman Aqib Ilyas says, they were looking to bowl first but they are not dependent on toss as the surface looks flat. Adds that results are important but learning is even more important for a team such as theirs. Mentions that they have to put on a better fielding effort and the rest is good. Informs about the change with Fayyaz Butt coming in.

The skipper of England Jos Buttler says, they’ll bowl first and would look to chase down the total. Adds that they will look to try and win the game and see what happens in the other game and they have had a good prep leading into this game. Mentions that the NRR will play a bit at the back of their mind but the key is to win and get points on board. Informs about the changeas Reece Topley comes in the playing XI.

Reece Topley to Kashyap Prajapati, Fuller delivery on middle and it swings in. Kashyap Prajapati makes a solid block back on the deck.

Reece Topley to Pratik Athavale, Oman are underway! Shorter and onto the body, Pratik Athavale is late to pull and hits it to square leg for a single. 

Time for the real action now. The English players are out in the middle. Reece Topley gets into the team and in action straightaway, he has the new ball in hand. Kashyap Prajapati and Pratik Athavale to open for Oman. Let's go...

It is time for the national anthems. It will be Oman's first followed by the national anthem of England.

PITCH REPORT - Nasser Hussain and Aaron Finch are pitchside and says there is not a huge amount of grass and the pitch is hard and even. The pitch will offer true bounce and the pacers will enjoy bowling on this track. Adds that the breeze across the ground will suit the left armers from the Curtley Ambrose end. 

The skipper of Oman Aqib Ilyas says, they were looking to bowl first but they are not dependent on toss as the surface looks flat. Adds that results are important but learning is even more important for a team such as theirs. Mentions that they have to put on a better fielding effort and the rest is good. Informs about the change with Fayyaz Butt coming in.

The skipper of England Jos Buttler says, they’ll bowl first and would look to chase down the total. Adds that they will look to try and win the game and see what happens in the other game and they have had a good prep leading into this game. Mentions that the NRR will play a bit at the back of their mind but the key is to win and get points on board. Informs about the changeas Reece Topley comes in the playing XI.
