NO PLACE SET IN STONE AS BROOK BLOOMS

ENGLAND might be aiming for a T20 series win over New Zealand tonight, but the only discussions are about who will make way for Harry Brook in their ODI World Cup squad.

The obvious candidates to step aside for an explosive batter remain Dawid Malan or Jason Roy.

Malan perhaps has his nose in front after his fifty in the opening T20, while Roy is yet to feature this summer and should make his bow on Friday in the first ODI.

But all-rounder Liam Livingstone could be dragged into the debate, and not just because his bowling was taken apart by the Kiwis at Edgbaston.

“Harry Brook is going to be a great player,” said Moeen Ali. He's playing great at the minute. He's been unlucky to miss out but the way he's playing he could come back in, you never know.
