Ali's ready to step in as T20 captain

England face Pakistan at Edgbaston today in the second match of the Vitality T20 International Series eager for time in the middle after Wednesday’s Headingley opener was a washout.

Vice-captain Moeen is on notice to step in at any time during the four-match series with Pakistan or even at the T20 World Cup, which starts on June 2, given Buttler’s wife Louise is due to give birth soon.

“Obviously if it happens, then it’s a great honour as it always is,” England white-ball vice-captain Moeen said.

“I’ll be fine. Nothing will change too much, it’s just taking over from what he’s doing and then when he comes back, he takes over.
