Liam's knock was ton of the best for Colly

IF THERE were places up for grabs for a place in England’s World Cup T20 squad before this series then there’s now one fewer.

Liam Livingstone’s brutal onslaught against Pakistan in a losing cause on Friday night has seen to that.

The Lancashire man’s 42-ball century was a record for England in T20 cricket.

And according to Paul Collingwood (below), who is taking care of the side for this three-match series against Pakistan in the absence of regular coach Chris Silverwood, it was one of the best by an England player in white-ball cricket.

With just two more matches before the World Cup squad is announced, Livingstone’s name has been pencilled in.

But after Friday’s pyrotechnics, those picking the squad must just ink it in.
