 You have to wonder why Hales is seen as solely a 20-20 slogger.....if Warner can turn into a test bat, why can't Hales?

Because Hales scored 254 first class runs last season at an average of under 14.

The Aussies threw Warner in when desperate and he paid off. We're not particularly desperate for opening bats at the moment, with Robson and Compton both presenting very good cases and Chopra a decent one with Carberry and Cook in possession.

Doesn't mean he won't jump the queue based on one day performances (after all Morgan did) but lets not pretend management are ignoring his talents.

No idea why he isn't in the ODI team though.

Just seen the score - my interest has deteriorated over the past few months in English cricket - but wow what a knock from Hales and a comeback from England, stuck Sky Sports on record at 8, so intend on watching it this evening!!!

Hits the ball off the square too. Not in an England opener's MO.

Just watching the highlights - sorry, why wasn't Lumb's catch given out? Thought he took it perfectly!

Because the umpires realised they had cocked up the previous ball dismissal when giving Perrera out caught when he didn't touch the ball.

Steve Davies - Typical cheating Aussie!

Btw, what a shot from Hales to finish the game!!!
