England XI 367 for 4 (Bairstow 104*, Cook 85, Trott 74, Kieswetter 71) beat HCA XI 114 (Borthwick 5-31) by 253 runs
England's one-day tour of India is a chance for some of the youngsters to impress and two of them, Jonny Bairstow and Scott Borthwick, shone in the final warm-up match before the ODIs begin on Friday. Bairstow underlined his precocious talent with a thunderous 53-ball hundred as England piled up 367 for 4 then Borthwick took advantage of some slap-happy batting from the hosts to finish with 5 for 31 in a 253-run victory.
Bairstow attack, which included eight six, more solid work order, such as the opening stand of 159 between Alastair Cook and Craig Kieswetter, but Jonathan Trott also noted, 74 off 68 balls as he added 143 and second Bairstow Bairstow fifty took just 20 deliveries. Only batsman to leave out was Kevin Pietersen, who fell on the left-arm spin Mehdi Hasan, 10, and failed in both warm-ups in a day of his return to the side.
Ian Bell missed the match with a stomach ache and Ravi Bopara was rested after his 73 in the first game as a form Bairstow is clear, now has serious questions about the selection before opening one day international. As Pietersen was raised on this tour, rather than continue his rest, he could not be omitted, so the bell could be a player, which is a way.
Three of the best, seems to be unchanged, despite some hesitant early Trott was named the No. 4 team sheet. England must be flexible, and their thoughts throughout the series, but tried to start seems likely. Cook and Kieswetter Productive reacquainted himself after the latter's return to the Champions League and is not tested too friendly home invasion.
However, after England less than inspiring display on Saturday when he was shot at 219 was an important statement of intent to produce a show at the baton. The two starters may have reached three figures, but will not be too worried about losing, because the others said were lucky enough time in between. Cook, who again beat his opening partner, was caught at the border and an ill-pull time Kieswetter.
Pietersen was caught at backward point after a short stay, but England is never in danger of losing handles the direction and Trott Bairstow combine their different styles. Trott maneuvered the field while Bairstow gave a demonstration of power and timing that was on display during his ODI debut in Cardiff last month. The last 10 rounds of acquisitions England - no power play limited by the new regulations - have made 105 runs.
Despite a promising start for England against the pace bowlers - including Stuart Meaker - collapsed house in the middle, while the attack is coming rotation. Superb slip by Cook to take to remove Akshath Borthwick Reddy gave his first wicket, and the same combination struck again two balls later.
Windows continued to fall in a hurry and then Meaker in the act with three for himself at 29 but his pace was too much for the lower order. Borthwick and Meaker not expected to press for the initial selection of the series, but their performances have been observed.
He completed a fine day in England, new faces, but the most difficult challenges ahead.
