Looks like England might have to pick an entirely new squad.

Hopefully there are no serious symptoms.

This should be interesting

Should be 3-0 for England. There’s no better tactic to beat Pakistan than play second string or inexperienced/returning players.

Sam Hain must be fuming

I guess the XI will resemble:

Phil Salt (debut)
Zak Crawley (debut)
Dawid Malan
James Vince
Ben Stokes
Dan Lawrence (debut)
Lewis Gregory (debut)
David Payne (debut)
Danny Briggs
Saqib Mahmood
Matt Parkinson

I absolutely do see them giving the gloves to Salt when Simpson is right there.

Congratulations to Zak Crawley for the first ever ODI triple century

I'd watch that

I think something like this. I'd expect Salt to keep as he seems to have been doing so quite frequently in T20.

Salt
Vince/Crawley
Malan (although Stokes did alright at 3 in India)
Stokes
Lawrence
Gregory
Overton
Carse
Mahmood/Payne
Parkinson

The 11th player out with a positive test?

The 11th player out with a positive test?

Vince or Crawley at 2 or 3. Vince has generally opened but they might go with Crawley. Or maybe Ben Duckett in the middle order. It will probably depend on where Stokes bats.

We're still going to lose 3-0, aren't we? :/

Why not continue with Stokes at 3? He won a game against India playing there. Also, is it really necessary to play all of Vince, Salt, Crawley and Malan in the same line-up. Too many openers in there!!!
