Today. 4 day warm-up match for the Poms.

CA XI elected to bowl first.

England 4/178. Joe Root scored 58. Interestingly, leg spinner, Daniel Fallins has 3/36, including Root.

Rather sad (after all those years of Warney & McGilla) that we don't have even one leggy under consideration for the Tests.

Adam Zampa is thought of as a limited overs bowler, only. Fawad Ahmed has very good first class numbers but doesn't get a look-in. Michael Swepson is thereabouts without starring.

8/278. Fallins 4/71 (First Class debut).

Fast bowler, Jackson Coleman also debuted. He has 3/66.

Oz quicks withdrawn from the Shield match against Q'land.

All 3 - Starc, Haz & Cummins - to train with the Test squad.

Didn't make much difference.

NSW simply called up its next bowling attack - former Test bowlers, Copeland and Bollinger, present Test spinner, Lyon, and Abbott.

Bolly, Copeland and Lyon took 3 wickets each, as they bundled out Q'land for 183.

Cam Bancroft is making every post a winner, as he continues on to be 173 n.o.

Renshaw looked secure, as Test opener, but recent low scores could see him lose his spot to the WA opener.

Bye Renshaw.

Bancroft still going - 215 n.o.

Test squad: David Warner, Cameron Bancroft, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith (c), Peter Handscomb, Shaun Marsh, Tim Paine, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood, Jackson Bird, Chadd Sayers.

Sayers & Bird will miss the XI.
