BROWN RETAINS SPOT FOR SECOND ENGLAND WARM-UP MATCH

Pat Brown has retained his place in the England side announced for the second T20 warm-up match against a New Zealand X1 at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln.

The Worcestershire player is one of seven players retained from the opening match against the same opposition yesterday.

It will give him another opportunity to stake his claim to feature in the forthcoming five game T20I Series against the Black Caps.

Brown picked up his first wicket in England colours in the first game and also had three catches dropped off his bowling in finishing with 1-39 from four overs

The paceman has been allocated the squad number of 40.
