Daily Mail

Ben Stokes and Liam Plunkett warm up for training with a game of football Moeen Ali chases after Chris Woakes during the team's customary kickaround before training Ben Stokes sprints while wearing a resistance band during England nets on Wednesday Jason Roy and Joe Root team up with a big elastic band during training at the Oval Joe Root and Eoin Morgan pictured in the nets during England batting practice Captain Morgan speaks with Jofra Archer ahead of the bowler's first World Cup match Ben Stokes faces in the nets as England complete their preparations ahead of South Africa Asked if England were focused solely on getting a positive result or were just as eager to make a statement with the manner of their performance, the Dubliner was unequivocal. Mark Wood and Eoin Morgan stretch during warm-ups ahead of training on Wednesday James Vince reaches to gather the ball during a fielding drill in Wednesday's training session The batting is the question mark.
