We could call him the maiden Overton.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
England look well set for a 400+ score. Salt is nearing his first 100 for England.
Only his second ever limited overs hundred.
148 is his highest score in professional cricket. Should be looking to increase that here.
EDIT - Falls for 122.

218-1 off 29 overs. Still Morgan, Buttler, Livingstone, Moeen to come (Curran & Willey even too).
Good luck Netherlands.
Good luck Netherlands.
Nice for Van der Beek to get a run out for the Netherlands eh?
Better bowler than footballer
Will Malan do an Ashwin and retire out here?
Jason Roy must be absolutely gutted watching this.
Might as well get Dele Ali out there as well.
He should've done.
It's Holland.
Butler is finding it rather easy.

I haven't followed the cricket very closely at all for years, so sorry if both of these things are completely normal now - but why are England playing a round of ODIs in the middle of a test series (with an entirely different side), and why are they playing a full ODI series against Holland to start with?
I think to a large degree the answer to both is 'why not?'.
Well this is bullying right now pure and simple
Surely 500 is on here. They perhaps would have got it already but Malan had a low strike rate despite a century.
Livingstone 
Covid postponements. Hard to fit it in a separate slot. The English summer is busy and Holland's cricket season is basically the same as England's.
All ICC full members are playing the World Cup Super League. I think they've decided this will be the first and only version of this format.
Morgan just having a duck and then a coffee like a boss
Stop this already. Have Mercy
Doesn’t go well for Donny whatever what sport he participates in
No 6's that over. Rubbish.
500 looks on here
Agreed. Buttler will come out swinging if he ever gets back on strike
30 in 2 overs. Easy
I can now see why they've come to that conclusion.
It's a shame the record ODI score will be broken, was always fun to see the Aussie on the back end of it
I would be hugely surprised if england doesn't win next year's wc as well. Top white ball side.
23 of 6. Still doable
We're playing Holland mate, it's fairly irrelevant to any future WC.
Depends on the bowlers, India have a better set right now and better depth as well.
Only 7 off that one. Need 23 off this one.
I mean, fair enough, but the scoreboard is looking like a pretty decent answer to 'why not?' at the minute.
Ah that makes some sense, cheers. Had somehow avoided hearing about this tournament. Sounds suspiciously like an even more naff version of the Nations League.
Booo no 500.
498. fecking shit.
So close to 500!
Boooooo
Missed out by like 50 cms!
A team end. Didn't get to 500 and the new world record is against minnows.
Crowd are enjoying it.I mean, fair enough, but the scoreboard is looking like a pretty decent answer to 'why not?' at the minute.
498? Meh
