LET'S HAVE MO FUN

Ali's recipe to raise spirits after horrendous start

- DEAN WILSON

MOEEN ALI wants to bring back the fun to England's misfiring World Cup campaign by reminding his team-mates, 'It's only a game of cricket'.

Of course it is hugely important to each and every one of them wearing the shirt against Sri Lanka in Bangalore today, but in the grand scheme there are much more serious things to worry about.

And even though England's World Cup ambitions are on the line in every game they play now, the chances of producing their best cricket take a giant leap if they are enjoying what they are doing.
