Some background information:
- England men’s 30-strong ‘behind-closed-doors’ training group reported to the Ageas Bowl on Tuesday afternoon.

- For the first 24 hours, the group isolated in the on-site hotel and spent most of yesterday (Wednesday) in their bedrooms.
- The first day of practice was today (Thursday). The practice was split into morning and afternoon sessions. With 30 players practising, half the group trained in the morning with other half training in the afternoon slot. Crawley netted this afternoon.
