England quick takes hat-trick - against England
England's David Willey has warmed-up for the ICC World T20 by taking a hat-trick in a practice match - against his own teammates.
England had one final hit-out before their tournament opener against West Indies on Wednesday, taking on a Mumbai XI featuring four of their own players as all 15 members of the squad had some game time.
Willey, James Vince, Jos Buttler and Adil Rashid all pulled on a Mumbai shirt and Willey ended his four-over spell in style, removing Joe Root, Moeen Ali and Chris Jordan with the final three balls of the innings to complete a hat-trick.
The left-armer finished with 3-35 as England posted 8-177 while Rashid also took two wickets. Joe Root top-scored with 48 from 34 balls while openers Jason Roy (32 from 21) and Alex Hales (37 from 23) as well as allrounder Ben Stokes (30 from 23) enjoyed their time in the middle.
