Match Fishing's reporter on the bank has just given us the nod that Grant Albutt is to be on the bench for day one of the Feeder World Championships.

That sees the starting line up of Preston Innovations Team England as follows:

* Tommy Pickering

* Steve Ringer

* Phil Ringer

* Mick Vials

* Adam Wakelin

Practice has seen the England lads on top form on South Africa's Bloemhof Dam, where carp at short and long range are the main target. The rewards have, so far, been hard fought but could this just be the year that sees Tommy's side return with the gold team medal he so desires?

We'll have all the updates right here.
