Sir Ian Botham says James Vince must play for England in Thursdays first Investec Test against Sri Lanka. The Hampshire captain is in line to make his long-awaited Test debut at Headingley having staked his claim with some excellent performances in Englands Lions and one-day squads.Vince bats at No 3 for his county, a position currently held in the England side by Middlesexs Nick Compton, but could come straight in at No 5 following James Taylors early retirement. The 25-year-old caught the eye with a brilliant century against Yorkshire at Leeds two weeks ago and Botham believes he could get his chance in his preferred position of first wicket down.Vince must play, and could bat at three but it depends on how they (the selectors) want to go and if they stick with Compton, said Botham. Hes been knocking on the door for a while, hes been in great form and deserves his chance. James Vince could make his debut when England play Sri Lanka in the 1st Test at Headingley. Id bat him at three, Joe Root at four and Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes at five and six, but they may place trust in their bowlers and decide to go for an extra batsman, well just have to see.The England legend does not expect a repeat of Sri Lankas series win against England two years ago and is tipping Alastair Cooks side to complete a 3-0 series whitewash.Botham added: England should win the series comfortably. They played well in the winter and should be far too strong for this inexperienced Sri Lanka side. We take a look back at the England v Sri Lanka Test series for 2014, where there was heartbreak for James Anderson. The weather could have a say, I know rain is forecast for Headingley, but I still think they will win 3-0.Captain Cook heads into the match 36 runs shy of becoming the first Englishman to score 10,000 Test runs and Botham is confident the in-form opener will achieve the landmark early in the series.Hell get there and can go on and get another 3,000 Test runs, it just depends how long he wants to keep going, added Botham, who has picked Cook at 9/4 to be Englands leading run scorer in the series, one of his Beefys Bets.

SAN DIEGO -- Hunter Renfroe was OK with being intentionally walked in his major league debut.At least he got on base.The walk intentionally, I guess thats probably the best thing you can possibly do, honestly, to get your feet wet, Renfroe said after his San Diego Padres lost 3-2 to the Arizona Diamondbacks, who got two home runs from Paul Goldschmidt and six strong innings from Zack Greinke.It felt good. Glad to get in the game until we start tomorrow.Renfroe was one of four prospects called up from Triple-A El Paso by the rebuilding Padres. Two made their major league debuts as pinch-hitters in the seventh. Carlos Asuaje was punched out by Randall Delgado and Renfroe was intentionally walked by Edwin Escobar. A third prospect, Manuel Margot, made his big league debut as a pinch-runner in the eighth.Catcher Austin Hedges, who made his big league debut last year for the Padres, also was called up. Renfroe, Asuaje, Margot and Hedges are scheduled to start Thursday night against the San Francisco Giants.If there were any nerves, they disappeared when Renfroe saw he was going to be put on base. I was like, `OK, Im good now, ` he said.I think its great to get that out of the way and hopefully tomorrow will be a lot better and hopefully Ill get to swing the bat.Manager Andy Green said he used the rookies for strategic reasons rather than to get them acclimated.It had to do with winning a baseball game. They all have skills that were right to be used in those moments and tomorrow is more about just getting them on the field and getting them a start, Green said.dddddddddddd They were all out there for a reason.The Diamondbacks pulled into a tie with the Padres for fourth place in the NL West at 64-88.Goldschmidts 22nd and 23rd homers provided all of Arizonas runs and came off rookie Luis Perdomo (8-10). Goldschmidt hit a solo shot into the seats in left field with two outs in the first for a 1-0 lead, and a go-ahead, two-run homer into the Padres bullpen in left-center with two outs in the sixth.Greinke (13-7) held San Diego to two runs and six hits while striking out seven and walking four. He improved to 8-1 lifetime against the Padres.His only big mistake was allowing Wil Myers two-run homer to left-center with two outs in the third for a 2-1 lead, his 27th. Jon Jay was aboard on a walk.Daniel Hudson earned a four-out save, his fourth.Perdomo allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings, struck out two and walked none.UP NEXT:Diamondbacks: Arizona is off Thursday and opens a three-game series at Baltimore on Friday, with RHP Shelby Miller (2-12, 6.90) scheduled to oppose Yovani Gallardo (5-8, 5.77).Padres: LHP Christian Friedrich (5-10, 4.78) is scheduled to start for the Padres in the opener of a four-game series against the San Francisco Giants, who are trying to stay alive in the wild card race.
