McCoy to Billings, FOUR, short again, slapped again! No-one at midwicket, and Billings is motoring now!
19.4
6
McCoy to Billings, SIX, leans back, slapped high and hard over extra cover, and Brathwaite punches it over the rope! Tried to punch it back into play, but muffed it
19.2
4
McCoy to Billings, FOUR, reverse slap through fine leg! That's excellent manipulation, cashing in on the slower ball again, had all the time in the world to pick his spot
19.1
6
McCoy to Billings, SIX, slower ball, and slotted into the stands! Made room for himself, held his shape before committing to the stroke, and utterly lambasting it!
18.6
6
Brathwaite to Willey, SIX, another full toss, and here comes Willey! That's the power he can bring to the party, a crashing whoomph through the line, hard into the sightscreen below the commentary box!
18.4
4
Brathwaite to Billings, FOUR, flashed hard and flat, over long-on! Meeting the wide full toss with a violent bosh
18.2
4
Brathwaite to Billings, FOUR, four more, but not as intended! Very full, outside off again, Billings is standing on off stump so reaches it with an inside-edge drive past the off stump, and the keeper!
18.1
4
Brathwaite to Billings, FOUR, that's supreme from Billings! A Jos-Buttler-esque paddle-sweep, met on the full way outside off, and lofted over fine leg. Brathwaite's first boundary of his spell
16.4
6
Cottrell to Billings, SIX, whistles into the dug-out at long-on! Short, swatted, and up comes a 35-ball fifty! Vital impetus
16.3
4
Cottrell to Billings, FOUR, slower ball, bonked out to the leg side, where Hetmyer has a shocker! Nutmegged on the boundary's edge, and that's a bonus boundary
16.1
4
Cottrell to Billings, FOUR, top tonking from Billings! Picked that delivery early, wide and full, leaning across the crease and thumping eagerly with an uppercut sweep through square leg
14.4
4
McCoy to Root, FOUR, back of a length, and Root's third four of the over brings up yet another improbably rapid fifty... Just 36 balls, and this one is pumped on the up, face as open as a shocked mouth, and placed past backward point
14.2
4
McCoy to Root, FOUR, angled once again behind point, not quite so much finesse, but every bit as much placement
14.1
4
McCoy to Root, FOUR, impeccably deflected! That's Root at his finest... opening the face and lacing this through third man like the Tailor of Gloucester's mice with the last of the cherry twist
13.4
4
Holder to Billings, FOUR, banged in short, slapped in front of square with an urgent pull. Not so much timed as hauled through the gap
11.4
4
Holder to Billings, FOUR, short and leg-sided, that's a freebie, especially on these short straight boundaries. Helped round the corner with a pull through fine leg
10.5
4
Bishoo to Root, FOUR, dragged down and Root swings it away through backward square leg to an untended part of the field
10.3
4
Bishoo to Billings, FOUR, Billing comes down and drills this through mid-on, beats the dive of McCoy this time for a vital boundary!
9.4
4
Allen to Root, FOUR, dropped! Though it was a brilliant effort from McCoy running around at long-on! Hit flat and hard and dying on him as he threw himself forward, then rolling away to the rope as he picked himself up
5.6
4
Allen to Root, FOUR, full and drifting leg side, Root is down quickly and paddles away a restorative boundary through backward square
3.1
6
Allen to Hales, SIX, lobbed up on off, Hales is down on one knee, spanked into the crowd at long-off! Sweet as a nut
2.6
4
Cottrell to Root, FOUR, lovely shot, caressed back down the ground for four! Slightly overpitched by Cottrell and Root has his first boundary in classical style
1.5
4
Holder to Bairstow, FOUR, dug in and Bairstow clubs this up and over short fine leg, using the angles to good effect with no one back there
1.2
4
Holder to Bairstow, FOUR, good length, 127kph/79mph in the channel, YJB thick-edges a drive but it's well wide of the sole slip and England pick up their first boundary of the day
