- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 slower ball, nicked to the keeper! Now this is just wonderful bowling. Wiese turns off all the pace, but finds the ideal line and length, a knuckleball floats like a leaf down at Salt's hard hands, and a palpable nick loops gently to the keeper. England are in a world of bother now! 13/21.2 bowled him! That is a simply huge moment for England's World Cup campaign! Trumpelmann bluffed Buttler there, he perhaps assumed he wouldn't risk that wicked full-length inswinger, but by jingo he did! Perfect line, length, shape, plucking out the leg stump as England's captain flaps loosely through the line! Crumbs! 2/17.1 width outside off, Bairstow toe-ends his slapped cut! The keeper calls early, jogs round to short cover and pockets a big top-edge. The end of a handy knock from Bairstow, one which began in very tricky circumstances 69/39.2 seizes the short ball, but straight to deep midwicket! Sticks in the pitch, taking on the longer boundary. Trumpelmann strikes, but Moeen has made his mark 107/49.6 wide yorker, clubbed down the ground, and run out looking for the second. No matter, England have posted 122, which will get a small bump for the overs-adjustment 122/5Extras4 (b 2, lb 1, w 1)TOTAL122/5 (10 Overs, RR: 12.2)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Jos Buttler, 1.2 ov), 2-13 (Phil Salt, 2.1 ov), 3-69 (Jonny Bairstow, 7.1 ov), 4-107 (Moeen Ali, 9.2 ov), 5-122 (Liam Livingstone, 9.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.6 goes down-town once again, but picks out Brook at long-on! Hitting up through the line, Jordan strikes with his final ball, and England are home bar the snookers 80/25.6 big grip on the googly, strikes the pads as van Lingen gets in a tangle, Buttler shies at the stumps and misses 44/19.4 pace off once more, top-edged on the pull! Wiese swings for the hills, as well he might, but Brook is on hand once more in the deep, looking into the sun but judging it well. Is that the end for Wiese, his salute to the crowd suggests it might be. What a performer he's been. Handshakes from the England players as he left too, which is nice to see 82/3Extras5 (lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL84/3 (10 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-44 (Nikolaas Davin, 5.6 ov), 2-80 (Michael van Lingen, 8.6 ov), 3-82 (David Wiese, 9.4 ov)
