- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 flicked to leg - and straight to midwicket! Roy is gone, Russell the man to strike! All over for England's roving opener, trying to take a back-of-a-length ball over the infield but it came off the toe and flew low to the fielder diving forwards 37/111.1 bowled 'im! The clocktower strikes, Hales' time is up! Seemed to be done for pace, the ball skidded on from a full length... Hales hits the ground with his bat in frustration at essentially having missed a straight one. Did it perhaps drift away from him in the air? 92/214.2 tries to go over the top but picks out mid-off! Root huffs and puffs but he's the one blown down, think that was another slower ball and he plinked it off the toe of the bat straight to the man on the edge of the ring 114/317.5 full toss, slapped high into the leg side... but taken on the boundary! He was hitting to the longest part of the ground, seemed to have got hold of it but there was no pace on the ball to help him and Carlos Brathwaite judged it well to end Buttler's shift 152/419.4 excellent slower ball from Bravo and Stokes is pinned in front! Completely off balance, playing across the line and the ball struck him on the boot in front of middle and leg 175/519.6 slaps across the line, out towards long-on... Moeen will be run out here, going for a non-existent second. Well out of the picture as the throw was arrowed in flat but England have got themselves above 180 182/6Extras12 (b 1, lb 1, w 10)TOTAL182/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Jason Roy, 4.3 ov), 2-92 (Alex Hales, 11.1 ov), 3-114 (Joe Root, 14.2 ov), 4-152 (Jos Buttler, 17.5 ov), 5-175 (Ben Stokes, 19.4 ov), 6-182 (Moeen Ali, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 and he strikes! Heaved low to midwicket, where Moeen snaffles it by his bootlaces. Took a few deliveries for Willey to calibrate himself, but gets this one full and straight, Charles aims through midwicket but miscues to the man inside the circle. The bat face appear to close a little, perhaps caused by the hint of late swing 2/16.4 and he's struck in his first over! He's been billed as England's key man and makes an early impression. Samuels came down the pitch, wasn't quite to the pitch but still went through with his lofted shot down the ground and picked out long-on 57/211.1 is that a good wicket for England or not? Ramdin goes for a slog sweep and gets a huge top edge which settles into the hands of short fine leg 103/312.2 picks out deep midwicket, but is this a no-ball for height? Or has it hit spidercam? Hales was pointing upwards after holding it. It's gone to the TV umpire. Looks okay from side-on, and it was purely a check for height. No spidercam issue. He has to go. Bravo didn't middle is club to the leg side. 113/4Extras16 (lb 4, nb 2, w 10)TOTAL183/4 (18.1 Overs, RR: 10.07)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Johnson Charles, 0.2 ov), 2-57 (Marlon Samuels, 6.4 ov), 3-103 (Denesh Ramdin, 11.1 ov), 4-113 (Dwayne Bravo, 12.2 ov)
