  1. That Buttler six added 3% to England's WinViz. Small wins...

  2. Eng 176-4

    They are like London buses.

    Joe Root rocks onto the back foot and crunches a cut to the cover ropes for four.

    Up until then, Jos Buttler was scratching around and missing balls he doesn't normally miss. This time he's come down the pitch and timed it perfectly.

    That might just ignite him.

  4. 6 runs

    Eng 172-4

    Target 326

    Here we go.

    Jos Buttler takes two steps down the pitch and flicks Mohammad Nabi over the mid-wicket ropes.

    It is the first boundary since the final ball of the 21st over.

    It's on guys...

    Champions Trophy: England's Jos Buttler hits a slog sweep over square leg for six

  5. Eng 163-4

    Target 326

    How's that not hit the stumps!?!

    Jos Buttler is beaten in the air by Noor Ahmad as he looks to drive away.

    It just slopes past off stump and hits the left leg of Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

    Another close call for the England captain.

    Jos Buttler is not on it at the moment.

  7. Eng 162-4

    Jos Buttler's mind feels scrambled here, I can't lie to you all.

    He missed a reverse sweep in the previous Noor Ahmad over, and he does so again, but this time it hits his pad.

    There's an appeal for lbw but again it is not out. No review this time.

  8. Eng 160-4

    Jos Buttler works the final ball over mid-wicket for a couple.

    It was a bit of a heave to be honest.

    There's your moment, Jos.

    He has to make the most of that. His future as captain may depend on it.

  10. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator

    Umpire Wilson has had a good game.

  11. Not out

    Eng 158-4

    Ooh! Jos Buttler survives. Just.

    It was just clipping the edge of leg stump.

    Champions Trophy: Jos Buttler survives Afghanistan lbw review

  12. There's no bat from Jos Buttler.

  13. Afghanistan review

    Has Jos Buttler been trapped lbw?

    Mohammad Nabi was down on one knee appealing and wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz was on both knees begging and pleading for it.

  14. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport in Lahore

    There's a bit going on out there. Noor Ahmad was warned for running through onto the danger area of the pitch a few overs ago.

    Joe Root has wandered down to prod at a similar area on the pitch a couple of times since.

    The umpires are yet to step in again.

  15. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Jos Buttler is getting restless I think.

  16. Eng 153-4

    We're on dew watch. The TV coverage has just shown one of these buggy cameras that moves.

    The tyres are a little wet but there's nothing substantial and nowhere near a spray of water.

    The last boundary was more than six overs ago.

    If these two are still there in 15 overs it will be game on.

  18. Eng 151-4

    Target 326

    Four singles from Rashid Khan's latest over.

    The required run-rate is at 7.29 so it has climbed from the start of the innings but not substantially.

  19. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Joe Root has played brilliantly but he needs some support.

  20. 50 runs

    50 for Joe Root

    Half-century off 50 balls for Joe Root.

    He's got to go deep, hasn't he?
