    Buttler thumps his first boundary through the covers off the wily Tahir, who is bustling through his deliveries, but England survive his over this time.

    Do England have any brains? Why not just milk Tahir for 6 an over and keep wickets in hand for the last 4 or 5 overs? Instead Joe Root plays the most unnecessary shot and then Morgan runs Hales out. England have all the talent to win world competitions but not the brains unfortunately.

  3. Eng 66-3published at 9 overs

    Big Morris steaming in at 140k's and getting some bounce at England's dangerman Jos Buttler. Not much time for consolidation in this format but wickets intact for a while is the way to go perhaps, particularly when Buttler can score so freely when he is set. A couple of wides and some singles, it has gone quiet for a while.

    Jay: It's almost as if the mere sight of Tahir is enough to send this English side into a tailspin.

    Chippi: As if being useless this whole tour wasn't enough.. Morgan has now decided to run out our in-form batsman.

    Neil Monnery: Eoin Morgan just did his best Nasser Hussain/Geoffrey Boycott impression there. Totally sold Alex Hales down the river.

    "I think Morgan is culpable because he started coming for the second run. He took four steps and then changed his mind. Morgan's just got out there and maybe he wasn't quite switched on."

    Hales run out 16 (Eng 61-3)

    Run-outs are often farcical and this was another one, Hales halfway down the wicket before Morgan sends him back. Tahir causing mayhem already.

    Root c Miller b Tahir 34 (Eng 60-2)

    The pantomime villain for England, Imran Tahir, who claimed 4-21 with his leg-spin in the first match, is brought on to stem the scoring rate. He does more than that - he has got the prize wicket of Root, who tries to hit another six down the ground, does not quite time it as well as he usually does and is caught at long-off.

    "I have a lot of admiration for Jason Roy, but I think he tries too hard in this format. He takes his eye off the ball."

    Root 33, Hales 13

    David Wiese is the new bowler with his nagging fast-medium seamers in the mid-130k's, he has taken 21 wickets in his previous 13 matches. Root keeps the scoring going with a flick off his pads for four and whips another one further behind square for four more. He's halfway to Route 66 already.

    "The first couple of overs were really a challenge, but England have done well to get up to nearly 50."

    Francis Edwards: It's all very well trying to hit every ball for 4 or 6, but sometimes you can't. England look like such an uncomfortable side.

    Mark: Roy hasn't nailed down the openers slot during the tour. To me Vince has better technique, not as explosive but more consistent.

    Root 24, Hales 12

    Chris Morris, perhaps more feared by England for his big hitting than his bowling, replaces Abbott and he is superbly hit high down the ground for another maximum by an advancing Root.

    Root 15 from five balls

    A packed crowd at the Wanderers now enjoying the sunshine and, having not faced much of the bowling so far, Hales pulls Rabada into the grass bank, which luckily misses the children playing their own games. Root hooks the final ball for six more, brilliantly caught by sub fielder Farhaan Behardien in an orange vest beyond the boundary.

    Ian Funnell: Roy badly out of nick. Got to be a doubt for World T20.

    Ben: Why do people think that poor form = drop? Is that going to help them get back in form?

    Mike Bell: If, as wickets tumble, I hear anyone else say England 'have plenty of batting to come', I will not be responsible for my actions.

    Root 8, Hales 3

    Joe Root needs to be cloned. Whatever the situation up he steps. Unorthodox shot, he is on his toes and there are touches of tennis about the pull shot but it brings him four off Abbott's final ball.

    "You sensed that was coming. Roy struggled to get going, he hasn't timed the ball and been able to get away those clean strikes we're used to."

    Joe Root does not hang about though and he is away with a boundary through the off-side.

    Roy b Rabada 9 (Eng 10-1)

    But not for long enough. Went for the big shot, it might have nipped back a bit and dislodges off stump. And as he enters the famous tunnel back to the pavilion, Roy slams his bat into the fence, which is of course captured in high definition by the cameras. He didn't quite time that either, if one could be callous, but that bat might not see the light of day again.

    Eventful start for Roy, a short one from Rabada lifts up and catches him on the grille. He is going to compose himself for a while.

    "Roy likes to use his feet early doors. It's probably something he feels gets him going. But he hasn't found a rhythm yet."
