    Root c Thirimanne b Vandersay 25 (Eng 65-2)

    Oh, Joseph. You have drowned in honey. It's a total long hop from Jeffrey Vandersay and Joe Root doesn't know whether to hit it for four, six, or 12. Somehow he picks out the man at deep mid-wicket. He can't believe it. I don't think anyone can. Big wicket.

    "There are wickets in hand but you couldn't say that England are off to a flier here."

  4. Eng 65-1 (Roy 37, Root 25)published at 10 overs

    Root is a man at ease with the world, totally content that he has the talent to deal with whatever situation. Jos Buttler has hit pads on. Coming in next?

    "If Mathews can't stop it nobody can because he's a brilliant fielder. Root didn't quite time it."

  6. Eng 64-1published at 9.3 overs

    Joe Root can even hit fours with one hand. Down the track, bottom hand lets go, still over the tumbling Angelo Mathews and to the cover fence.

    "They may be contemplating a batting order reshuffle. You feel they need an impact player and whether Morgan qualifies as that these days, I don't know."

    Left-arm tweaker Herath, so dangerous, yet probably not tall enough to get on a rollercoaster. Loopy, drifty, ball on a string. Oh yes! Roy down the track, flowing over cow corner. Six penneth. 50 partnership in seven overs.

    Robert Jones: Can't think of a batter in this WT20 who picks gaps with more precision than Root.

    Chameera has good variations. Cutters, then decent gas. Root is up to his busy, scoring-off-every-ball best, while Roy is feast or famine. Score predictor says 180.

    "That was the quick ball and it missed the off stump by millimetres."

  12. Eng 47-1published at 7.2 overs

    Pace, Dushmantha Chameera. Eoin Morgan, next man in, had his helmet on, now it's off. Nips back, Roy cut in two, appeal for caught behind. Not out.

    Roy is running at every ball. Charge! After a pretty iffy start, England are up and running. Can they maintain and post a match-winning score? The DJ is still pumping out some awful bass numbers.

    "Roy didn't half hit it well - it crashed into the black sightscreen. Six and a half almost."

    More spin. Milinda Siriwardana. Full toss. Whallop! Six of the best down the ground from Roy.

    "Particularly compared to what I was watching earlier from Kolkata, this is actually quite a good surface for batting. There is just enough bounce for the batsmen to time the ball away."

  18. Eng 38-1published at 6 overs

    That is absolutely gorgeous. The sort of cricket stroke I'd consider entering a civil partnership with. Joe Root, a falling-off-a-log clip through mid-wicket, so perfectly placed as to evade the dive of two fielders.

    "Roy took that from outside off-stump. He is playing the more exotic shots and improvising, Root is playing in a more orthodox manner."

  20. Eng 34-1published at 5.5 overs

    Mathews back on, keeper Dinesh Chandimal up to the stumps for the medium pacer. Shot lad! Roy somehow sweeps behind square for four. Mathews is rolling his fingers over the ball, pace off. Have England got it right with their four seamers?
