Poor from Andrew Tye as he slides it down leg at a relatively gentle pace and Eoin Morgan clips it fine for four.

Jonathan Agnew has just spilt his latte everywhere. It's carnage in here.

Ashton Agar continues trying to bowl more back of a length to Eoin Morgan to prevent the England skipper unfurling that reverse sweep.

Joe Root and Morgan content to tap Agar around for five singles off the over.

It may well have been happening all day, but I've just seen an Aussie confronted with sandpaper for the first time. Kane Richardson, out on the boundary, was in front of some spectators that unfolded a long, thin sheet of sandpaper. Richardson applauded the gesture.

It's been a good recovery from Eoin Morgan and Joe Root. They're just ticking over, with no risks being taken. It's nice and calm - just what England need.

Eoin Morgan cuts away Andrew Tye and Glenn Maxwell makes a half-stop, allowing the England skipper to pick up one. Or was that a drop? It probably got to Maxwell on the half-volley and that's a decent interception in the end.

Joe Root then pushes it through the covers and scampers a couple before sliding down to third man for one more.

Morgan hits that reverse sweep so hard. It's not one of those dinky deflections you see some batsman hit. He thwacks it.

Eoin Morgan greets Ashton Agar with a reverse sweep but hits it straight to Billy Stanlake round the corner.

Good start from Agar, sending down five dot balls.

But then Morgan brings out the reverse sweep again and this time beats the solitary man out there as the ball zips away to the fence.

There's no-one protecting the shorter boundary. Eoin might be eyeing that up

England's spinners did most of the damage to the Australian top and middle order.

Can Ashton Agar do the same to the hosts? Here is the slow left-armer...

Andrew Tye is on for his first bowl of the match.

He offers a bit of width and Eoin Morgan drives it through the covers but there's a sweeper in the deep to limit the England skipper to a single.

Joe Root then taps into off and sets off for a risky single...the ball bounces up ideally for Glenn Maxwell but The Big Show fumbles it and the chance is gone. He's fuming. Root was run out against Scotland of course.

Billy Stanlake is athletic, bowls with pace and gets movement both ways with the new ball. He's a very promising bowler.

Billy Stanlake fires it down at 90mph but it's on Eoin Morgan's pads and the England skipper tucks it away through mid-wicket for four.

Ooft! Joe Root tries to tuck the lanky quick down the leg side and almost deflects the ball onto his stumps. Nervy moments but the ball spins just past leg-stump.

My mate says I'm responsible for this one, having said Jonny Bairstow looked capable of knocking off the runs by himself shortly before he banged an innocuous Kane Richardson short ball straight to Travis Head...

Richardson tightens up after that Root boundary, conceding just three more singles off the over.

Shot! Joe Root leans forward and smacks the returning Kane Richardson through the covers for four.

That's the fifty up for England.

It's going to take a steady partnership, and some cool heads. Who better to do it than the Test captain and the one-day captain? You don't need to take that many risks. It's just about accumulating the runs.

Stanlake can't strike and strays wide, pushing it across Morgan, who cracks it through backward point for four.

An intriguing first powerplay - Australia will be delighted to have picked up three wickets but England have shown they can score on this pitch.

This is a cosy spot, underneath the sightscreen at the Pavilion End. If so minded, you could really disrupt the play from here. Stewards are on hand, telling people to take their seats in between overs. One old fella, who probably comes to every game, takes no notice, not bothered that the entire stadium is waiting for him.

Fresh from his fielding exploits, Billy Stanlake is coming back into the attack.

A fourth wicket would make this very tasty.
