    Australia will want a drop of scotch in their drinks here.

  2. Drinks break

    Eng 294-1

    I bet England will send Jos Buttler in next. Like making a nightmare a terror for the Aussies. Jonny Bairstow is holding his bat over his shoulder. Menacing, like he's about to chop down a tree. Have the spectators just booed a dot ball? Ashton Agar is actually doing a decent job here. His economy rate of 7.42 is respectable in these circumstances. Drinks.

  3. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Andrew Tye has tried everything there and been hit each time. As a bowler in these situations you can end up not thinking clearly.

  4. Eng 286-1

    Bairstow 131, Hales 69

    In case you need reminding, the highest ODI total of all-time is the 444-3 England walloped against Pakistan on this ground two years ago. If the scoring continues at this rate, that will be left in the dust. It's almost a surprise not to see the ball going to the fence. Four Hales boundaries off this Andrew Tye over. Tim Paine has his head in his gloves. Tye looks ready to retire. He has conceded 56 runs in fours overs.

    Got to be some nervous in-ground amateur scorers. Eight bowlers and all the bowling rows used already, adding bowler number nine will really mess up their books, will Marsh or Head bowl?

  6. Eng 269-1

    Bairstow 126, Hales 57

    It's the sort of day where the spectators might touch the ball more than the fielders. Either that, or Trent Bridge may have to seriously consider dishing out some protection to patrons in the front few rows. Even when the batsmen get in a pickle, like Hales against Agar here, they still find the fence. Swept for four.

  7. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    If there is ever a pitch, a ground, a bowling attack and a batting line-up to reach 500, then you feel England could do it today.

  8. 50 runs

    50 for Alex Hales

    Eng 259-1

    Can you get more than six depending on how far you hit it? Alex Hales goes to a 38-ball half-century with the sort of blow that should be worth 12. It's landed three floors up over the long-on fence.

  9. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    It's fantastic to see the power of these batsmen but it's a bit lopsided.

  10. Eng 253-1

    The ball has been changed. Australia would probably prefer that it is swapped for an onion. Bairstow isn't too fussed what he hits. He'd probably hit a beach ball over the rope at the moment. A pull for four, then a scamper for England to get past 250. I'm not joking when I say that 500 is on.

  11. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    England played Australia in an ODI here in 1989 and the match was tied.

    England made 226-5 in 55 overs, with Australia reaching 226-8 in reply.

    Hard to imagine an ODI match finishing like that these days.

  12. 6 runs

    Eng 245-1

    Are sixes an event anymore? Bairstow over long-off to take Stoinis for a maximum. That's the shortest part of the ground. Only about 60m. The landing means they need to change the ball. The fourth umpire has come out with a case that is usually used to carry a massive poker set.

  13. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    That actually turned a bit. Height was the only issue.

  14. Eng 239-1

    Ashton Agar back to bowl his left-arm darts, appealing against Alex Hales. Turned down, probably because of height. Nice stuff from Agar, decent control of length in the face of some ferocious swinging and swiping. Only two off the over feels better than a maiden in a normal game

  15. Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    I think the comparison with the 444-3 against Pakistan is valid now.

    So after 27 overs here, England were 227-1.

    After 27 overs against Pakistan, they were 177-1.

  16. Eng 237-1

    Bairstow 108, Hales 44

    Every delivery that doesn't go the fence feels like a win for the bowlers. Marcus Stoinis replaces D'Arcy Short, bowling his medium-pacers with a lot of pectoral and a Hail Mary in his heart. Alex Hales lofts over mid-off for four. Nothing more than a length ball. It's like being at the tin-can alley.

  17. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    At the moment you can't bowl anywhere at Jonny Bairstow. He kind of gave it away after reaching his century against Scotland so I wonder whether he's determined to really cash in today.

  18. 6 runs

    Eng 227-1

    How many might Bairstow get? The England record is 180, held by Jason Roy. He celebrates reaching three figures by cutting Andrew Tye for four. Trent Bridge is so suited to ODI mega scores because some of the boundaries are very short. To illustrate the point, an Alex Hales top edge goes for six, caught by a man in the front row. Long hair, checked shirt, it thudded into his chest. He'll be in pain.

  19. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    It's been a brutal display of power hitting, fabulous timing and tremendous placement from Jonny Bairstow.

  20. 100 runs

    100 for Jonny Bairstow

    Eng 211-1

    A ton with a six!

    Jonny Bairstow reaches his fourth ton in six ODIs by belting D'Arcy Short over mid-wicket for a maximum. 69 balls, 11 fours and four sixes.

    He celebrates by raising his right arm, Alan Shearer-style. Can you believe there was a time when Bairstow couldn't get in this side?
