Still Stoinis, just suggesting a hint of inswing to this pair of right-handers. I mentioned before that the wind is biting and there's a lady in a big coat with the furry hood pulled up around her ears. She looks like East 17 in the Stay Another Day video. That's one for the teenagers. Drinks.

Nathan Lyon comes back into the attack. If this was a Test match and Lyon had a red ball, he would probably turn England into a quivering wreck. In the pyjamas with a white ball, Lyon is not roaring. Bairstow sweeps for four. Without wickets in the very near future, this is going to be a procession.

Marcus Stoinis is the latest condemned man to face the firing squad. He's on to bowl his meds. It's like bringing a knife to a gun fight. I've just been told that the nearest pub to the ground is a 15-minute walk away. Is that right? Trent Bridge has got one inside the ground.

Dave Wood: Perhaps these two should be made to bat left-handed to even things up a bit?

The milestones keep coming. Jonny Bairstow's stellar form continues with another half-century. Remember, he's made four tons in his past six games. He's been starved of the strike by Roy, but reaches 50 from 40 balls. The applause from the England balcony is restrained, as if they know there's plenty more to come.

Australia need wickets to limit the scoring and stand a chance. But the brilliance of these two is that they don't really give chances away.

Chester-le-Street looks a picture from above. Sun illuminates the lush outfield. Trees surround the stadium. It's not a ground I've ever been to. Are there any good pubs nearby? Billy Stanlake back into the attack, muscled to the leg-side boundary by Roy. A mishit almost carries to the mid-on fielder. That's about the closest Australia have come to a wicket.

Jonny Baistow and Jason Roy now have the most opening century stands for England in ODIs, with five.

They've overtaken Nick Knight and Marcus Trescothick.

Long shadows being cast by all the players as Agar begins a new over. Bairstow and Roy slap hands as they bring up yet another century partnership. Is it too early to think that the res of this match will be a procession? It looks like an Aussie wicket will only come from an England mistake.

Rik Andrews: Has there ever been an international batter in the form that Jonny Bairstow is in now? Frightening.

Good lord. Is there anything any bowler can do against this England batting line-up? Jhye Richardson doesn't do a lot wrong, but the ball goes back past him quicker than a hiccup thanks a handsome straight drive from Jonny Bairstow. Have we got used to England being this good yet?

Chasing over 300 is never an easy chase against anybody. But England have started beautifully.

Still Agar, this time with the luxury of the fielding restrictions being relaxed. More fielders back means more gaps in the ring, though. Nudged and nurdled by England. Singles taken.

Oh. I didn't even know I held that record.

Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow have just surpassed 1000 runs batting together in 16 ODIs, that's an average of 66 per partnership.

Earlier, Adil Rashid took his 105th wicket to overtake Graeme Swann for the most ODI wickets by an England spinner.

If you were with us earlier, you'll know that Jonathan Agnew had to have a tyre changed on the way to Durham after falling foul of a nail on the road. The Northern Echo has spoken to the manager of the garage that rescued Aggers. Have a read here., externalHe reveals that Aggers' number plate includes 'TMS'. Jhye Richardson, the sort of lad you'd happily let your daughter marry, is the bowler, guided to fine third man for four by Jason Roy, then driven through the covers by Jonny Bairstow.

These two are just dismembering any attack they face. Whoever bowls at them, whatever they bowl, Roy and Bairstow smash it.

The evening sunshine has disappeared, leaving us with a windy gloom. The left-arm spin of Ashton Agar has replaced Nathan Lyon. Already he looks more dangerous. Only one from the over. So rare to get away with that against England in this series.

You put some of Roy's shots the other day down to it being a belting pitch, but he's doing the same again here today.
