    Brian Whitehead: Probably the most exciting text feed I’ve ever seen.

    Bairdy: Yes, yes, smacking the ball to all corners is great but give me a perfectly executed cover drive any day of the week.

  2. Eng 102-1published at 9.1 overs

    Remember Jason Roy? He had the best seta in the house for the Buttler assault. Stanlake the bowler. Over mid-off for four.

    I reckon England fancy having a left-hand, right-hand combination against the leg-spinner, hence why Eoin Morgan has put himself in.

  4. Eng 98-1published at 9 overs

    Swepson 2-0-22-1

    England skipper Eoin Morgan has pushed himself up to number three. That's probably to get a left-hander out there against the young leggie.

    That's a very important breakthrough. But still a 95-run opening partnership to kickstart the innings for England.

    Buttler c Short b Swepson 61 (Eng 95-1)

    Mitchell Swepson has his man! That half-tracker again. Jos Buttler picks out deep mid-wicket to boos from the Hollies Stand. The end of a brutal knock from Buttler.

  7. Eng 93-0published at 8.3 overs

    Mitchell Swepson may have figured out a method of keeping Buttler quiet. The rapid long-hop is quite effective.

    I just cannot believe the amount of boundaries I've seen hit in the last couple of weeks of cricket.

  9. Eng 92-0published at 8 overs

    In all of that, Agar was actually bowling quite well. Even with that six, he's only conceded 24 from three overs. You'd probably take that at the moment.

    Jos Buttler's fifty took his 22 balls with four sixes and six fours.

    So that's four singles and the rest in boundaries.

    He's the third batsman to hit six fifties in seven T20 matches after Virat Kohli and Hamilton Masakadza.

    Where won't he hit it? Agar the bowler, Buttler going over long-on.

    Matt Harding: Love watching Jos Buttler bat. Arguably the most exciting cricketer I’ve ever seen.

    Eng 83-0

    The scoop! That's an England record! Jos Buttler moves to 50 from only 22 balls. Ravi Bopara's record is in the bin. Later, Buttler will turn water into wine.

    That had the pace and width that Jos Buttler was looking for. It's not even his strongest area of the ground.

    Butler over cover for six! On for the fastest fifty...

    Billy Stanlake would have caught that.

    What a tangle. Jos Buttler late on a short ball, it goes straight up. Billy Stanlake tries to take the return catch, but Jason Roy, trying to get back, is in the way. Aaron Finch looks at the umpire, but there's nothing doing.

    Fielding restrictions relaxed, some potential respite for Australia. From the batsmen, if not the crowd. Billy Stanlake back into the attack, Roy has to hurry for a single...

    That's the third-fastest England have reached 50 in T20s, at 23 balls.

    The fastest took them only 17 against South Africa in March 2016.

  20. Eng 71-0published at 6 overs

    Roy 28, Buttler 42

    71 runs in the powerplay is England's second best in T20 cricket. Buttler, on 42 from 19 balls, is hunting Ravi Bopara's record 23-ball half-century.
