    Roy 20, Buttler 13

    Fetch! Buttler takes a pace or two, walloping the first six somewhere near the Aussie dressing room. Welcome, Mitchell Swepson.

  2. Eng 26-0published at 2.4 overs

    Roy reverse sweep for four. Swepson is almost bowling medium-pace here.

    He's very fortunate there - he dropped the bat but his momentum carried his foot over the line.

    Eng 22-0

    No bat, but Roy got a foot over the line and grounded. The Hollies Stand sings that the Aussies are "always cheating". This might be their roughest ride of the tour.

    Eng 21-0

    Australia think they have Jason Roy here. He's dropped his bat scampering a single...

  6. Eng 21-0published at 2.2 overs

    That's pretty unlucky for the bowler. Buttler charges, gets nowhere near the pitch, but somehow gets it through mid-wicket for four.

    Here you go Mitchell, have a bowl on a flat surface, with small boundaries and two of the most in-form batsmen in the world.

    Spin from both ends. Mitchell Swepson, the leggie, on debut. Good luck lad...

    Roy 15, Buttler 2

    Agar gets away with a full toss, then Roy gets out of dodge with a single. There are plenty of empty seats, so I'm wondering how many spectators are stuck outside. This is a very good over from Agar, only four singles from it.

    Andrew Harley: Traffic absolute chaos. Been a mile from the ground for an hour and barely moved. Might just see the Australia innings at this rate.

    It will be spin. Ashton Agar's left-armers...

    Australia have got to be very canny with their change-ups. They can't be too predictable, especially in these first six overs.

  13. Eng 13-0published at 1 over

    Roy pinches the strike from the final ball. Jos Buttler yet to face. Spin in the second over? I'm hearing that plenty of fans are stuck in traffic outside Edgbaston.

  14. Eng 12-0published at 0.5 overs

    Too short, hammered through point. Satisfying thwack off the middle of the bat.

  15. Eng 8-0published at 0.3 overs

    A dance and a swipe from Roy. Pretty ugly, really, but past mid-on for four more. Slip removed...

    A nonchalant clip and England are on their way.

    Four through mid-wicket. The outfield is a sheet of glass.

    It won't be spin, it will be the pace of Billy Stanlake. If he's only got to bowl four overs, he will be quick. Jason Roy on strike...

    Paul Farbrace is a great guy to be around. He's made it clear he'd be interested in taking over from Trevor Bayliss and I think he'd do a great job.

    There's a St George's flag being passed over the Hollies Stand as Australia come down the steps. Fireworks shoot flames into the air. Jason Roy and Jos Buttler are in red tonight. Surely Australia will start will spin against Roy?
