That's an excellent shot - they are strong boys and have big bats.

Oh my goodness, what a shot by Jason Roy. I don't even know how to describe it.

The ball lifts up higher than Roy perhaps expected but he goes with it and launches the ball high over the covers and into the stands.

A bit like a baseball swing but at 45 degrees higher than that. Remarkable.

Remember, you can watch Ireland v West Indies on the BBC Sport website today. Head here.

Ireland are batting first and are 49-1 after 12 overs.

These two are looking greedy - they fancy a big score. It's a decent pitch, even if one or two deliveries are sticking in.

Rik Andrews: Get Roy off strike, we're all here to see YJB aren't we?

They are both lights out, Rik!

Jonny Bairstow pushes into the gap through wide long-on to scamper a couple before tickling round the corner for one.

Jason Roy stays leg side of the final ball and clips it to wide mid-off for a single.

Jason Roy flashes hard at the first ball and edges it straight through where first slip would have been.

He gets three as Faheem puts in a fine diving stop near the fence.

First bowling change for Pakistan and it's a first look at spin on this pitch.

Slow left-armer Imad Wasim is into the attack...

I wonder how many of the people inside the ground today were disappointed when they realised Jofra Archer wasn't playing!

Martin: Sorry Stephan, I believe Durham is the most picturesque ground in England with a magnificent castle overlooking the ground.

Jason Roy tucks off his pads to square leg for a single before Jonny Bairstow takes one as his slice to backward point is only half-stopped.

Good over from Faheem, just two from it.

He's hit three more fours since, but Jonny Bairstow got his innings going with this punch down the ground to the fence.

No glove on this one! Shaheen bangs it in short and Bairstow springs into the pull shot, thwacking the ball away for four.

Big over for England - 12 from it.

The pitch seems quite slow - with little bounce or carry: not what you usually see at the Rose Bowl.

Shaheen zips one past the outside edge but then strays too straight and Bairstow clips it crisply through mid-wicket for four. Excellent balance.

Four more as Bairstow gloves a short ball fine round the corner and away to the fence.

There are three games left in the series, so England might rotate to see which combination works best as a group. But from what I've seen of Archer, he's got that something special which will win you a game.

Good come back from Faheem with three dot balls after that six.

Just a hint that England were getting bogged down and that hint is all Jason Roy needs to react with the first six of the match.

In the slot from Faheem and Roy skips down in anticipation before lofting expertly over the long-on boundary.
