Before this one Jason Roy had converted four of his past five fifties into centuries having only converted three of first 15.

I mean. This is daft.

Jonny Bairstow has smashed this delivery over the fielders, over the stands, and into the car park, where an attendant is quickly dispatched to fetch it. It's almost taken out the people queuing for the food stalls.

We send Stephan to these matches and he can't even catch a cricket ball. Disgraceful. Doesn't bode well for our work grudge match tomorrow.

Jonny Bairstow, meanwhile, can hit a cricket ball. A four gets pumped through mid-wicket.

This is the kerfuffle that followed the Roy six, as captured by one of the photographers. We have no idea who the bloke throwing the ball back is. He emerged from nowhere, moving quicker than Usain Bolt. Terrible arm, though.

Eurgh. Another poor bit of fielding from Asif Ali sees him stop the ball in the deep, but Jason Royand Jonny Bairstow are quick to take advantage of his fumble and run two.

Forty balls, five fours, three sixes for Jason Roy's half-century.

Yeah, England's World Cup opening partnership is shaping up rather nicely.

Jason Roy stands tall and sends a thunderous slap through the covers. The nearest fielder can only stand and watch it go flying past him. Astonishing.

A laughing Jason Roy walks over and punches gloves with Imad Wasim at the end of the over.

We've just seen a replay of that giant six - to the lady on the balcony who ducked out of the way of that six while not spilling a drop of her drink, I salute you. A true hero.

Imad Wasim fields in his follow-through and mimicks a throw at the stump, following it up with a few words for Jason Roy.

It's understandable. He's been hit for one of the biggest sixes I've seen and Roy almost took his left foot off a minute ago with a thunderous strike down the ground. I'd be grumpy too.

This is stupidly good from Jason Roy.

He slams Imad Wasim's first delivery onto the third floor of the block of flats opposite the ground, with a group of spectators having to take cover so their drinks table doesn't get ruined.

I mean, Shaheen's had better days in the field.

Shaheen Afridi is probably not in his ideal fielding position here.

Jonny Bairstow smashes a drive straight at him at mid-on but it bounces awkwardly in front of him, and the ball sneaks under his body and away for four.

That four takes Bairstow and Roy past Ian Bell and Alastair Cook as England's highest-scoring opening partnership in ODI cricket.

Jonny Bairstow waits, waits and waits, then paddles Hasan Ali's off-cutter through a vacant fine leg for a very calm four.

That's not a good shot though, Baisrtow getting completely done over by a Hasan slower ball, and the ball goes through the big ol' gap between bat and pad and just misses the off stump.

Jonny Bairstow pushes into the leg side to ensure England snaffle 11 runs from the over.

A hobbling Imad Wasim has got his sock and his boot back on, and he's going to finish off this over.

We're going to - understandably - have a brief break while Imad Wasim gets his foot dealt with.

This is the sort of ball-striking we're talking about.

Oh, that's going to sting.

Imad Wasim's foot has got in the way of a punishing on-drive from Jason Roy. The ball looks to have smacked him right on the end of the toes on his left foot. Send for the physio!

Shaheen Afridi will not have enjoyed that six.
