    Oh look, Afghanistan. It's good news! Jos Buttler is coming out to bat.

    But Eoin Morgan is on strike. Can he break the six-hitting record?

    Root c Rahmat b Gulbadin 88 (Eng 353-3)

    There'll be no hundred for Joe Root today. He tries to whack another six but is caught at long-on.

    It's still a fine innings from Root and the crowd shouts his name as he jogs from the field.

    Gulbadin's boots summarise Afghanistan today - there is a lot of plaster.

  5. Eng 353-2published at 46.3 overs

    Eoin Morgan needs one more six to break the record for most sixes in an ODI innings.

    The crowd boo as he only manages a single.

    There will be some stiff necks in this Afghanistan side after this innings - they've been watching so many sixes.

    Barney: Jos Buttler would be proud of this knock from Morgan; you don't get higher praise that that.

    England have scored at 14.20 runs an over in the last five overs. Incredible.

    Will Morgan hit more sixes than poor James Vince got runs?

    Craig in Norwich

    Could Eoin Morgan score a century in sixes?

    A FOURTEENTH six for Eoin Morgan. Madness.

    This one is just a small hit by his standards. It lands flush on the boundary cushion at long-off.

    Dawlat Zadran, the man who dropped who dropped Eoin Morgan on 28, is next up to bowl at this six-hitting practice.

    Joe Root slams him for four first up...

    What a display of striking. The consistency... Rashid Khan has gone for 96 in eight overs! There's not many get hold of him.

    This is the most sixes hit by an England player in a one-day match.

    I'm not sure I'm fully taking in how special this is. Eoin Morgan ends the over with another six - his 13th of the innings. You can make comments about the bowling and fielding quality but it has been truly stunning from Eoin Morgan.
