  1. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Mujeeb conceded 15 off his ninth over too.

  2. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That is a great spell - when you go for 44 off 10 overs.

  3. Eng 272-2

    Root 69, Morgan 81

    Three dots when bowling to Eoin Morgan? Well bowled, Mujeeb Ur Rahman. The spinner finishes with 0-44 from his 10 overs. He has bowled well in between the carnage.

    Re: Richard (12:51) - I completely disagree. England have played a sensible, well timed innings, adapting to both the conditions and the pitch. I bet you a pint we get 360.

    George, London

    Re: Richard 12:51. This game is precisely we have a great chance of winning the World cup - playing to the conditions and situation and not trying to go hell for leather, regardless. Remember that game against Pakistan?

    Neil, Yorkshire

  5. Eng 272-2

    Joe Root tries to copy his skipper and go big but skews it to deep extra cover on the bounce.

    That gives Eoin Morgan the strike back...

  6. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    The second of those Morgan sixes in that over brought up the hundred partnership in 10.1 overs.

  7. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Old Trafford

    The first of Morgan's sixes off that Nabi over bounced off the press box. For a worrying moment, it was on course for the windows.

  8. Eng 269-2

    Root 67, Morgan 80

    Joe Root hasn't just been overtaken by Eoin Morgan. He's going out of sight in the rear-view mirror.

  9. 6 runs

    Eng 267-2

    Remember when we were worried about Eoin Morgan's back? He's playing like a dream.

    Back-to-back sixes. This crowd is loving the show the England captain is putting on.

  10. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special

    Mohammad Nabi looks clueless, as do the Afghans in the field.

  11. 6 runs

    Eng 261-2

    HUUUUGE.

    Eoin Morgan clatters one into the third tier of the media centre.

  12. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    That six was Morgan's 200th in one-day cricket.

  13. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    The power hitting of Jos Buttler is still in the shed as well...

  14. Eng 255-2

    Root 66, Morgan 67

    Mujeeb Ur Rahman's shoulders sink a little as he has to turn and bowl to Eoin Morgan again. This time a rare piece of good fielding prevents the boundary.

    Let's have a look at another one of Morgan's sixes...

  15. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Morgan has just gone past Root's score. Root is holding the innings together and Morgan is going crazy at the other end.

  16. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special

    Eoin Morgan is looking in fine shape.

  17. Eng 251-2

    Eoin Morgan now overtakes Joe Root with a sweep for four. This is sensational stuff from England's captain.

  18. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Eoin Morgan's fifty contained five sixes and two fours.

  19. 6 runs

    Eng 247-2

    What has Eoin Morgan had for breakfast?

    His sixth six of the innings!

  20. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It was a big let-off for Morgan being dropped off Rashid Khan. Apart from that false stroke, he's been exceptional today.
