BBC Sport at EdgbastonSteve Smith has picked up Jonny Bairstow's bat to inspect it. Now he's doing the same to Jason Roy's. The man is obsessed.

I've never been a fan of cricket but we're watching it in my office and I have to say I'm really enjoying it (even though I'm not sure what all the terminology means)! Time to brush up on cricket knowledge methinks!

You're a strange bunch!
Bairstow may need the needle yet. Although he's loosening up with some physio work.

George Wright: I'm following the live text through the face hole in an acupuncturists table. Achilles looks like a pin cushion. Need the top order to aid relaxation.

Daniel Gregory: Re 15:21 name of that shot is “Shot of the Tournament”

Former England captain on TMSI am no expert here. I didn't run fast enough to pull something.

Bairstow is in trouble here. Jason Roy was the fitness doubt in this opening pair.
It's his ankle! As he ran the first run his left foot slid, and it rotates 90 degrees.

Oh-oh! Jonny Bairstow has hurt himself running a two here.
Calf?

I had heart surgery on Tuesday. Convalescing at home in front of the cricket. Dear England, please make this a stress-free run chase. Thank you.

Roy 40, Bairstow 21
Pat Cummins rattles the pads of Jonny Bairstow, bit of nip back. The bowler appeals but there's not much conviction and they don't review it.
Cummins is not impressed - and his next ball is a bouncer which beats the keeper and goes for five wides!

While we endorse tuning in whilst chilling out on the beach etc, we think that spending a safari looking for score updates on your phone might be one you'll regret...

If anyone from thw UK works in a more unusual place than 'cashew warehouse in Guinea-Bissau' I'd like to hear it.
Here's Erinsborough High's bad boy Pat Cummins.

Former England captain on TMSIt is absolutely fantastic to watch. They have obviously spoken about how they are going to play Lyon. They are not going to let him settle.

Target 224
How will Jason Roy approach the GOAT? We've answered that on ball one. Attack!
No need to do anything silly of course. England have made a great start.
Jason Roy then plays a reverse sweep for four more! He has somewhere to be...
Thirteen off the over.

Test Match Special statisticianThis is the 32nd time Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy have opened the batting together and it is the 18th time they have reached 50. They have 10 hundred partnerships among those and their average opening stand is 69. That is comfortable the best of their 113 pairs who have batted together 15 or more times in ODI cricket.

BBC Sport at EdgbastonAlex Carey has donned the helmet to stand up to Nathan Lyon. Watching him put it on, mindful of the stitches in his chin, looked painful.

Afternoon all.
Jason Roy smacks Nathan Lyon's first ball for six. Straight over his head.
Course he does!
