    I imagine Jonny Bairstow will be getting a word about reviewing after this...

    A waste?

    The most shocking decision I think I've ever seen.

    Perhaps that absolute shocker will stop batsmen from frivolously reviewing everything. It was obvious that JB was plumb. At least it won't matter today.

    I have a bit of sympathy for Dharmasena. The ball did swing after going past the bat. Maybe there should be an umpire review where he can check whether he nicked it.

    Morgan 0, Root 21

    Mitchell Starc puts the brakes on England a bit, whose accelerator Jason Roy is now out of course. England can get out and push it home from here.

    We are at the point where we will get a game today no matter what.

    A fair afternoon on Canock Chase. Lovely part of the world.

    Jason Roy may get in some hot water for that reaction. Thankfully for England it shouldn't matter too much in terms of this match...

    Jason Roy was a long way away from hitting that.

    That is what the umpire review system was brought in for - not the lbw of Bairstow. That was a shocker.

    Eoin Morgan is the new man in.

    Poor cricket that. Jason Roy is fuming as he hits his bat against something on the balcony.

    Here's how the worm was looking just before that.

    Roy is saying umpire Kumar was going to give a wide. The umpires are saying it doesn't matter and he has to go.

    Roy c Carey b Cummins 85 (Eng 147-2)

    Joe Root creams Pat Cummins away for another four. Batting beautifully.

    And Jason Roy is out!

    A strange end. Roy is given out gloved behind, he reviews it, but England burned their review through Jonny Bairstow.

    And guess what - Roy didn't hit that!

    Test Match Special statistician

    Jason Roy has hit 65 runs from his last 34 balls.

    Steve Smith has over 6,000 Test runs to his name. His career highlights reel is one to die for.

    And he's also got this in his locker.

    I don't think I have enjoyed a day quite so much.

    Hey Jude now. It's a wedding, not a semi-final.

    England were favourites to win this game but Australia just haven't arrived. They have been marmalised. It has been a wonderful display.
