    It's fair to say that gamble to bowl Steve Smith didn't work...

    Jonny Bairstow absolutely nails a shot down the ground which looks four all the way until Glenn Maxwell suddenly appears on the slide to make a brilliant save.

    Maxwell is winded, and still in place as a horrible full toss is belted over his head for six by Jason Roy.

    And another!

    AND ANOTHER! SIX, SIX, SIX! The number of the best?

    The crowd is singing Mitchell Johnson's song for Australia's other Mitchell.

    "He bowls to the left..."

    I've got a meet the teachers' thing at school later that I'm going to struggle to concentrate in. Last year it was just before the football WC semi final. The parents are going to start thinking I'm constantly a nervous wreck.

    Look at this crowd, Jason Roy. They are all on their feet. What a scene.

  16. 50 runs

    50 for Jason Roypublished at 15 overs

    It's suddenly got very boozy and very noisy, as loud as a hen do out there now. Jason Roy has another 50, magnificent batting once more.

    The crowd settling into their innings now, the early tension dissipating, the grog slipping down, the songs kicking up and on.

    What a shot that is! A party atmosphere inside Edgbaston - slightly premature maybe...

    Jason Roy punches Starc back for a huge straight four as the DJ continues with his 'Terrace Anthems 98' CD. I think that was a bit of Carnaval de Paris
