    That is very unlike Joe Root.

    Root c Latham b De Grandhomme 7 (Eng 59-2)

    Yep, pressure...

    A horrid, horrid shot. Joe Root feels the need to score, tries an ugly hoik at a loose, wide one and just nicks that to the keeper.

    It's all gone quiet over there...

    Colin de Grandhomme trundles one into the pads of Joe Root and goes up for an appeal - always missing down leg side though.

    Root then loses his composure a bit and tries to hammer the big man back to Euston - misses it by a mile!

    Pressure?

  4. Eng 59-1published at 16 overs

    Root 7, Bairstow 32

    Just three from Lockie's first over. Atmosphere building...

    This is incredible cricket.

    Joe Root is looking to be the rug to tie this front room of an innings together. He's only scored six from 25 balls but he' still in there.

    This is wonderfully poised. We may not have had the beat-em-up cricket we were promised back in May so far in the final but a close, low-scoring game is always more exciting to watch at the end.

    Four very fluky runs. England are riding their fortune.

    Root 3, Bairstow 29

    Jonny Bairstow then almost chops on to his stumps, a thick inside edge that runs away for four!

    Fifty up. England - and Bairstow - having some lives this afternoon...

    Listen to that cheer! There is relief in that.

    More great bowling from Henry, inducing Bairstow into a false stroke but he pulls out of it in time - and then clips a beauty of a four through midwicket!

    A huge, guttural cheer.
