  1. Eng 43-1published at 3.5 overs

    Jason Roy smacks it straight down the ground and inside the dive of David Miller for a one-bouncer four.

    He in no way rates the bowling of JJ Smuts.

    There was a huge thud as that one hit the roof of the media centre.

    Pick of the lot!

    Jason Roy banjaxes this one down the ground and on to the roof.

  4. Eng 33-1published at 3.3 overs

    Better from Roy as he lofts from in to out over long off for four.

    Eng 29-1published at 3.2 overs

    Jason Roy, you lucky boy.

    The England opener booms a big drive out to long on and the cries of catch go up.

    David Miller does take it above his head but loses his balance and falls back.

    He tries to throw the ball up to take the rebound but can't stop himself tumbling over the rope and the ball lands a couple of yards away. That's six.

    Slow left-armer JJ Smuts is on.

    Kevin Ticehurst: The form of Jos Buttler is dreadful right now, needs to have a break and get his head back in the game. Hopefully the IPL will rejuvenate him next month.

    Target 178

    Dale Steyn makes his first mistake by sliding it down leg side, allowing Jonny Bairstow to deftly clip it fine for four.

    Dave Price: When you turn the cricket on, and there's an advert and you just know that means bad news...

  10. Eng 19-1published at 2.3 overs

    Haha. Dale Steyn sends down a very loopy off-break that Jonny Bairstow just gets his bat down on in time to keep it out.

    That probably looked like a beamer at first but dipped sharply.

    Bairstow and Steyn smile at each other.

    So now England have their ODI openers in.

    Jonny Bairstow joins Jason Roy in the middle.

    Dale Steyn has his first wicket back in international cricket!

    Jos Buttler goes after a back of a length delivery with a booming drive but just chips it up off the toe end.

    David Miller makes no mistake and Buttler has to go.

    Wow. Jos Buttler absolutely batters a short ball through mid-wicket for four. Gorgeous noise off the bat.

  15. Eng 12-0published at 1.4 overs

    Lungi Ngidi concedes just one from his first four balls. Top bowling, plenty of variations.

    Target 178

    A brief mix-up as Jos Buttler tries to run off the misfield but Jason Roy sends him back.

    Buttler scurries back in time.

  18. Eng 11-0published at 0.5 overs

    Jos Buttler opening the batting for England in T20s has the potential to be a very great thing.

    A wristy whip from a ball on off out through mid-wicket for four more.

  19. Eng 7-0published at 0.4 overs

    Shot! A beauty of a square drive from Jos Buttler, placing it perfectly between the fielders to find the fence.

    Target 178

    Good ball from Steyn first up and Roy glances it to backward point for a single.
