Jamie Lillywhite and Callum Matthews

  1. Here's a snapshot of Jason Roy's innings, 24 off 22 balls with two fours and a six before falling in the sixth over.

  2. Eng 71-3

    Target 173

    Two short ones from Young and they are both savagely pulled to the boundary by Billings, his first two scoring shots.

    Paul Barrow: That might be the Vinceiest of all the Vince innings. Gorgeous shots, made 20, out driving nicked behind.

    Neil Virani: Thank you, James Vince for being so James Vince. This surreal situation feels a little more normal.

  4. Eng 62-3

    Target 173

    Banton may feel he has to curb his naturally attacking instincts here following those early wickets and McBrine is not giving him anything to feast upon, a bottom edge for two takes the Somerset man to five from 16 balls.

    My wish has come true, Banton getting his chance to show some of that South-Western swagger (kiss of death here we come).

  6. Eng 59-3

    Target 173

    Sam Billings is also in ahead of his captain and starts with the most emphatic defensive shot and call of "no" of the day. The first powerplay accounts for England's top three.

  7. Tymal Mills
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    They can certainly dream! It's another start for James Vince, but I think there was a little bit of extra bounce.

  8. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at the Ageas Bowl

    Look James Vince up in the dictionary and you'd see that innings.

    WICKET

    Vince c Tucker b Young 25 (Eng 59-3)

    But how often do we see this? Vince goes for a fluent 25, seeking another boundary. Edged through to the keeper.

  10. Michael McNamee
    BBC Test Match Special

    England look like a team who have got takeaway food ordered to their room for 19:30!

  11. Eng 59-2

    Not such a pretty stroke this time from Vince, second slip would have swallowed it but there is only the one in place as the aggrieved Young trudges back to his mark.

  12. Isa Guha
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    James Vince is really finding his feet here, hitting shots all around the ground. He is making it look effortless.

  13. Eng 54-2

    Target 173

    Another boundary for the elegant Vince, sweeping McBrine and it brings up 2,000 List A runs for him at his home ground.

  14. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at the Ageas Bowl

    Those two shots from Vince would have had the locals purring.

    When he plays like that you wonder how he hasn't become a world beater.

  15. Eng 49-2

    Target 173

    Much more like it from Vince, latching on to Young's slower ball and punching it with the classical high elbow for four through mid-off, before adding another boundary with a flick off his pads. A third four follows, standing tall and pulling nonchalantly.

  16. Tymal Mills
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That was suspect running from England - we've seen both sides guilty of it now. If it was a better throw it might have been interesting.

  17. Eng 37-2

    Target 173

    The diminutive McBrine holding an excellent line on off stump and Banton wants a single but is sent back by Vince, having got halfway down the pitch. The batsmen confer in the centre. Edgy start.

  18. Jonny Bairstow fell in the third over.

  19. Michael Carberry
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    Tom Banton is a very, very powerful ball-striker.

  20. Eng 36-2

    Target 173

    Tom Banton is in at four, much excitement about the 21-year-old Somerset batsman playing his fourth ODI.
