  1. 6 runs

    Eng 108-2

    BIG!

    Dawid Malan breaks a quiet patch by hitting one absolutely miles.

  2. Colin Ingram
    Former South Africa batter on BBC Two

    Eoin Morgan was an unbelievable servant to the game so for a guy like Jos Buttler to come in and create his own mark and stamp on the team is a tricky job. But he will be hoping these next three T20 games can get some winning combinations and generate some confidence.

  3. Eng 101-2

    England coach Matthew Mott scribbles something after an over from Maharaj that costs only three.

    Tactics or just a doodle?

  4. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Jonny Bairstow has got his eye in and it feels like he is going into launch mode.

  5. Eng 100-2

    The Hundred's up. Not that one...

  6. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Dawid Malan is particularly good in this format when he gets a start.

    In 13 of the last 19 occasions he has reached 25 he has gone on to make a half-century with a strike rate of over 180.

  7. Eng 98-2

    Malan 32, Bairstow 33

    Shamsi lobs down a wide now on what is becoming a difficult night. The left-arm leg-spinner is going at 17.5 runs per over.

    Things were looking a little iffy for England at the start but Bairstow and Malan have them eyeing 200 now.

  8. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Jonny Bairstow is putting his foot to the floor here.

    That's not short of a length, that's a long hop.

  9. 6 runs

    Eng 94-2

    Jonny Bairstow swipes again in his muscular fashion for four.

    He'd make a good lumberjack that lad.

    That's even bigger! Same shot but six.

  10. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    It's hard to describe how difficult that shot is but he made it look easy.

  11. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Sublime. That is just incredible timing.

  12. 6 runs

    Eng 83-2

    Beautiful!

    Dawid Malan lifts a ball from Shamsi over extra cover for six.

    That may be the shot of the night so far.

  13. Eng 77-2

    Klaasen is getting more grief from the crowd now. That drop came after he let a ball under his legs in the first over too.

  14. Here's the end of Jason Roy's difficult night...

  15. Eng 73-2

    That's a life for Jonny Bairstow, then.

  16. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    He's walked in from the boundary and it has gone over his head. That's a cardinal sin when you are fielding on the boundary. You've got to be able to pick the length up.

  17. dropped catch

    Bairstow dropped on 12

    Down! What's gone on there?

    Jonny Bairstow smokes one towards the deep mid-wicket boundary where Heinrich Klaasen is standing.

    It looks a straightforward chance but Klaasen doesn't really pick it up and only casually sticks a hand in the air as the ball sails over for six.

  18. Eng 66-2

    Shamsi is known as the magician which is what Tuffers is referencing there. His second ball spins a fair way.

    Somewhere on the boundary edge Adil Rashid is stroking his chin with a hint of glee.

  19. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    That's magic by Dawid Malan.

  20. 6 runs

    Eng 65-2

    This is six too!

    Dawid Malan thwacks a loosener from spinner Tabraiz Shamsi into the stand.
