    The England boys are absolutely flying at the moment.

    Hales 23, Salt 26

    The fifty comes up for England, inside three overs. Unbelievable.

    Alex Hales smashes a drive for yet another four.

    Hales is flying as well. A bit of a nothing ball from Wasim and there's no deception in the pitch.

    Target 170

    And that's another four through the leg side.

    This time a much finer pull shot.

    Target 170

    Drink it in folks, England are on fire. Wasim takes pace off but Hales spots it, pulling through the leg side for four more.

    Salt is giving himself some room and getting that front leg out of the way. He's able to free his hands and put Wasim under pressure straightaway.

    Salt 25, Hales 11

    New bowler, same big-hitting from England's openers.

    That is pure power from Hales. England are putting a huge dent in that target of 170.

    Stunning shot from Alex Hales. Straight bat, back-foot shot and he timed it beautifully.

    And now Hales drives to the ropes for four.

    Dahani's having a shocker, England are flying!

    Salt plays that pick-up ball very well. We saw that in The Hundred this year. He's very difficult to bowl at when he's in this kind of form.

    Oh this is even better!

    Lovely drive. You will not see a better stroke than that all night. It was a bit of a long half-volley and Salt, leaning into the ball, plays the sort of cricket shot that would suit any format of the game.

    Target 170

    RE 15:58, Phil Salt is the new leader with a peach of a cover drive for a third boundary of his innings.

    It's been a rapid start so far.

  17. Eng 10-0published at 1 over

    Target 170

    Strong start from England. 10 runs from the first over. More of the same please.

    Whipped. Loads of wrist. It wasn't a bad delivery but it races away for four.

  20. Eng 8-0published at 0.3 overs

    Target 170

    More like it from Salt who slaps one through the leg side for another boundary.
