England have hit Neil Wagner out of the attack.

He is replaced by Scott Kuggeleijn.

Tim Southee is taking a more conventional approach with the ball compared to Wagner's short-ball effort.

Ollie Pope even leaves a ball outside off stump.

Dropped on the bank! There are some people ducking for cover, others trampling over their mates to try to take a crowd catch.

I may have been light on my sweepstake answer. Ollie Pope adds the second sinx in another expensive Wagner over.

But now Joe Root takes on the attack on Wagner's bouncers!

These two England batters don't seem to care about the fielders lurking in the deep for this exact shot.

Yes, Andrew. Yes I am.

Joe Root adds another boundary but this is a more mature, sensible flick off the pads through mid-wicket.

I always laugh when I see people say Root hasn't taken to Bazball. He scored three hundreds in four matches at the start of the summer.

Just the 16 from the over then.

That said, I doubt Neil Wagner will mind that much.

Maybe I should have gone higher!

It's the same shot from Ollie Pope but this has gone further onto the grassy bank.

Ollie Pope pulls Neil Wagner over the fine leg boundary?

Shall we take a sweepstake of how many more sixes we'll see today.

I'll go with 14.

Here's another nervy moment for Joe Root and his fans as Tim Southee gets the ball to move off the pitch. Root ends up playing an uncertain, wafty little drive and misses.

Inside-edged just past his stumps!

That was almost an early end for Joe Root.

Joe Root's role in this team is to be the leading run-scorer and be the main man. For the last six or seven years, he has been England's best batter and one of, if not the, best batter in the world.

He is an extraordinary player. He is so hard to bowl at.

I'm wondering whether you have any examples of bad cricketing nicknames given to you, a friend or a team-mate, following on from this Nighthawk business. If so let me know.

Root is off the mark.

Here's Joe Root.

Some people who tweet us during these matches think he should be dropped...

I'm surprised Stephan hasn't turned up as his hero Phil Taylor. Don't ever let Stephan speak to you about who is England's greatest sportsperson...

It's 'Dress-Up Day' at the Bay Oval. The media have been encouraged to get involved, but I am unprepared. The best I could have offered was my son's Paw Patrol pyjamas.

Well there is no real Hawky business in the first over. Stuart Broad does get the first run of the day but it comes with a simple prod outside off stump rather than an elaborate swing of the bat.

Neil Wagner follows that by aiming a succession of deliveries at Ollie Pope's throat.

Tom: Stayed up to watch a Broad batting masterclass.
