Crash, bang, wallop. Harry Brook goes back into his crease and heaves Keshav Maharaj over the rope for a maximum.
He's going along nicely now.

Jos Buttler with a delicious cut off the back foot to Anrich Nortje. Lovely timing from Buttler.
Harry Brook farms the strike well, before Buttler is denied a boundary with a chop down to third man after Wayne Parnell dives brilliantly to field the ball just in front of the rope.

Strange Ben Duckett went down the ground give he's such a prolific sweeper of the ball.
Jos Buttler gives him a glimpse what he should have been doing with a powerful reverse sweep for four to Keshav Maharaj's fourth ball.
Nicely done by the England skipper.

My only issue with the current ODI side is the balance feels a bit off and I think we're a batter light, but hopefully that will be addressed once everyone is back.

England skipper Jos Buttler is the new man in, and he's happy to knock Marco Jansen into the gaps to get himself going.
Harry Book, on his best behaviour now Buttler is his partner, leaves a hooks alone and plays a controlled pull for a single.

Duckett c sub (J Malan) b Maharaj 20 (Eng 82-3)
Image source, ReutersSpin for the first time today as Keshav Maharaj comes into the attack and, if we're being honest, Ben Duckett has a bit of brain fade.
The left hander dances down the track, doesn't completely get to the pitch of the ball, and sends it skywards into the hands of Janneman Malan at deep mid-on.
Duckett had done all the hard work to steady the ship with Harry Brook and then just gives his wicket away. Duckett's a good player of spin, but why not take a look at Maharaj?

Macro Jansen bangs in the third ball of his next over in short and Harry Brook takes him on. Brook has not quite got enough bat on that and the ball hangs in the air on its way down at backward square.
Has Wayne Parnell bottled a catch there? He's certainly not come in racing in an attempt to take that. Guilty of daydreaming, maybe. Fair to say Jansen does not look best pleased.

Phil-Boson: Struggling to understand why people can't see that this (and subsequent ODI's) have been a very under-strength England team. Imagine Bairstow, Root, Stokes, Wood playing...

Heinrich Klaasen will take the gloves. He's just dashed off to dig out his wicketkeeping gear.

Image source, Getty ImagesQuinton de Kock is in agony.
The ball deflects off Harry Brook's pad after a wild swipe to the final ball of Anrich Nortje's over and De Kock sticks out a paw to prevent the deflection getting past him.
It strikes him on the thumb and he's in a bit of strife. We have a short delay while the medical staff come on to assess it.

Great to get a text all the way from Sweden, David.
Jonty Rhodes was coaching Sweden's national cricket team last time I heard. Is he still there?
Meanwhile, Harry Brook takes on the hook against Anrich Nortje and lofts it in the grass bank behind square. Nortje bounces Brook again and he picks up four more off a miscued pull.

Regarding doom monger James at 0849. We are missing Jacks, Stokes, Root, Hales, Livingstone, YJB from the batting. I reckon we'll get out of the group.

Right, we're back under way and...hello...Harry Brook has half-ramped Marco Jansen's first ball after drinks for four over the slip cordon.
Jansen goes short to Brook with his fourth ball. The Yorkshire batter takes on - and misses - the hook shot.
Good battle this.
