  1. Here's David Warner dropping Ben Duckett.

    Enjoy.

  2. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at The Oval

    The people in the crowd to my right are making some strange noises this morning. All action stuff.

    This over from Pat Cummins was more dangerous than all of his overs at Old Trafford combined.

    He looked tired in Manchester I thought, but he's bang on it immediately here.

    It almost gets Ben Duckett dragging on before Zak Crawley plays and misses twice to end the over.

    Superb stuff from the Australia captain.

    Albeit he was travelling, Warner thinks he should probably catch that.

  5. Daniel Norcross

    Duckett absolutely threw his hands at that. Of course it's Warner, who casts his eyes at the heavens.

  6. dropped catch

    Duckett dropped on 30

    Oooh!

    Pat Cummins is into the attack and finds the outside edge of a slashing Ben Duckett.

    It flies towards David Warner at first slip but it bursts through his hands and goes down.

    Big cheers from The Oval crowd.

  7. Please watch this four from Ben Duckett.

    Exquisite.

  8. Vic Marks

    Crawley has been playing like Boycott, more or less.

  9. Eng 41-0

    A quieter over with just a leg bye and a single coming from it.

    England are going along at 5.13 runs per over at the moment.

    Duckett has 30 off 28 and Crawley 10 off 20.

  10. Zak Crawley did survive a very close call to Mitchell Starc in the third over though.

  11. Daniel Norcross

    The rule of Bazball is don't call it Bazball!

  12. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    What's the first rule of Bazball? Don't question it.

  13. Eng 39-0

    Six singles.

    They are coming very, very easily for England.

  14. This was a beautiful shot from Zak Crawley.

  15. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England are just running down the pitch and trying to whack it.

  16. Eng 33-0

    Five singles follow the boundary.

    Too easy for England.

  17. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I bet Josh Hazlewood hasn't had that happen to him too many times. England got themselves in for two overs and are attacking now.

  18. Eng 28-0

    Oh my, SHOT!

    Ben Duckett takes one step down the pitch and smacks Josh Hazlewood past Zak Crawley and away for four.

    That rocketed.

    Duckett purses as lips as if to say "ufff, I've timed that".

  19. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England have looked at how to play the short ball, they're not attacking it or trying to hit it for six. David Warner said he hasn't seen any Bazball. Did you not see that partnership between Root and Crawley? He must've had his eyes shut. A bit like his batting, oh sorry, that slipped out.

  20. Eng 24-0

    England are, as you'd expect, being busy.

    Ben Duckett advances down the pitch and squirts Mitchell Starc through backward point for four, before flicking over square leg for four more.

    11 from the over.
