Uh oh. Let's hope the skipper hasn't gone down with the lurgy.

We said Jos Buttler didn't have much of a smile on his face, he just left the pitch during that wicket but he is back now.
Target 340
Colin Ackermann is the new man. He's joining Durham for the new season.

We're saying he's just starting to get going. It's off the middle of the bat, it's straight at Moeen Ali for the catch.
O'Dowd c Moeen b Woakes 5 (Ned 12-1)
Chris Woakes had Max O'Dowd on toast, but the wicket does not fall in an expected way. Rather than offering an edge, O'Dowd produces a limp push to mid-on, where Moeen Ali pouches it in the bread basket. Woakes gives a huge roar. He's been good with bat and ball today.

It’s understandable that people are frustrated with this England team. They have massively underperformed at this World Cup. But they are human beings with all sorts of factors affecting their performance. We celebrate when they do well, we should stick with them when they’re struggling, and not be so quick to take our frustrations out by criticising individuals.

Might as well not bother then, Jack.

Jack: The Champions Trophy is a pointless competition with no purpose other than making more money for the ICC. Frankly I would rather see the Dutch in it, at least getting them more exposure to the big teams that they’ve shown they can already compete with.
Target 340
We've had an anonymous text calling for Sam Billings to take over as captain. I feel a sense of deja vu.

This is brilliant bowling from Chris Woakes.
Target 340
Now a leading edge! Could have gone anywhere. Plug Woakes in. Let him bowl 10 off the reel...

In 16 balls, the only run off the bat has been the dropped catch from Root.

Woakes has got the perfect conditions to bowl here.
Target 340
Woakes is bowling trimmers here. Moving it both ways. Max O'Dowd really has no idea.

England scored 124 runs in the final 10 overs of their innings.
Target 340
I'm in the camp of Buttler staying on as white-ball captain. A new generation of players will need experienced leadership and there are few alternative options. But, so far in this game he has shown to be below his best with the bat, gloves and decision-making. Tough place a for a skipper to be. I wonder if he should give up the gloves? He's been tetchy in press conferences, too.
Target 340
David Willey shares the new ball. Earlier on he became the first England player in an ODI to hit a six first ball then be out second ball.

The England captain is not in the right headspace at the minute. Without any question that is Jos Buttler's catch.
Jonathan Agnew
BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special
It's hard to see how wide Root was standing. Why has Buttler not gone for it? I don't know.
