Moeen slashes and slashes hard. Plays in the air straight to Maxwell at point, who spills this one. A single as the ball parries towards deep backward point. (ENG: 61/4)

Marcus Stoinis gets his wicket. Nothing ball outside the off stump, Brook tries to punch but gets the thin outside edge, which carries through to the keeper. England are in deep trouble. (ENG: 54/4)
More frustration for Ben Stokes. Adam Zampa gets rid of Ben Stokes. Stokes sits down on one knee but fails to connect with the across-the-line slog sweep. Once he misses, Zampa hits the stumps. (ENG: 53/3)
CREAMED THROUGH COVERS! David Malan is playing some exquisite strokes. Malan drives it through the extra covers for a beautiful boundary. Stoinis from deep covers runs across and dives but in vain.(ENG: 53/2)

HAMMERED BY MALAN! Cracking shot by Malan. Length ball in the slot of the dangerous Malan who swings hard and deposits it into the stands. (ENG: 34/1)
Adam Zampa takes a skier to remove Jos Buttler. Cummins with the wicket. Back of a-length delivery on the off. Buttler picks it up early and tries to pull this into the leg side but gets the leading edge. That was way high in the night sky, and Zampa at short third man couldn't judge it. (ENG: 21/1)
Hales gets off the mark with a boundary. Fuller delivery, is right in the arc. (ENG: 21/0)
Buttler is looking good here. Back of a length and Buttler picks it up and pulls this over the square leg fielder, where Maxwell tries to catch it but misses it and the ball rockets away to the boundary. (ENG: 17/0)
STAND AND DELIVER! Cross seam from Hazlewood and Buttler quickly on this shot and plays this aerially over the infield. (ENG: 12/0)
Buttler survives. Fuller delivery, angling into the pads. Buttler closes his bat face early to the flick into the leg side but misses it and gets hit on the pads. A loud appeal for LBW by Cummins and up goes the finger. Buttler takes a review. Ball tracking shows no bat involved and ball tracker shows a missing leg stump. (ENG: 6/0)
Buttler is away with the boundary. Fuller delivery, is right in the slot. Buttler throws his hands at and drives this into the gap, past the cover point fielder towards the boundary fence. (ENG: 4/0)

"We have bowled first as well. We have two changes. Chris Woakes and Mark Wood are out. It is about resting them. Jordan and Willey come in. We were in the game during the big chase for the major part of it. We would love to continue the same again. Good wicket to bat and hopefully put a big total."
"I would like to bowl first because of the flat surface which I would like to take advantage of with the new ball. Yes, we have done a lot of changes today in our playing 11."
