- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 and now Roy finds mid-off as well! 110kph slower ball, Roy is completely done as he reaches for it, lobs high in the air it's a dolly for the captain 24/22.3 a cutter does the trick! This was fuller, outside off, Hales tried to go over mid-off but couldn't get the leverage, off the bottom of the bat which twists in his hands, and Williamson was able to backtrack from the edge of the circle 22/112.1 finds deep midwicket! Round the wicket, Malan uses his feet, gets too far underneath this one without the distance 117/313.6 does him! He's deserved that. Tosses up a leg-break, Buttler is down the pitch, aims through the leg side is comprehensively beaten. Simple stumping 123/417.5 scooped into the stumps...Billings just can't get going in England colours. A delivery very wide outside off, Billings shuffles across the crease and plays it straight into the timber 165/518.6 fuller, wide, driven to deep cover...this one he didn't hit quite sweetly, but straight to the man 176/619.4 into the pitch, back of a length, a slower ball, swung down to long-off...dot ball, but Morgan will be on strike 187/7Extras5 (nb 1, w 4)TOTAL194/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.7)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Alex Hales, 2.3 ov), 2-24 (Jason Roy, 3.1 ov), 3-117 (Dawid Malan, 12.1 ov), 4-123 (Jos Buttler, 13.6 ov), 5-165 (Sam Billings, 17.5 ov), 6-176 (David Willey, 18.6 ov), 7-187 (Liam Dawson, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.3 bowled, Guptill's gone! Malan gets his maiden international wicket, keeps tossing 'em up and it slid under another attempted heave to the leg side to hit the woodwork 164/36.3 slogged across the line but it goes straight up, Rashid gets him! Tosses up the googly and it spun away from him as he heaved to leg, flew off the toe of the bat, straight to deep backward square where Willey clung on as he went to ground 78/111.1 bowled 'im! Dawson punches the air, Williamson missed and the ball hit middle and leg! He was attempting to make some room, cramped by Dawson's line and it dipped under his flailing swipe, rattled the timbers 100/217.5 slower ball, scooped into the off side, taken safely just beyond the ring! Taylor swinging hard and done by the lack of pace, Morgan snaffles it - England still a chance? 173/4Extras13 (b 1, lb 8, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL192/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.6)Fall of wickets: 1-78 (Colin Munro, 6.3 ov), 2-100 (Kane Williamson, 11.1 ov), 3-164 (Martin Guptill, 16.3 ov), 4-173 (Ross Taylor, 17.5 ov)
