30th over: England 224-3 (Root 72, Buttler 1) England’s past two victories, chasing 340-plus, came without a single run from Jos Buttler, who missed one game and made a duck (as captain) in the other. He’s already done better today, getting off the mark with a push to leg and a determined sprint.
Morgan’s top-edged pull, which took a tile off a roof a few overs ago, now brings his downfall. The bouncer was too far to the off side for him to fetch it, and he gives Abid Ali an easy catch at square leg. A tame end to a fabulous innings of 76 off 64 balls – superb acceleration from a sedate start.
