Over-by-over updates; 6pm BST start at Trent BridgeGet in touch! Email Tim or tweet @TimdeLisle
2nd over: England 16-0 (Bairstow 14, Jacks 2) At the other end it’s Matt Henry, bearing extra pace. That’s fine by Jonny B, who clips him for four over midwicket, then for six over square leg, with two measured strokes. We may be seeing a few sixes tonight.
1st over: England 4-0 (Bairstow 3, Jacks 1) Southee pitches it up, looking for some swing, not finding much, and both openers get bat on ball without disturbing the Toblerone. Trent Bridge is a high-scoring ground, so England will need to start a lot better than they did at Edgbaston.
