Live Twenty20 cricket updates from 10pm GMTEmail James with your thoughts on the game
3rd over: England 29-0 (Salt 18, Buttler 9) Hosein is angling the ball in at the stumps, Salt goes back and does well to get the bat down on it just in time. Shades of Indiana Jones and his hat with that one. Salt carves for two through point where a lumbering Andre Russell does the fielding. Shot! Buttler pounces on a full ball and smears it down the ground all along the baize for four!
2nd over: England 22-0 (Salt 15, Buttler 5) Jason Holder, impossibly tall with a vast chest as impressively wide as a Smeg fridge bustles in but struggles with his radar. A couple of leg side wides are gifted before he lands one straight that Buttler meets with a bunt back over his head (no mean feat against Holder) for four. Nine off the over in total.
