Quiet over to finish the Powerplay. Both sides reasonably happy so far...

 
5.6
Bravo to Hales, no run, full and loopy outside off, Hales mistimes a drive into the covers
 

"Maybe I am not in touch with English cricket these days so could anyone tell me why Broad and Anderson not featuring in the current setup?" Oh Nisar, you old fuddy duddy... They were pretty much canned in limited-overs cricket after the 2015 World Cup, to preserve them for Tests. Although Broad does have ambitions to still play ODIs

 
5.5
Bravo to Root, 1 run, slightly back of a length outside off, dragged down to midwicket
5.5
Bravo to Root, 1 wide, gets this one wrong, 58mph and looping down the leg side, Root gets low-low-low and then watches it by
5.4
Bravo to Hales, 1 run, another cutter, on off stump and punched down the ground for one
5.3
Bravo to Hales, no run, rolls the fingers over it again, down the leg side and Hales gets a tickle on it, Ramdin dives across to collect
5.2
Bravo to Root, 1 run, slower ball, drifting towards leg stump, dabbed into a gap
5.1
Bravo to Hales, 3 runs, touch straight to begin with, flicked through backward square leg, Russell does well to prevent four running round the boundary
 

Here's DJ Bravo, the funkmeister into the attack
