Roy gets his fifty as well, scores now level. Rest of England batsmen get your arses in gear, if Leach can do it, so can you...
Lunch, Day Two
England 122-1 (30 overs), scores are level.
Leach 60* (107 balls, 9 fours) Roy 52* (48 balls, 1 fours, 1 six)
After 20 wickets in the day yesterday, this morning has been a batters paradise. Nightwatchman Jack Leach and Jason Roy have cashed in, just 4 runs short of the 100 partnership. Only the hapless Burns perished for a seriously disappointing 6.

Game order restored now, single innings match basically. We'll probably declare after tea tomorrow sometime and roll them over on Saturday and yesterday will be written off as a bad day at the office due to complacency or something (until it happens again in the first Ashes test)
Rain and thunderstorms forecast for tomorrow afternoon.

Unlucky, great knock though...
WOW what a shambles... schoolboy running from Joe Root... absolutely sold Joe Denly down the river 
194-4 (52.2), leading by 72 and the pressure will be on.
52.2 W McBrine to Root, OUT, flicked to square leg, and that's an appalling mix-up! Oh my word, Root was two-thirds down the pitch when he sent Denly back. There was no hope whatsoever of him even being in the frame as McBrine whipped the bails off, and suddenly England are keenly aware that a 122-run deficit is no small thing!
JL Denly run out (O'Brien/McBrine) 10 (31b 0x4 0x6)

Rubbish run out when no pressure on...
194-4

Bairstow given LBW on a pair... reviewing but looked pretty out to me
Yes he's out... wasted review too...
194-5 (53.5)
72-5 with Ali and Woakes on a pair as well.... looking grim
