75th over: England 324-5 (Brook 133, Stokes 41) Will O’Rourke opens up, with six overs remaining until the second new ball is available. Brook is on strike and quickly off it, tucking behind square on the leg side for one. Stokes throws the bat at a wide one but only connects with the air; he leaves the next one well alone. I wonder if he’s keen for a thrash before the new ball? He nails a pull shot for four to bring up a century stand.

Ben Stokes and Harry Brook, all smiles, make their way out to the middle. Let’s get going.
