Debutant Will Jacks is looking good so far for England. He’s scored an unbeaten 36 runs off just 17 balls within the power play and his innings included 8 fours so far!

An excellent knock from Will Jacks on his England debut. 40 off 22 deliveries!

How do you rate the sweep shots of Ben Duckett? :wink:
