ENG vs AUS Live Cricket Score

6.3 OUT! Chops it on! Once again, a start is wasted by an Aussie batsman. A short ball outside off, Finch goes back to pull but the ball stays low, takes the inner half of the bat and uproots the leg stump! A decent start by Finch but then, he could have carried on longer. Throws his wicket away. 60/1

11.5 OUT! Another soft dismissal. Commentator's curse. Just a few balls ago, on his half century, we had mentioned that Head had failed to convert his start in the previous game. Today, he is playing with a cool head. Well... he has chipped a length delivery straight into Eoin Morgan's hands at short mid-wicket. Australia rise high... only to sink lower... 90/3

6.5 OUT! Straight to the man and Moeen has two in the over! Stoinis has come and Stoinis has gone. And the over is not yet over. A nothing delivery, a nothing shot. The bowler wins, though. Full and around off, Marcus gets down on a knee and looks to sweep it over the man at short fine leg. But all he does is - hit it straight to Jake Ball over there. He is one of the tallest men in the England line-up and perhaps a shorter guy would have missed it. Not Ball, who gobbles the ball. First duck in ODIs for Stoinis!!! 60/2

13 OUT! What a ball, what a piece of stumping! Marsh is outta here! It is not raining in Old Trafford but Australia are amidst old pools of trouble. Moeen tosses this up beautifully outside off and gets Marsh drawn forward. The southpaw lunges to defend but then the ball drifts away, beating the bat. Now, because of that lunge, Shaun's back foot is in the air. Jos Buttler collects and then whips the bails off in a flash! He appeals confidently and when it is taken upstairs, the first replay confirms his ecstasy. Australia so far - Head - 56 and the other three have played like a tail - 22 (Finch), 8 (Marsh) and 0 (Stoinis). 97/4

24.1 OUT! Maiden ODI wicket for the debutant as he strikes on the very first ball of his second spell! Not the greatest of balls but the youngster will not mind. He lands this on a length outside off, pretty harmless and Carey tries to be cheeky, aiming to run this towards third man. Only manages a thin outside edge which goes straight to Jos Buttler. Another promising innings from an Aussie batsman cut short. The stand was decent too - 59 from 60 balls. 159/6

14.1 OUT! It is pain for Paine and Australia! Half the side is back in the hut and we are not even into the first Drinks Break. Around middle and leg, Paine just tucks it to the leg side and the batsmen attempt a quick single. Jos Buttler rushes to the ball, picks it up, is off balance, but still manages to throw it to the bowler's end and voila! Bull's Eye! As they say, when nothing is going for you, NOTHING INDEED IS GOING FOR YOU. Normally, on another day, Buttler would have stumbled, taken extra time, perhaps slipped or maybe, missed the stumps. But what he does instead is hand an unwanted record for Paine - WORST BATTING AVERAGE IN AN ODI SERIES IN ENGLAND BY AN AUSTRALIAN CAPTAIN (MINIMUM 3 INNINGS)!!! 100/5

24.3 OUT! Agar's stumps and Australia - both are in a mess. Total loss of judgement. Curran lands this on a length in line of the stumps and Agar - for reasons known only to him, shoulders arms. Did he expect the ball to go over the sticks? Well, the ball just went straight through and shattered the timber. A 2-ball duck for Agar. 159/7

28 OUT! Yes, that is the second run out of the game. On middle and leg, Richardson works it wide of short fine leg and sets off for a single. Short does not agree and sends his partner back. Kane could have still got back but he stops for a second, as if in disbelief. Then looks to go back. By that time the throw comes in to Buttler from Moeen who collects it in front of his stumps then whips them from behind. Richardson puts in a dive and it is referred upstairs and the first replay makes it clear, though the third umpire takes a lot of replays to confirm... 181/8

31.3 OUT! Stone dead. A short ball, on off, the googly, skids through. Lyon looks to pull but misses and is hit right in front. He starts walking off after the umpire raises his finger but Short asks him to wait and signals for the review. Well, Lyon does not have to wait for long. The Hawk Eye quickly indicates that he is dead in front. 193/9

34.4 OUT! BOWLED! No half century for Short. A long hop, Stanlake goes back to pull but misses and the ball skids through to hit the leg stump! ENGLAND NEED 206 FOR A 5-0 WHITEWASH!!! 205/10

0.4 OUT! Well, that is yet another wicket which has been thrown away today. Australia threw away 9 out of their 10 wickets and now Jason Roy makes sure England have at least one contribution. Tossed up on middle and off, Roy comes down the track, is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and just swings wildly. Misses and the ball hits the timber. Some solace for Australia - they have managed to dislodge the opening stand early this time. 2/1

5.1 OUT! Chops it on! Australia have their second wicket before the break. Stanlake bends his back and lands it on a length outside off. Bairstow looks to run it down to third man but the extra bounce does him in. The ball takes the inside edge and cannons into the stumps. 19/2

13.1 OUT! Loose, loose shot with Lunch around the corner! Totally needless from Hales. Yes, a bad ball from Richardson. Short and wide outside off, there to be hit but without any footwork? Naah... Hales just throws his bat at the ball with his feet probably in clay. Only manages a nick behind and Paine does the rest. Hales walks off fuming as England lose half their side... 50/5

6 OUT! Edged and gone! Boy o boy, Australia have their third. This is a well-deserved and a well-thought out wicket. Root has been having trouble with the short ball outside off and Stanlake produces exactly that. Root looks to push that to the off side but the extra bounce proves to be his downfall. All he manages is an outside edge, straight to Shaun Marsh at first slip. 2 wickets from that over, leaking just 4 runs. Stanlake's figures now read - 3-0-12-2. 23/3

7.4 OUT! Timberrrrr! Stanlake is on fire and Australia are trying to make this into a contest. Morgan commits a bit too early into the shot, jumping down the track, then as is his habit, going back to defend. Stanlake fires in a quick delivery, landing it on a length and then skidding it through. The skipper tries to cover his initial juggling foot movement by a back foot defense but is totally done in by pace. The ball goes through before the bat can come down, hits the flap of his right pad and then deflects onto the woodwork. 27/4

23.1 OUT! The cross-seam delivery does the trick. Stoinis strikes and Australia get the start they would have wanted after the break. It is on a length around off, bounces a touch more and also moves away a touch. Moeen Ali tries to play across the line but closes the face of the bat a bit early. The ball takes the leading edge and goes into the hands of the point fielder. Lyon there takes a simple catch. England slip further and Australia only 4 wickets away from avoiding a whitewash. 86/6

29.3 OUT! There is a spike on Snicko and Curran has been given his marching orders. The bowling change does the trick for Australia. Richardson bowls a sucker ball outside off, Curran cannot resist and he goes after it. There seems to be a sound as the ball passes the bat. The players make a huge appeal but the umpire shakes his head. Paine signals for the 'T'. They go upstairs and Snicko shows a spike. The on-field call has to be overturned and Australia can sniff it now. 114/7

29.4 OUT! Two-in-two for Richardson. Plunkett comes and Plunkett goes. Another ball which is full and wide outside off. A ball which you can shoulder your arms to. But Liam slashes at it, not a shot you want to play on your first ball. The ball takes the outside edge and goes low towards the right of Paine who dives and takes it. The players appeal and this time the umpire does hear it as he raises his finger. Richardson is now on a hat-trick and the Australians are all pumped up at the moment. 114/8

45.5 OUT! Rashid loses his cool eventually and holes out! Stoinis bowls a cross-seam delivery, angling down the leg side, Rashid tries to flick it on the leg side but it takes the top edge balloons in the air towards fine leg. Billy Stanlake comes running in and grabs the catch by diving forward. This game takes another turn. 195/9
