ENG vs AUS Live Cricket Score

29.5 OUT! TIMBER! Oh, what a delivery! Josh Tongue is having a dream Ashes debut as he now uproots and on-song David Warner. Another big inswinger from the quick but this time he bowls it a touch fuller and on off stump. The ball nips back in a long way and goes through Warner's bat and pad to castle into the top of leg stump. Warner cannot believe it and has to walk back after a solid half-century.  96/2

23.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Josh Tongue gets the big breakthrough for England right on the stroke of Lunch on Day 1. Tongue serves this one on a good length around off, bowling down the slope and this one just comes back in sharply with the angle. Usman Khawaja makes an assured leave but is completely bamboozled as the ball knocks over the top of off stump. Khawaja departs after a bit of a sluggish knock and Tongue's expensive start with the ball has proved to be fruitful in the end for England.  73/1

54.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! A peach of a delivery from Ollie Robinson and Marnus Labuschagne has to walk back just three runs short of his fifty. Robinson bowls this one on a good length around off, slanting it in but the ball pitches and straightens beautifully off the deck. Labuschagne is forced to play at it but gets a feather of an edge through to Jonny Bairstow who makes no mistake and England have the breakthrough.  198/3

95.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Excellent take from Ben Duckett and Josh Tongue has got the big fish. This is on a fullish length outside off, with a bit more pace on it and the ball shapes away down the slope. Smith tries to play an expansive drive and flashes hard at it only to get an outside edge. The ball goes quickly to the left of Duckett at gully and he grabs it brilliantly with both hands. End of a sublime knock from Smith and Tongue gets his third wicket of the innings.  393/8

74.2 OUT! STUMPED! Joe Root delivers big time for England! Gives the ball air and serves it outside off, Travis Head is tempted in the flight and looks to go down the ground. He shimmies down the track and goes through the shot. He is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. The ball spins away sharply and beats him on the outside edge. Jonny Bairstow collects it cleanly and removes the bails with his left glove. Travis Head is nowhere close to the crease and this is a much-needed breakthrough for England.  316/4

74.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Joe Root has two in the over and Australia have now lost half their side! Root comes from 'round the wicket and bowls it short, around off, Cameron Green goes back in the crease and tries to pull this one away. Gets into an awkward position and gets the ball from the splice of his bat. Skies it high in the air and only as far as mid on. James Anderson stationed there settles himself under the ball and reverse cups it in front of his face. All of a sudden, England are back in the game here.  316/5

84.5 OUT! LBW! A brilliant review from England and they have an early breakthrough on Day 2! Comes from 'round the wicket and serves it on a good length, on middle and leg, Alex Carey presses forward to defend. The ball nips back in and catches Carey on back leg. England go up in appeal but the umpire is unmoved. Stuart Broad looks convinced and Ben Stokes goes for the review. The UltraEdge shows no bat and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. The on-field decision is overturned and Alex Carey departs early.  351/6

87.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! James Anderson joins in the act now and removes Mitchell Starc! Bowls from over the wicket and goes slightly full, outside off, Mitchell Starc is tempted to have a go by looking at the length of the delivery. The ball moves away after pitching and Starc gets an outside edge that goes behind the wicket. Jonny Bairstow moves well to his left and makes a tough catch look easy. England have now struck twice inside the first half hour.  358/7

98.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Ollie Robinson has the last laugh here and England are now one wicket away from bowling Australia out. Robinson bangs it in short again but this time it is a bumper and a well-directed one as well. It is around head height and Nathan Lyon looks to take it on. Lyon is in no control of the hook shot and ends up hitting it aerially down to fine leg. Josh Tongue there takes a safe catch and Australia have now lost their nineth wicket.  408/9

100.4 OUT! TAKEN! Ollie Robinson picks up the final wicket and Australia have been bowled out before Lunch on day 2. Short of a good length, angling across the left-hander. Josh Hazlewood backs away a touch and has a slash at it. The ball takes the outside edge and flies past the keeper. Joe Root at first slip though does well to get his hands over his head and holds on to a sharp chance. Australia are all out for 416 runs!  416/10

17.5 OUT! STUMPED! Excellent glove work from Alex Carey and Nathan Lyon gets the breakthrough for Australia. Lyon comes from over the wicket and tosses it up around middle and gets it to turn a  bit. Zak Crawley comes forward looking to clip it away but ends up walking past it. Carey moves swiftly to his left and whips off the bails in a flash. Crawley falls just two runs short of a half-century and Lyon has Test wicket number 496.  91/1

42.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? Australia pick up another wicket with the short ball and Ben Duckett has to walk back two runs short of an Ashes century at Lord's. A well-directed short ball from Josh Hazlewood, bowled from around the wicket and coming in at a difficult height over leg stump. Duckett tries to get inside the line and help it away but the ball goes off the top edge down to fine leg. David Warner there charges in and takes a good catch. End of a solid knock from Duckett.  208/3

38.1 OUT! CAUGHT! The short ball ploy has worked and Cameron Green has got the breakthrough for his side. This is banged in short and outside off, Ollie Pope gets well across his stumps and looks to pull it all the way behind square on the leg side. The ball takes the toe end and goes toward deep square leg. Steven Smith there back pedals a bit and takes a good catch. Pope departs in the forties as well and Australia have their second wicket.  188/2

45.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Another English batter perishes to the short ball! Starc bends his back and bangs it in short, at the batter, Joe Root shapes to pull but gets hurried in his shot. The ball climbs on him and catches the outside edge of Root's bat. The ball lobs in the air towards backward square leg. Steven Smith stationed there sprints forward and puts in a dive. Sticks forward his right hand and grabs it inches off the ground. He does well to hang onto it and pouches it eventually with both hands. England lose another and this time, it is the big wicket of Joe Root.  222/4

67.4 OUT! TAKEN! Mitchell Starc strikes again! The short-ball plan has worked again for the Aussies and this time it is Brook who loses his wicket. Starc steams in and bangs this short and around middle, Brook once again tries to make room but gets hurried and splices it in the air towards extra cover where Pat Cummins moves backwards and takes a simple catch. Harry Brook goes after a good knock and England are six down now!  293/6

61.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! What a start from Mitchell Starc! The England skipper is gone and half of the side are back to the hut now. Mitchell Starc bowls this on a hard length and around middle, nips away a bit, Ben Stokes looks to flick but closes the face of the bat too early and only manages to get a thick outside edge towards the slip cordon where Cameron Green reacts quickly and moves to his right to take a fine catch. A great start for the Aussies!  279/5

72.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Hazlewood joins in the act now and removes Jonny Bairstow! Hazlewood comes from over the wicket and goes fuller, around off, the ball shapes into the batter. Jonny Bairstow looks to go down the ground and tries to clear mid on. Does not get the elevation and ends up hitting straight down the throat of Pat Cummins at mid on who does the rest. A huge blow for England as they lost their last recognised batter.  311/7

75.5 OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust! Travis Head gives the ball air again and bowls it full, on middle and leg, Stuart Broad gets down and goes for the sweep. He fails to connect and gets trapped right in front of the stumps. Australia go up in unison and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. Stuart Broad still goes for the review. The UltraEdge shows no bat and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. The on-field decision will stand and Stuart Broad has to make his way back.  325/9

75.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The move to bring on Travis Head has paid off eventually! Bowls from 'round the wicket and floats it across, on off, Ollie Robinson shimmies down the track and frees his arms. He looks to go down the ground but gets a faint outside edge. Alex Carey pouches it safely and looks to take the bails off. However, he realises that Robison has edged it and the umpire raises his finger. Travis Head has his first wicket of the game and England are now 8 wickets down.  324/8

76.2 OUT! CAUGHT! There it is, England have been bowled out for 325! Pat Cummins bends his back and bangs it in short, from over the wicket, directs it well at the batter. Tongue gets on his toes to get on top of the bounce but fails to do so. Fends it off the upper part of the bat and balloons an easy catch to the substitute fielder Matt Renshaw at short leg. A great bowling display by Australia and they have taken a lead of 91 runs.  325/10

62 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Stuart Broad comes and strikes straightaway! Bends his back and directs it a bumper at the batter, from 'round the wicket, Usman Khawaja gets into a tangle and gets hurried as he tried to hook it away. The ball flies off the top edge of his bat down to fine leg. The substitute fielder Matthew Potts stationed there settles himself under the ball and completes an easy catch. England will be relieved to see the back of Usman Khawaja.  187/3

24.1 OUT! LBW! Josh Tongue draws first blood, or does he? The umpire raises his finger, but Warner goes for the review straightaway. Tongue serves this full, on middle, nips back in sharply, David Warner looks to flick it away but gets beaten by the pace and also plays down the wrong line and gets hit on the pads right in front of the stumps. It looks plumb, to be honest, and UltraEdge shows nothing while Ball Tracking indicates three reds. Warner has to go after a patient knock and England finally have a breakthrough.  63/1

40.1 OUT! TAKEN! James Anderson strikes! England finally gets rid of Marnus Labuschagne and Ben Stokes will be a relieved man now. Anderson lands this short of a length and outside off, Marnus Labuschagne tries to use the width and looks to cut it away but does so uppishly and straight into the hands of Harry Brook at backward point. You do not expect a shot like that from him, but England will not mind at all. Australia two down now!  123/2

62.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Australia are getting a taste of their own medicine and it is Steven Smith now who departs! Tongue goes into the wicket once again, around off, from over the wicket, Steven Smith gets into a position early and tries to turn it around the corner. A bit of extra bounce there does the trick as the ball catches the outside edge of Smith's bat. The ball skies in the air and goes straight down the throat of Zak Crawley at deep backward square leg who makes no mistake. Australia lose two in quick succession and England sense an opening here.  190/4

67.3 OUT! TAKEN! Brilliant grab by Joe Root and another Aussie batter has fallen prey to the short ball ploy! Broad comes from 'round the wicket and bangs it into the wicket, directs it at the batter. Travis Head rises and looks to fend it on the leg side. He is in no position to do so and ends up lobbing it towards short leg. Joe Root moves well to his left and takes a one-handed stunner. He is delighted and so are his teammates. Australia have now lost half their side and Stuart Broad has his second wicket of the innings. Also, with that catch, Joe Root becomes the English player with the most number of catches on the field in Test cricket.  197/5

87.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Cameron Green runs out of patience and hands Ollie Robinson his first wicket of the second innings! Robinson bends his back and bangs it in, on middle, Cameron Green swivels in the crease and pulls it hard. He is unable to keep his shot along the ground and picks out the deep square leg fielder to perfection. Ben Duckett, there does well to grab this hard-hit shot by moving low to his right. Ollie Robinson is all smiles and so he should be.  239/6

So, the target for England will be 371 runs!  279/10

2.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mitchell Starc draws first blood! A soft dismissal but the Aussies won't mind that. He serves this full and down the leg side, Zak Crawley looks to flick it away but only manages to tickle it behind wide of the keeper where Alex Carey dives to his left to take a sharp catch. There is a huge appeal for it, and after taking his time, the umpire raises his finger. Crawley does not take the review and he is disappointed with himself. England with an early blow!  9/1

Australia right on top here!  13/2
