ENG vs AUS 5th ODI Live
No run.
1 run.
1 run.
2 runs.
Fuller, around middle, clipped towards short mid-wicket.
Adam Zampa returns. 5-0-54-2 so far.
Outside off, punched towards mid off.
Fuller, around middle, watchfully defended.
Brydon Carse walks in at number 8, replacing Ben Duckett. He is no mug with the bat either.
OUT! CAUGHT! Big wicket for Australia and Kate Cross on air says, 'One risk too many' for the shot played by Ben Duckett. But that is how it is. Had this cleared the ropes, we would have been praising for the launch of attack by Duckett to put Australia under pressure. After the previous six, Head tosses this up again but with a good change of pace. He slows it through the air and Duckett is out of his crease again. Tries to go over mid on but is early into the shot as he is not to the pitch of the ball. Skies it off the top edge over mid off where Josh Hazlewood runs back and takes it calmly. The entire County Ground stands up as one to applaud Duckett as he walks off for a fantastic 107 (91) and England are 238/6 after 33.4 overs. 4/36 in the last 53 balls.
SIX! SMOKED! Flighted around middle, and with mid on and mid off, that is a free hit for Duckett. Jumps out of his crease and sends it sailing over long on.
Around off, pushed back to the bowler.
Outside off, punched to deep point for a single.
DRINKS BREAK. A better passage of play for Australia since that Brook wicket. They have conceded 29/3 in the last 49 balls. But it could also be the calm before the storm. England might have slowed down a touch but they still are in a commanding position. They just need to aim to bat out their 50 overs and given the firepower, 400 could still be on. Australia have to try and pick up wickets but if they pick up Ben Duckett quickly, there could be massive damage control. Smith continues to try and search for a balm to soothe his headache, continuously rotating his bowlers. Here comes bowler number 8 - Travis Head. That leaves out Smith himself, his disciple, Marnus Labuschagne and the keeper, Josh Inglis.
Around off, Jacob punches it through point for one more.
Fuller, around leg stump, Bethell defends again, Just before this ball, Duckett walked down the pitch and advised Bethell to take it easy and not give it away. Australia might be sensing a comeback but there is plenty of time left in the game for England to still post a formidable total. Though, after previous game's 126, how much is formidable for Australia is for their batters to comprehend. Tonight, they will be batting under lights again, aided with moisture from the rainy atmosphere.
Similar ball, this time it is defended watchfully.
Full, on leg stump, Jacob Bethell pushes it to the left side of Short who stops the ball.
Comes down the track but gets out a bit too early. Short sees that and fires in a yorker and Duckett just about squeezes it through square leg for a single.
Fuller and quicker, on leg stump, Ben Duckett defends.
