Chasing a tricky total of 286, England suffered a top-order collapse as they slumped to 26 for three inside the first 10 overs.

That's it from us!
Thank you for joining us today. We will be back tomorrow with another cracking contest between New Zealand and Pakistan from Edgbaston.
Short ball from Mitchell Starc, Rashid goes for the pull but top edges it over the keeper's head for a boundary. Next ball smashed over to the cover fence.
Glenn Maxwell has pulled off a blinder here at Lord's. The momentum was taking him over the line, so he tosses the ball back to his skipper Aaron Finch and England lose their eighth wicket. Chris Woakes departs for 26.
Moeen Ali's poor run continues as he departs for just six runs. After hitting Behrendorff for a boundary on the previous ball, he gets beaten by the seam movement and Alex Carey behind stumps completes a simple catch.
Mitchell Starc produces one of the best yorkers of this World Cup to dismiss Ben Stokes for 89. It was quick and right on the money and Stokes could not have played it any better.
Chris Woakes joins the party and finishes the over with a boundary. Watching Ben Stokes from the other end, probably gave Woakes the courage to switch gears. The ball was pitched short, he read that quickly and pulled it to midwicket fence for another boundary.
Pat Cummins overpitches the ball just slightly and Chris Woakes uses his wrists beautifully to gets his first boundary. The timing on that shot was just immaculate.
Steve Smith saves some runs for his side with his full-stretch dive. Australia have been excellent field today. They have stopped runs and taken good catches.
Ben Stokes is targeting Glenn Maxwell. He hits two sixes in first three balls of the over. The first six was hit off a short ball while the second one was a result of his sheer power. Is this going to be his approach from here on, more importantly can he turn things around from here?
Steve Smith once again fails to hit the target. From England's point of view, there was no need of calling such a risky run. Woakes responded to save Stokes but a direct hit would have meant curtains for him.
Usman Khawaja takes a blinder to dismiss Jos Buttler. Buttler can't believe his luck as that ball deserved the punishment but he found the only fielder stationed at deep square leg. It's a big moment in the match, probably the one which can determine the outcome of the match.
Marcus Stoinis overpitches the ball to Jos Buttler and he smashes it wide of mid on fielder, who was a mere spectator on that occasion, as the ball went to the fence like a trace of a bullet.
Ben Stokes chips Nathan Lyon over his head and the fielder at mid on fails to read the bounce, gets beaten by the pace and the ball beats him to reach the ropes.
Ben Stokes plays the ball to midwicket and calls for a risky single, Steve Smith's throw misses its aim giving Buttler a life as he was outside his crease when the ball crossed the stumps.
Marcus Stoinis gets the ball to hit Jos Buttler's pads who was shuffling outside off stump. Finch takes the review despite wicketkeeper Alex Carey suggesting him not to and guess what he was right as the replay shows the impact to be outside off stump. Australia lose their review.
Despite being under the pump, Ben Stokes is playing his natural game. He once again charges down the track and lofts the ball over mid on for another boundary.
Marcus Stoinis gets the ball to bounce more than what Ben Stokes anticipated. It went closely past his bat, the bowler and wicket-keeper shout for a caught behind but there was nothing in it and the umpire has turned it down.
England bat deep but they need to build a decent partnership. So, for England Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes will be the key. Both are looking good at the moment.
Jason Behrendorff gets his second wicket of the match as Jonny Bairstow departs for 27. Full marks to Aaron Finch for placing the fielder at deep square leg. Bairstow was late for his pull and paid the price for it.
Bowling from off the pavillion end for the first time in the day, Jason Behrendorff generates a leading edge from Ben Stokes on the very first ball but it falls just short of diving cover fielder. A lucky escape for him.
Finch brings in Nathan Lyon for the first time into the attack. Ben Stokes takes a single on the second ball of his over to bring up the team fifty in 13th over.
Ben Stokes gets off the mark in style on the 12th ball of his innings. He charged down the track and smashed the ball to deep extra cover fence to earn a boundary.
