Match Ended   
275/9 (50.0/50)
294/9 (50.0/50)
Australia beat England by 19 runs
So, that's that from the 1st ODI then, it was a super entertainer, to say the least. Australia have romped home comfortably in the end. England will have a chance to make it even come the 2nd ODI. That happens on Sunday, 13th September 2020 at 1300 Local (1200 GMT). Do join us for that and until then, take care!
Josh Hazlewood is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says that he really enjoyed bowling today. Hazlewood is pretty happy to have bowled with the new ball. He says that it was absolutely necessary to get it right at the very start, given the explosive opening combination of Roy and Bairstow that England possesses. Feels that he is happy to play fresh after the T20Is earlier. Says that Mitchell Marsh played really well today. After the practice matches, Hazlewood states that he was dying to get on the ground for the real action.
Eoin Morgan, the English skipper, says that the game slipped away from them in the first 10-12 overs which Australia bowled to them. Feels that England had a chance despite that but in the end, full credits to Australia for the way they played today. Lauds Sam Billings for his fortitude. Morgan believes that England should have kept taking wickets earlier when they bowled so that they could have restricted the total. Feels for Billings on not getting opportunities earlier. On Stokes, Morgan states that Stokes' absence is a big hole in the side, with both bat and ball.
Aaron Finch, Australia's captain, says that it was nice to win and that his side started just the way he wanted them to. Says that there were some cracks early on, in the pitch and that Archer bowled really well to exploit the same. He praises the partnership between Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell and that was key in them getting the total that they got.
For Australia, first of all, it was their batting and precisely the stand between Maxwell and Marsh which bailed them out from 123/5 to 294/9. Once they reached a target close to 300 their bowlers had enough in their kitty to play with and that is what exactly they did. The changing point for them was the 20 overs between Zampa and Hazlewood which closed the doors for England to win this game.
England, on the other hand, would be ruing the fact that they lost too many wickets first up to put the pressure on the middle order. Though Bairstow hung in there but it was a slow innings from him. He was not his usual self as he is while batting in ODIs. Not only wickets but rash shots, some good bowling from the opposition and fielding, in the end, turned out to be the X factor between the two sides. Because of which England found themselves on the losing side.
A win for Australia and all thanks to their bowlers. Starc and Hazlewood started brilliantly with the new ball, especially Josh who's two wickets in the initial period of chase pushed the hosts into a shell. Zampa then came in and stole the show with his 4 wickets. There was a period in the game where the Aussies struggled when Bairstow and Billings were batting but the dismissal of the former opened the gates for Australia and from then on It was always going to be Australia. Billings though fought hard with his ton but lack of support meant that he could not do much.

Mitchell Marsh To Sam Billings OUT!
OUT!  It goes high in the air and Billings is dismissed off the very last ball! He was the only player who held his end still, almost saw his side but ends up holing out in the end. Fullish length ball on off, Billings looked to hoick that over mid-wicket. He gets the height but not the distance.It goes straight down the throat of David Warner at wide long on, who takes a good catch. AUSTRALIA WIN BY 19 RUNS AND TAKE A 1-0 LEAD IN THE 3-MATCH ODI SERIES!

No, that's a brilliant catch by Hazlewood in the deep there! Slower in the air on off, Bairstow looked to monster that over deep mid-wicket for a six. He gets it high in the air but does not get the distance. Hazlewood, running to his right, judges the ball, dives forward and takes it safely. Bairstow, who was going well, has to go back to the dressing room now.

Adam Zampa To Jonny Bairstow
Four! That reaches the fence! Jonny Bairstow makes use of the field and places this to perfection. There was just the one fielder in the deep square leg region. Bairstow sweeps and places it well to the right of that fielder and gets a boundary.
Adam Zampa to bowl now. He has figures of 2/26 from his 6 overs.

DRINKS! Australia would be mighty pleased with the way they have bowled overall but this partnership seems to be a thorn in their flesh, something that they cannot seem to shake off. They tried their best, but somehow the pair has fended off all the challenges. The visitors will hope that this break dents the momentum that this pair has achieved so far while England would want these two to continue going. This partnership is key for the hosts, in order to stay in the hunt. Let's find out which way play goes after the break.

He has not been at his fluent best but is hanging in there. It is also the slowest fifty by him in international cricket. Needs to continue.

Flatter ball around the leg stump line. Sam looked to turn that down the leg side but misses and gets hit on his pads. Australia appeal but the umpire stood still. Finch ponders and takes it upstairs but Ball Tracker says that it was going down the leg side. Tough luck for Finch!
Finch takes the review this time! It is for a LBW against Sam Billings. UltraEdge comes in and no bat involved. Ball Tracker states that it was pitching outside off, the impact was in line but the ball was missing the stumps. So, Australia lose the review!

OUT! CAUGHT! Another one is gone and England in all sorts of trouble here. Labuschagne takes an excellent catch! The apprentice has learned many things from his master it seems. It was difficult, especially under the floodlights, but he keeps his eyes on the ball, steadies himself and takes an excellent catch, diving forward as the ball dipped on him. Zampa floats this around off, Buttler launches on to it. He gets the height but not the distance. It goes towards Marnus at long on who steadied himself, kept his eyes on the ball and takes a good catch. Australia are celebrating, they know this is a huge wicket.

OUT! CAUGHT! The English skipper departs. Though Zampa may be young kid but you cannot overpower him. If you do you pay the price as Morgan paid. Maxwell has bucket hands and he holds on to it safely. Flatter ball on the off stump line, Morgan rocks back and looked to play it over mid-wicket. He though gets it uppishly but just to the left of Maxwell at short mid-wicket. Maxwell lunges to his left and takes that catch. He is elated and so is Zampa, they know how big a wicket this is.

Excellent bowling from Hazlewood! Pitches on off and nips back in sharply, Bairstow looks to block but misses and the ball goes past and through to the keeper. There was a sound as the ball passed Bairstow and hence Carey appeals for a catch but the umpire does not feel so. He is interested in taking a review but Finch rubs it off.

NOT OUT! GOOD REVIEW THERE BY BAIRSTOW! Full and on middle and leg, Bairstow looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. Australia appeal and umpire Richard concurs, raises his finger. Bairstow has a chat with his skipper and takes the review almost instantly. And he reverses it in his favour as the ball was going down the leg side. Bairstow stays!
Review time! Bairstow wants to review the on-field LBW decision against him. UltraEdge comes in and there is clear daylight between bat and ball. What does Ball Tracker say then? MISSING THE STUMPS! Review retained by England!

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! What a catch from Hazlewood! It is never easy to take the retun one in the followthrough for a pacer but Josh has done it. England jolted early in the chase. Their power hitter is gone cheaply. Full length delivery on middle, Jason looked to drive that back past the bowler but he ends up hitting it low and uppish back to Hazlewood, who displays amazing reflexes as he grabs that one. Excellent bowling from Hazlewood and excellent, quick reaction there.
