Adil Rashid To Alex Carey
A really loud appeal for LBW but the umpire turns it down. After a long chat, Harry Brook decides to send it upstairs. Rashid bowls this full, on middle and gets the ball to turn back in, Alex Carey with a good stride out tries to keep it out with a straight bat but misses it onto his pads. The ball passes close to the bat and the UltraEdge shows a bit of a murmur but it was after the ball has passed the bat. No bat involved, says the third umpire. Ball Tracking shows the ball to be pitching in line, impact in line and wickets to be clipping the top of middle and leg. Comes up as the umpire's call and Alex Carey survives! England however retain the review!

Jofra Archer To Steven Smith OUT!
OUT! WHAT A GRAB! Excellently held by Brydon Carse! Steven Smith cannot quite believe it as he stands there in disbelief. Archer attempts the bumper but does not get it high enough to trouble the batter, on middle. Steven Smith swivels for the pull and picks the bones out of that. Hits it flat and to the left of deep square leg. Brydon Carse in the deep is quick across the turf and lunges to his left to take a stunning catch. He ensures that his elbows do not hit the turf which could have resulted in the ball popping out of his grasp. The 40-run stand is broken. Smith goes for 60 (82). Australia are now 172/5 after 34.3 overs.

Drinks! After losing two quick wickets, both Steven Smith and Alex Carey have adopted a more calculated approach. Australia will need them to keep the scoreboard moving without further losses if they hope to take the game deep and then push hard towards the end. On a surface that has been anything but easy, England will have to continue their hunt for wickets to keep the visitors to a manageable total.

FOUR! Adil Rashid gets greeted into the attack with a boundary! A real half-tracker from Rashid from the front of the hand, on middle and leg. Cameron Green needs no second invitation. Gets on the back foot in a flash and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary.
Drinks! It’s been a challenging period for the batters, with the ball consistently nipping off the surface and the occasional delivery rising sharply. Australia have certainly struggled at times, but they've managed to weather the storm and keep the scoreboard ticking. Smith and Green will now need to forge a solid partnership to recover from the loss of two early wickets. Meanwhile, England will aim to maintain the pressure, probing for more breakthroughs and looking to steadily chip away at the Australian lineup. With that, Adil Rashid is introduced into the attack now.

Brydon Carse To Mitchell Marsh
A huge appeal for caught behind, but the umpire turns it down. After a lot of eye rolls, Harry Brook opts not to send it upstairs. This is on a length, on off, Mitchell Marsh looks for a big slog on leg but misses. There was a sound as the ball passed next to the bat but the replays show that the ball brushed the right pocket of Marsh on the way back to the keeper.

Another one that will sting Marsh! Carse starts from over the wicket and angles it in on middle and leg, on a shorter length, Mitchell Marsh looks to pull but the ball does not rise as much as the Aussie skipper anticipated. The ball goes under his bat and hits him high around the chest. The physio had sprinted out but Marsh sent him back.

Jofra Archer To Matthew Short OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Jofra Archer strikes and delivers the first breakthrough for England! His short ball strategy pays off brilliantly, reaping high dividends this time but Short will feel that he missed out. Bangs it into the deck and angles it in a bit over middle and leg, Matthew Short sees the length and sets himself up for another clean strike but the ball gets big on him. Gets more height than distance on it as it comes off the upper half of the bat. It goes only as far as Adil Rashid stationed at deep backward square leg who takes a very simple catch within the ropes. Australia lose their first and are 21/1 after 4 overs.

Steams in from over the wicket and bangs it right on the money! With two slips in place, Potts hits the length right and angles the first one, into the batter over off, Matthew Short holds his shape and looks to punch it on off but chops it down and it rolls wide of the stumps.
All in readiness for the start of the third ODI. Overcast skies greet the two umpires as they make their way out to the middle. Harry Brook leads his troops out to the centre, followed by the two Australian openers. It will be Matthew Short and Mitchell Marsh to open the innings for the visitors. Matthew Potts has the new ball in hand and he is raring to go. Two slips in place. The countdown is done and dusted. Off we go...
The captain of Australia, Mitchell Marsh jokingly says that he is starting to wonder if there is a head on that coin. Adds that they would have bowled first as well but he is not too fussed about it. Informs that Adam Zampa misses out due to illness as does Travis Head due to being a bit sore. Further says that Cameron Green and Sean Abbott are the two guys coming in. Shares that he will open the innings in place of Head. Feels that it is important to stay in the present and reckons that they have got a good chance to win the series today.
Harry Brook, the skipper of England says they will have a bowl first. Adds that the pitch looks good and hopes there is something in it for the bowlers. Mentions that Jofra Archer comes in for Olly Stone. Mentions that the atmosphere is really good and hopes for Carse and Potts, the local lads to continue the way they played and he is looking forward to a good game.

TOSS - England have won the toss and have elected to BOWL first.
On the other hand, Australia are strengthened by the return of key players, making them the slight favourites as they head into this match. Despite facing some challenges in their previous game, the batting lineup showed remarkable composure towards the end, pulling the team out of a tough spot and instilling confidence across the squad. With their premium bowlers back in action, Australia may look to unleash their full potential and wrap up the series, reinforcing their dominance in English conditions. Will they successfully clinch victory in this match, or will the English team stage a remarkable comeback to keep the series alive? We’ll find out soon, as the toss is just moments away!
England, with a fresh mix, have yet to showcase its full potential in the series. The new stand-in skipper, Harry Brook, will be eager for his team to rise to the occasion when it matters most. The batting unit has struggled to meet expectations, which has been a significant factor in their shortcomings in the first two games. However, with the bowling attack finding some rhythm after a shaky start in the first match, England will hope to finally click as a cohesive unit, something they've yet to achieve in this series.
Hello and a very warm welcome to the third match of this 5-match ODI series between England and Australia at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street. With Australia leading the series 2-0, the stakes are higher than ever. England are fighting to keep their hopes alive and stay in the hunt, while Australia will be eager to maintain their winning momentum and clinch the series before heading to London. The stage is perfectly set for an exciting showdown!
