    Adam Zampa
    29(19)&3/21(10)
Right then, end of a topsy-turvy Saturday, and boy oh boy, the dynamics have shifted a fair bit in the race for the semi-finals. Australia however have all but sealed a place in the final four with this victory with their Trans-Tasmanian rivals getting into a dog fight for the final playoff place after suffering a loss against Pakistan. There are still a couple of places left and still more than a week's worth of group-stage action to look forward to. For now though, the focus shifts to Kolkata as two teams who have qualified for the semis face off in a battle for supremacy. It is hosts India taking on South Africa at the Eden Gardens on Sunday, the 5th of November. That game will begin at 2 pm IST (8.30 am GMT) but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Do join us then. Take care and goodbye!
Australia's skipper, Pat Cummins says that it's been great and the boys have played brilliantly after a tough start. Reckons they have got a bit better with every game but would have liked to close things out sooner. Adds that they take a lot of pride in themselves and were not happy with the start they were off to and are glad to have turned it around. On Adam Zampa, he says that he has been bowling beautifully in the last few games and that innings with the bat was special as well and it is nice to see that. On the bench strength he says that Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh will be back at some point but having others ready at his disposal is a good thing. On the dew, he says it wasn't too bad and is happy to have got the win.
Jos Buttler, the captain of England says that it is disappointing and feels like he is having the same chat after every game. Adds that there were improvements and they ended up losing by 30-odd runs. Mentions that being the captain of the side and coming to India and being on this side of things doesn't feel nice. Reckons they haven't done themselves justice and he knows how much hard work it required to get to the highest of highs and thanks everyone who has supported them through thick and thin. Adds that they bowled well and it could have been even better if they had got rid of Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc sooner and fancied themselves to chase it down. On his dismissal, he says that it was the right shot to play and the execution was wrong and he felt like he needed to take on the game at that point and admits that his form has been the biggest concern. Ends by saying that you simply need to keep putting in the hard work.
Adam Zampa is the Player of the Match for his stellar all-round showing. Zampa says summing up the conditions was important, with the dew it was not going to be easy. Adds he was very happy with how it landed and very content with how he bowled. Adds he just wanted to stay positive and bat out till the 50th over. Mentions he is very satisfied with how he did.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the day, after inserting Australia into bat, England got a couple of early wickets to put Australia on the back foot. The middle order though came to the rescue for Australia. The platform was laid but they lost quite a few wickets towards the end and Chris Woakes had a very good outing with the ball, picking up 4 wickets. Adam Zampa however, played a really good cameo to take the side close to 290 and one has to believe, it is his spell with the ball and his knock with the bat that won Australia the game.
With the ball, Adam Zampa and Pat Cummins were really good. Both got important wickets and their economy was also brilliant. Especially Zampa who went for just 21 runs in his 10 and picked up three wickets as well. How good is that? How many times do you see such figures on a flat batting track? Brilliant! Have to say the spells by the two are what won the Aussies the game. Spare a thought for the likes of Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid who made the Aussies sweat a bit in the end but there was simply too much left to do.
The two new balls were going to be key and Australia made use of it brilliantly. They got a couple of wickets and that too big ones. Mitchell Starc was the one who got two and Josh Hazlewood kept things tight. Then there was a fightback from England courtesy Dawid Malan and Ben Stokes but Pat Cummins delivered just as the game started to drift. Adam Zampa then got rid of Jos Buttler to take Australia right back on top. Moeen Ali and Stokes did get their side back into the game but once Stokes fell, the lower order failed to do a lot and in the end, it was another good win for the Aussies.
Australia make it 5 wins in a row now and move two points clear of the traffic jam just below them. A clinical show with the ball from them. We felt 286 was slightly under par as the wicket usually gets better to bat on here and with the dew expected to come in but their highly-rated bowling attack has delivered.

Josh Hazlewood To Adil Rashid OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Done and dusted! Josh Hazlewood closes out proceedings and the reigning champions are officially dumped out of the tournament. A slower ball bumper around off, Adil Rashid looks to take it on but isn't under control at all and is way too early into the shot. The ball goes straight up off the top edge and the keeper Josh Inglis settles under it to take the catch. Australia win by 33 runs!
Mark Wood is the last man in for England.

Marcus Stoinis To Chris Woakes OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Finds the man in the deep and Marcus Stoinis has done it for his side. Not the best delivery from Stoinis, another juicy full toss on the legs, begging to be punished. Chris Woakes whips it off his pads but doesn't get it off the middle of the bat. The ball goes flatand straight down the throat of Marnus Labuschagne at deep square leg and he makes no mistake. Woakes departs after putting up a fight and Australia on the verge of victory now.

SIX! Oh, dear! Marcus Stoinis, what have you done? The ball slips out of the hands and serves a high full toss around the hips. Adil Rashid looks to dispatch it over fine leg but gets a top edge that flies over the third man fence for a biggie. The height is fine and it is not a no ball but the umpires do inform Pat Cummins about Australia being behind the over rate.

Zampa picks up his third wicket of the game and England on the verge of getting knocked out here as Ali departs after a fighting knock.
Umpires call for a change of ball as the present one has soaked up a bit too much dew.

Adam Zampa To Ben Stokes OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Ben Stokes falls now. Adam Zampa gets the big fish. Stokes is absolutely disgusted with himself. He can't believe what he has done. That was not such a good delivery. It is down the leg side. Short. Stokes could have pulled it anywhere but does so straight to short fine leg and it is taken by Marcus Stoinis! A good knock by Stokes but has fallen at the wrong time. His side needed him to be there. Australia back on top. They have broken the stand which was worrying them. 118 needed in 87.

Marcus Stoinis To Moeen Ali
That was quite casual from Josh Hazlewood! Shorter and on the body, this is pulled towards fine leg. Josh Hazlewood runs to his right and just taps it away from the ropes. Stoinis wants him to hurry and get to the ball to prevent the second. He does so. Only one.

Drinks break! The equation is simple for England - 141 runs needed, 18 overs left. Ben Stokes has started to fire and Moeen Ali is just staying alongside him. Australia know that this isn't an easy pitch to start on and a couple of wickets here will put them in the driver's seat. The Aussies still have their noses in front but can they see this on through? Let's find out.

Adam Zampa vs Buttler, the match-up was always in favour of the leggie and he's got Buttler out for a fifth time in ODIs. This is nicely tossed up around off, Buttler skips down the track looking to thump it over long off but the bat turns in his hand and he only manages to hit it down the throat of Cameron Green inside the long off fence. Green takes a simple catch and Zampa is delighted. England lose their fourth wicket now. Also, Moeen Ali comes out to bat next.

Mitchell Starc serves it on a nagging length in the channel around off and this one goes across the right-hander. Joe Root has a feel for it but seems to be beaten past the outside edge. However, there was a noise and UltraEdge confirms that it was of the outside edge. Excellent review and Root has to walk back early too.

Pat Cummins has a chat and then goes upstairs. No bat involved and the ball is swinging down leg. Root survives and picks up a leg bye as the ball rolls away to backward point.!
Review! This one seems mightly close but the LBW decision has been given Not Out onfield. Pat Cummins has opted for the review. There's nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking comes in and shows the wickets as missing and hence the onfield call stands. Australia lose an early review.

Mitchell Starc To Joe Root
FOUR! All class from Joe Root! Pitched up around off at 141 clicks, looking to swing it back in. Root gets on the front foot and punches it on the up sweetly to the right of mid off and brings up the first boundary of the chase.

Mitchell Starc To Joe Root
Joe Root and England are off the mark! Bowled back of a length and around off, Root stays back and caresses it away through the cover region and picks up a couple of runs to get going.
Joe Root is in at number 3.

Mitchell Starc To Jonny Bairstow OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Strangled down the leg side and Jonny Bairstow is out first ball! Mitchell Starc starts off with a loosener as he bowls this one fuller on the pads and the swing seems to be taking it down leg. Bairstow tries to tickle it fine but gets a very faint tickle. Josh Inglis springs to his left and takes a fine tumbling catch. Starc appeals and Bairstow starts walking back for a golden duck. Perfect start for Australia not so much for England.
