England vs Australia Scorecard

7.2 OUT! WOOD STRIKES! England get the wicket of Warner. Length ball angling away, Warner looks to flick it through the leg side but gets an outside edge straight to the keeper. Warner was looking at the pitch after he nicked it. Nevertheless, England have got a big breakthrough. 40/1

22.5 OUT! GONE! That was needless from Finch. He was playing so well. Stokes bowls it full on off, Finch tries to loft it over mid off but hits it straight up in the air. Morgan at extra cover runs back a little, seems to have misjudged it in the beginning but circles under it to take a good catch. England needed that wicket desperately and Stokes provides it. Can they build on this wicket? 136/2

32.1 OUT! BIG, BIG BLOW! Bowling change works for England! Fuller length delivery outside off, Smith looks to drive it on the up with a straight bat. However, he is slightly early into the shot and ends up checking his shot straight to Plunkett at mid off. The English quickie takes a good low catch. This is a huge blow for Australia. The skipper is livid with himself. England have started picking up regular wickets now. 181/4

27.4 OUT! Good fielding change there by Morgan. He just brings the long on inside the circle and Henriques falls for it. Rashid tosses it up outside off, Henriques tries to drag it over mid on but hits it straight to Plunkett who takes a good low catch. England are fighting their way back into the match. 161/3

42.3 OUT! Amazing catch from Jason Roy! So, the dropped chance has not cost England a lot. Maxwell is heading back to the hut. Wood bowls it short on the stumps, Maxwell goes for the pull and connects well. Roy at deep mid-wicket leaps and hangs on to it. But, he seems to be going over the fence and so throws the ball up in the air and then comes in from the boundary to complete the catch. Superb athleticism by Roy. They go up to check whether he has taken it cleanly and after quite a few replays the third umpire gives it out. This is a superb break for England as Maxwell can be very lethal at the fag end. 239/5

43.3 OUT! SOFT DISMISSAL! Bowls a wrong one outside off, Wade shuffles across and tries to flick it through the leg side but gets a top edge. Rashid takes an easy catch off his own bowling. Australia are losing their way now. Rashid gets his second of the game. 245/6

44 OUT! There goes another one! Second in the over for Rashid. This is not one of his best deliveries that he has bowled today. It's a full toss on leg stump which Starc tries to sweep but gets a top edge. Root at first slip takes a couple of steps to his right and pouches it with ease. Australia are falling like a pack of cards! 245/7

46 OUT! RASHID GETS A 4-FER! Australia are gifting wickets to Rashid. He tosses it up on off, Cummins chips it off the outer half back to the bowler and the leggie takes another caught and bowled. Adil Rashid has finished his spell with excellent figures of 10-1-41-4. He has been the game changer for England today. 253/8

46.4 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Wood has his best figures in the ODIs. He bowls a fast full toss on off stump. Zampa moves his front leg out of the way and tries to put bat on ball but misses and gets knocked over. You miss, I hit stuff there from the English pacer! Australia lose their 9th wicket with only 254 on the board. 254/9

0.2 OUT! Decision stays! Another failure for Jason Roy! He has been under criticism for a long time and it was a good stage for him to answer them but has failed to do so. Coming to the ball, it was pitched around leg, straightens a touch after pitching. Roy looks to flick it on the leg side but is late to bring his bat down in time. Gets rapped on the pads and the players go up in appeal. Umpire Dharamasena after a thought, raises his finger and Roy straightaway opts for the review. The Hawk Eye shows that it pitched on leg, impact was in line and was going on to hit the stumps. Superb decision, that! Starc has given Aussies the perfect start. 4/1

1.2 OUT! Edged and gone! The Aussies are off to a superb start! Good length delivery around off, angling in, straightens a touch after pitching. Hales looks to defend with a straight bat but gets an outside edge which goes straight to Aaron Finch at first slip, who pouches it with ease. That was a superb delivery to get rid of the in-form Hales. 6/2

5.4 OUT! Big wicket! That's what the doctor ordered for Australia! Pitched a touch ahead of length outside off, nips away slightly. Root prods forward to defend but again is undone by the slight away movement. The ball catches the outside edge and it's an easy catch for Wade behind the stumps. England in huge trouble. For the first time in this tournament, they have been rocked early and so hard. Hazlewood is on fire! He has produced some exceptional deliveries today. 35/3

31.5 OUT! Australia get the breakthrough courtesy a run out. And I guess that was the only way this partnership could have been broken. Starc bowls a full slower ball, Stokes is early into the drive and chips it on the bounce to Zampa at mid on. He sets off for a run but Morgan is ball-watching and they both are almost stranded at one end. Morgan, however, decides to go for the run. Adam scores a direct hit at the striker's end and Eoin is a long way out. It was a special, special effort from the Aussie leggie. The keeper hadn't got to the stumps and so he needed to score a direct hit to get rid of the English skipper. He does that and brings the 159-run partnership to an end. Can there be a twist? 194/4
