ENG vs AUS Live Cricket Score

4 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. 21/1

10.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Good comeback from Carse after being hit for a six on the previous ball. Carse corrects his length as he goes fuller this time and bowls it with an upright seam, on a length, around off, Mitchell Marsh gets his bat out in front and presents a straight bat to keep it out. The ball nips away off the deck, enough to catch the outside edge and it is taken cleanly by the keeper, Jamie Smith low to his right. Marsh did not even bother to look behind and started walking as soon as he edged it. Mitchell Marsh departs for 24(38) and Australia are now 47/2. 47/2

34.3 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. 172/5

26.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A very unusual plan but Jacob Bethell successfully traps Cameron Green in it and gets England the much-needed breakthrough. With a short mid on in place, Jacob Bethell tosses it up and bowls it straight and full on middle and leg, Cameron Green steps out and drills it straight into the hands of Will Jacks at short mid on who takes a sharp catch low in front. The 84-run stand is broken as Green departs for 42 (49). Australia are now 131/3 after 26.4 overs. 131/3

27.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Two in quick succession and England have their tails up now! Will Jacks bowls it on a shorter length over middle and off, Marnus Labuschagne with no protection in the deep behind him at fine leg, gets low on a knee with a slight shuffle across the line attempting to scoop it behind. Gets a bit too late on the shot and hits it off the upper half. The ball hits him on the helmet and ballons behind the keeper to his right. Jamie Smith turns around and gobbles it around his face to see the back of Marnus Labuschagne who walks back for a duck. 132/4
