ENG vs AUS Live Cricket Score

9.4 OUT! TAKEN! Josh Hazlewood strikes for Australia and provides the first breakthrough! Although, credits to Marnus Labuschagne for a sharp catch at point. Josh Hazlewood bowls a quicker one and stretches his length, full and around off, Phil Salt looks to drive it through the covers but the length is too full and he couldn't get his bat underneath the ball properly. Hence, ends up slicing it flat off the outer half of the bat towards Marnus Labuschagne stationed at point. He bends low and takes a sharp regulation catch. Phil Salt departs on 22 (17) and Hazlewood breaks the 48-run opening stand of England. 48/1

22.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! A four and out for Duckett and Zampa finally, gets a breakthrough! He cunningly bowls it comparatively slower in pace than the previous delivery, offers much more revolutions on the ball, pushes it full and on the leg stump line, Ben Duckett sits down to sweep it but couldn't quite get his bat underneath it properly. A misconnection means the ball takes the top edge and flies towards deep fine. Sean Abbott runs in from the ropes to his right and takes a good grab in the deep. Ben Duckett departs for a fantastic 63 (62) and England are 150/3 in 22.4 overs. 150/3

13.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Only one man was screaming which was echoing through Lord's. And it was the bowler, who is bowling for the first time in ODIs, since the 2023 World Cup final. He is overjoyed, no doubt while the rest of the professional outfit is treating it like everyday work - make a plan, bowl to that plan and reap dividends. Australia have been trying to get Jacks drive or punch square of the wicket on the off side by bowling a bit wide. This is on a length, wide of off and Will Jacks goes hard at it, slicing it. It is in the air and Marnus Labuschagne makes no mistake moving to his left at backward point. Jacks departs for 10 and England are 71/2 after 13.5 overs. 71/2

30.2 OUT! GLENN MAXWELL, YOU BEAUTY! He takes a phenomenal catch to dismiss the dangerous-looking Harry Brook.  A tossed-up delivery by Zampa, Harry Brook tries to take him on, clears the front foot, and goes for the aerial route looking to clear the long on region but doesn't find the connection well and airs it off the toe end. As a result, he doesn't generate much power and it only goes as far as the wide long on region where Maxwell runs to his left and dives low to take a very sharp catch in the deep. 225/4

32 OUT! CAUGHT! Maxwell gets a wicket. Nothing special about this delivery but because England are aiming for death-kill, one attacking stroke proves to be too many. Short, outside off, Jamie Smith rocks back and looks to cut but gets a thick outside edge instead. The ball goes straight to Josh Hazlewood at backward point. Smith departs for a fine 39 (28) and England are 241/5 with 7 overs left. 241/5

11.2 OUT! BOWLED'EM! An absolute seed from Archer, through the defence of the Aussie skipper! Jofra Archer stays over the stumps, and attacks the line of the middle and the off stumps, it gets a bit of an away movement which is enough to deceive Marsh. He anticipates the ball to stay straight and hence, brings his bat vertically down to drive it down the ground and ends up playing inside the line of the ball. As a result, with a tinge of a deviation away from the bat, the ball whispers the outside edge and crashes into the pegs. Mitchell Marsh departs on 28 (34). Australia lose their third wicket and they slip from a comfortable 68/0 to 80/3. Marnus Labuschagne walks in at number 5, replacing his skipper. 80/3

8.4 OUT! BOWLED! Excellent comeback by Carse after a punishing opening over. He just sticks to the basics, keeping the line pretty straight, targetting the stumps. Travis Head gives himself some room to the leg side and attempts a massive swing and that brings Carse into business. He follows the policy of 'You miss, I hit' and to his joy, Head misses. The ball doesn't and the bails are scattered. So England strike immediately after Powerplay 1 as Australia's opening stand is finally broken on 68. Head departs for a well-made 34 (23). The visitors need another 245 from 182 balls. 68/1

10 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Well, England right back on top in this game now. Another weird shot from Smith, putting it down to the mounting required rate. He steps away down the leg side and Matthew Potts follows him, bowling it on a length. Smith attempts an ambitious inside-out shot but is cramped for room. The ball nips back in a long way and takes a thin inside edge, on its way to the keeper, Jamie Smith. England appeal but Smith does not even wait for the umpire's decision. Big wicket, as he departs for just 5 (6) and Australia have now slipped from 68/0 to 75/2. 238 more needed from 174 balls. 75/2

14.2 OUT! TAKEN! England keeps the pressure on! Length ball outside off. Inglis drives away from the body with no proper foot movement, and chips it straight to short cover off the outer half of the bat. Now, not sure whether Will Jacks lost the ball in the lights or was just late to react but he jumped pretty late and almost at the last moment, plucked it out of thin air. Inglis departs for 8 (15) and Australia are in a bit of a pickle here. 91/4

14.5 OUT! CASTLED! This is top tier bowling from Carse! Length ball around off, it jags back in degrees from the angle. Marnus Labuschagne presents the full face of the bat but the ball sneaks through the edge as Marnus plays inside the line. It cannons into the off stump, uprooting it. Australia are teetering at 93/5 now in 14.5 overs. They need 220 more runs to win now. 93/5

23.1 OUT! LBW! Wonderful review from England and Potts has his third! On a good length, outside off, Alex Carey looked to whip it through the leg side but missed as the ball darted back in. Potts appealed but the umpire turned it down. Initially it looked high to the naked eye, but one or two England fielders, probably from the slip cordon, told Harry Brook that it did not look that high. Brook agreed and decided to take the review and sure enough, Ball Tracker projected it to be hitting the top of leg stump! No heroics for Carey tonight as he goes for an unlucky 13. POTTS IS ON A HATTRICK! 122/8

15.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Archer gets his second and this just keeps getting worse for the Aussies now as they are 6 down even before 100 on the board. Jofra Archer tests Maxwell with a good length ball on the middle. It pitches and nips back in a fraction. Maxwell is in his crease and looks to heave it across the line but ends up getting the bottom edge to the keeper. Jamie Smith dives to his left and takes a good sharp catch. From 68/0, Australia have now slipped badly to 96/6. 96/6

22 OUT! CAUGHT. And that is the end of that. Potts keeps it full again, outside off and this time, Abbott just tries to chip it over the infield. There is no attempt to heave but there is no power on the flick either. The shot is more or less the same, a no-look one but the ball just travels in the air. Not enough distance as Liam Livingstone rushes across to his right from mid on and completes the formalities. Pott's figures read 7-1-38-2. 119/7

23.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Two in the over for Potts and he now has four as Zampa lasts 2 balls. A short ball, outside off, Adam Zampa looks to hoick it over the leg side but he is in no position to play that shot. The extra bounce does him in and he only manages to spoon it straight up in the air. Liam Livingstone runs a yard or so to his right to take his second catch of the evening. England a wicket away from levelling the series. 122/9

24.4 OUT! BOWLED! It also brings up the 50th wicket in ODIs for Adil Rashid against Australia. It is a straighter one, around leg stump, a tad short, which stays low as well. Josh Hazlewood rocks back to pull but is defeated by the lack of bounce and the ball hits the leg stump. ENGLAND WIN BY 186 RUNS AND LEVEL THE SERIES 2-2! 126/10
