Into the bowlers now. Pat Cummins walks out to bat. He can bat but can he bat and give support to Smith till the end of this innings?
34.5 overs (0 Run)
OUT! Soft, soft dismissal! And the ploy to get back Archer has worked. Morgan wanted Maxwell's wicket and Archer gets it in what probably would have been his last ball of this spell. It is a well disguised slower ball. Maxwell does not pick it. He initially goes hard at the ball but then looks to bail out as it just does not arrive. In the end, he ends up chipping it to the cover fielder where Morgan takes a dolly. Maxwell once again gets out after getting to a start. England into the bowling all-rounders now.
34.5 overs (1 Run) Another wide! This is short and on middle, Maxwell ducks under it and it has been wided.
34.4 overs (1 Run) On middle, Smith works it through square leg and gets to the other end.
34.4 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Way too short and Smith ducks under it. It has been wided.

34.2 overs (1 Run) On the off pole. Maxwell guides it through cover-point and gets to the other end.
34.1 overs (1 Run) Almost drags it on! A slower one outside off, Smith is early into the drive. It goes off the inside edge, just past the leg pole and down to fine leg for one.

33.5 overs (1 Run) A single now as Maxwell slaps this through covers.

FOUR! A hit-me ball! Short and on middle, it sits up to be hit. Maxwell says thank you very much as he goes back and pulls it hard over mid-wicket for a boundary. 150 up for Australia.
33.3 overs (0 Run) The slider but on the pads, Maxwell works it to mid-wicket.
33.2 overs (0 Run) On middle, Maxwell pushes it back to the bowler.
33.1 overs (2 Runs) Two! Rashid gives it air and Maxwell drags it over mid-wicket. It is not right off the middle so the fielder in the deep gets across and keeps it down to two.

Drinks Break! Australia had a steady partnership going when Smith and Carey added 103-run stand but a double wicket over from Adil Rashid has put the defending champions back on the back foot. Glenn Maxwell is the one who has joined the well-set Steve Smith. The former has looked to play his shot but needs to be cautious as he is the last recognized batter in this line up. England have been seriously good with the ball. They have kept plucking wickets at regular intervals and will look to break this stand as well.

31.5 overs (0 Run) Rashid now bowls it flatter and around middle, this is kept out.
31.4 overs (6 Runs)
SIX! Enough of blocking says Maxwell. He clears long on for the first biggie of the day. Rashid gives it air and Maxwell's eyes lit up. He goes against the turn but does so nicely and hits it over the fence.
31.3 overs (1 Run) On the pads, this is worked through square leg for one.
31.2 overs (0 Run) The googly just outside off, Smith, just at the end, guides it to point.
31.1 overs (0 Run) Floats it up on the stumps, Smith defends it.
30.6 overs (0 Run) Bouncer again! Maxwell ducks under this one. Good battle this between Jofra and Maxwell.
30.5 overs (0 Run) Now a play and a miss. It is not the short one that does you, it's the follow up. Good length ball outside off, it moves away just a bit. Maxwell looks to push it on the off side but misses.
30.4 overs (4 Runs)
