Thank you for tuning in to our live coverage!
Champions from last two editions of World Cup have been eliminated by the teams who have never won the showpiece tournament. New Zealand will take on hosts England in the final on Sunday, July 14. Don't forget to join us then.
Winning runs came off the bat of skipper Eoin Morgan who lofted the ball over mid-on fielder for a boundary. England will face New Zealand in the final of World Cup 2019 at Lord's on July 14, which means we will see a new World Champion this time as England and New Zealand have never won a World Cup.
Eoin Morgan is toying with the field here. Lyon bowls on the middle stump, Morgan backs away, makes some room and slashes it away to the cover fence for a four.
Eoin Morgan reverse sweeps Nathan Lyon over backward point fielder for a four. Lyon flighted the ball and that is what allowed Morgan to execute the shot so effectively.
Mitchell Starc tries an in-swinging yorker, ends up bowling a low full-toss on the leg stump and Joe Root glances it off his pads for a four to fine leg fence.
It has started drizzling in Birmingham but it is not enough to interrupt the play. Groundsmen are waiting on the sidelines for umpires' signal. England are 79 runs ahead at the moment as per DLS score.
Jason Roy has been given out caught behind and he is not happy with the decision. He argued with the umpires before leaving the field. England have no review left and he has been asked to leave by the two umpires. Match referee will surely take note of it. The replay shows there was no edge still Roy's reaction can't be justified. Poor decision from the umpire but they are also human... they can also make mistake.
Joe Root hammers three boundaries off the bowling of Mitchell Starc. He has come with a mission and is batting with intent. England are going all out here.
Mitchell Starc gets Australia they breakthrough they wanted. Jonny Bairstow departs after playing a decent knock. With this wicket, Starc becomes the most successful bowler in one edition of World Cup. He went past Glenn McGrath's tally of 26 wickets. Read more on that here.
With his removal of Bairstow, Mitchell Starc raised his wicket tally at #CWC19 to 27. Incredible
Jason Roy dances down the track, Stonis saw him doing that and drops the ball short. Despite cramping for room, Roy still manages to put it away for a boundary.
Jason Roy doesn't want Steve Smith to settle in and takes him on his first over itself and hits him for three consecutive sixes. The last shot almost went out of the park. This over produced 21 runs for England.
Jason Roy reverse-sweeps Nathan Lyon for a four. Backward point fielder had no chance of stopping that. Roy is putting Nathan Lyon under real pressure.
