35.5
A Tye to J Roy, OUT! That is a spectacular catch by Paine! Boy o boy, the bowling and batting have been letting Australia down for ages now but their fielding continues to be excellent. In this game itself, we have seen two examples - D'Arcy Short taking that catch of Joe Root and now the Australian skipper strutting his stuff. On the ball, it was a very good nut in the first place. Tye landed this on a length outside off and Roy was forward to defend. But then, the ball came back in sharply and also stayed low a touch. Just took the bottom edge and then, flew past the stumps. But with the ball flying, so does Tim Paine. He just goes to his left and takes the ball in his left glove! That too, cleanly. Tye has to appeal as Roy does not go initially. Now the opener walks off shaking his head. Brilliant innings, ended by a peach of a ball and a magnificent catch. Now, how will this affect England's final surge?
Jonny Bairstowc Tim Paine b Kane Richardson 42 24 8 1 175
8.2
K Richardson to J Bairstow, OUT! The bowling change, fielding change and the end change works! Australia have managed to break the opening stand. Kane Richardson's change of ends helps him. Given that third man came up before this ball, Bairstow thought of playing this fine, just past that man inside the circle. He backed away to a length delivery but it was not that far from him. He flayed hard and only managed a nick behind. Once again, Jonny falls after a start.
Alex Halesb Jhye Richardson 26 38 3 0 68.42
18.4
J Richardson to A Hales, OUT! Through him! Jhye gets Hales with a cracker of a delivery. A real critic might just observe a bit of a lack of footwork in that one. But still, there is less that Hales could have done about that ball. It was pitched outside off and Hales looked to play that straight. The willow came down a bit late and Hales was beaten by pace. But he could not account for the movement. That too, a late one. The ball just seamed in and went between bat and pad to hit the middle stump. Yawning gap between bat and pad, yes. But the pace and movement were simply too good. Hales falls after a start as well, but he did not throw his wicket away at least.
Joe Rootc D'Arcy Short b Marcus Stoinis 22 24 2 0 91.67
27.5
M Stoinis to Joe Root, OUT! Superb catch taken by D'Arcy to cut Root's innings short! An uncharacteristic shot from Root. All he needed to do was to play around Roy. But he had made up his mind to attack this ball and jumped out of his crease. Stoinis saw that and banged it in short. Root swivelled with the leap and pulled it towards deep square leg. The ball was dipping onto the fielder but Short came running in and took it with his left hand, inches above the ground! Well done... but questions will be asked to Root as to why did he play that shot in the first place.

Sam Billingsb Andrew Tye 11 18 0 0 61.11
42.5
A Tye to Sam Billings, OUT! Chopped on! The knuckle ball does the trick. Billings looks to run it down to third man but is deceived by the lack of pace on the ball. The ball takes the inside edge, goes onto the pads and then hits the stumps.
Moeen Alic Ashton Agar b Jhye Richardson 8 6 1 0 133.33
45.1
J Richardson to M Ali, OUT! Moeen's 'you-miss-I-hit' innings is over. But what did we miss? Just a four. A length ball on middle and leg, Moeen just whips it towards deep square leg. It seems like it has cleared the ropes but nope. Ashton Agar comes running in from deep square leg and takes the catch.
David Willeyc & b Kane Richardson 11 10 2 0 110
48.5
K Richardson to D Willey, OUT! Nicely taken. Another short ball, on middle, Willey goes for the pull but is done in by the bounce and hits this high in the air. It seems like the ball will land safely but Richardson the bowler shows great athleticism to run to his left and take a good catch.
Liam Plunkettrun out (D'Arcy Short) 1 2 0 0 50
49.3
A Tye to L Plunkett, OUT! Selfless cricket from Plunkett. He had to bring Buttler on strike and ran immediately as soon as he hit this towards short mid-wicket. D'Ary Short just collected and under-armed a throw to the bowler who did the rest.

Travis Headc Alex Hales b Mark Wood 19 15 3 1 126.67
3.2
M Wood to T Head, OUT! The catch is legal and Head has to depart. Wood strikes. He bowls it on a length, around middle and leg and Head looks to tuck it around the corner. But he struggles to adjust to the extra bounce and just tucks it uppishly. Alex Hales dives to his right from short mid-wicket and takes it cleanly. However, the umpires are not so sure and refer it upstairs. One look is good enough to certify that. Another failure for Head. 319 more needed from 280 balls.
D'Arcy Shortc Joe Root b Moeen Ali 21 33 2 0 63.64
14.5
M Ali to D Short, OUT! Short's struggles against spin have become more glaring, if they already hadn't in the Indian T20 League. Ali tosses this up nicely around off, Short hangs on the back foot and looks to push it. The ball spins just a bit and takes the outside edge. It is safely pouched by Root, standing at slip. Wonderful from England and Moeen is yet again among the wickets for them. What is interesting to note about D'Arcy here is today, he wasn't at ease even against the seamers.
Shaun Marshb Liam Plunkett 131 116 10 3 112.93
45.4
L Plunkett to S Marsh, OUT! Done in by the slower one! Plunkett has made a mess of Marsh's stumps. Bowls a lovely delivery, full and swinging in, Marsh looks to flick but is done in by the lack of pace on that one. He misses and the ball disturbs the stumps. End of an innings which started sluggishly, then picked up momentum when no one was watching and in the end, gave his side some hope - worthy of an applause. Well played, Shaun Marsh. 131 from 116 balls. Australia need 50 from 26 balls.
Marcus Stoinisb Liam Plunkett 9 18 0 0 50
19.3
L Plunkett to M Stoinis, OUT! Nothing Stoinis could have done about that. The ball pitched on a length outside off, he looked to defend from the crease but the ball just shot low, took the bottom edge and cannoned into the stumps. Stoinis stands there in despair before trudging off. Such things happen when the pitches get drier. Tough luck for Stoinis. Australia sink deeper - 244 more needed from 183 balls.
Aaron Finchlbw b Adil Rashid 0 4 0 0 0
20.5
A Rashid to A Finch, OUT! Stone dead. Aaron Finch here in front of the wickets and Australia in this run chase. Very full, on middle, Finch gets down to paddle but misses and is hit on the pads. That always looked out and as soon as the bowler appealed, the umpire raised his finger. Finch had a chat with his partner but then was sent on his way by Marsh who would have just asked - 'Did you hit it'? A duck for Finch, his 8th in ODIs, half of them coming against this opposition.
Glenn Maxwellc David Willey b Moeen Ali 31 34 4 0 91.18
30.2
M Ali to G Maxwell, OUT! That is the end of Maxwell and perhaps, officially, Australia's chances now. Maxwell backs away to the leg side and Moeen smartly bowls it outside off. However, instead of going inside out, the Big Show looks to go leg side, which means he has to reach out for the ball. Ends up dragging it high in the air. David Willey at long on completes the formalities. The match is almost a formality as well now. 179 more needed from 118 balls. This is the FOURTH TIME that Moeen has removed Maxwell in ODIs - joint most by any bowler against Maxi - along with Morne Morkel.
Ashton Agarst Jos Buttler b Adil Rashid 46 42 7 0 109.52
42.2
A Rashid to A Agar, OUT! STUMPED! Rashid has broken the 96-run stand. England will heave a sigh of relief. That partnership seemed to be taking the match out of their control. Beautiful bowling from Adil Rashid. He gives this plenty of air and then gets it to drift away. Agar is tempted and comes down the track. But then, he is beaten in the flight and misses the ball. Buttler doesn't. Collects and whips off the bails. Buttler and Rashid rejoice. This wicket means so much to them. Didn't look like Australia will come this far after Maxwell got out. Well played, Ashton Agar. He and Marsh have given their team some sort of a chance - if not, at least fought hard. Nice to see some fight shown.
Tim Paine (C) (W)c Adil Rashid b Liam Plunkett 15 11 1 0 136.36
45.2
L Plunkett to Tim Paine, OUT! Caught next ball! The dropped chance barely matters. A short ball, on middle, Paine swivels and pulls it straight into the throat of Adil Rashid at long leg. He does not drop it. Paine is frustrated with himself. England will breathe with even more relief. Australia might have been dreaming about a win but now, everything depends solely on Marsh. 51 more needed from 28 balls.
Andrew Tyec Sam Billings b Adil Rashid 10 6 1 0 166.67
46.4
A Rashid to A Tye, OUT! 100 ODI WICKETS FOR ADIL RASHID! Becomes only the second England spinner after Graeme Swann (104) to reach this landmark. It is reached in the form of a googly which Tye looks to slog out of the park. However, he can only find Sam Billings at the wide long on fence. England are just a wicket away from a 2-0 series lead.
Jhye Richardsonc Jason Roy b Liam Plunkett 2 3 0 0 66.67
47.1
L Plunkett to J Richardson, OUT! That ends the game. Plunkett finishes with four wickets. A length ball outside off, slower in pace, Jhye Richardson heaves it towards long on where Jason Roy comes running in and takes a brilliant diving catch. ENGLAND WIN BY 38 RUNS AND GO 2-0 UP!!!
