Aaron Finch, who got to his sixth One-Day International (ODI) century a while ago has also managed to put a 100-run stand with skipper George Bailey. This is a huge moment in the match as Australia looked in deep trouble after David Warner (22), Shane Watson (0) and Steven Smith (5) in quick succession. Stuart Broad picked up the first two wickets of the match and Chris Woakes picked up the third one. Live Updates: Australia vs England Pool A match at Melbourne

Bailey, who hasn’t been in good nick, will be delighted with the way he has gone about his innings. This partnership has set a platform from where he the batsmen to follow can use the long handle and get Australia to a humongous total. Glenn Maxwell and wicket-keeper Brad Haddin are the batsmen to follow and they are very capable of taking the match away from England in a flash.

Eoin Morgan had won the toss earlier and decided to bowl first. It seemed like the decision was justified after a series of wickets fell. Although the openers put on 50-plus runs for the opening wicket, England have done extremely to peg their way back into the match until this partnership took charge.
