Aaron Finch, who scored his sixth One-Day International (ODI) century has been run out by Eoin Morgan for 135 off 128 balls, which included 12 fours and three sixes. Finch was looking for a quick run but a misunderstanding between skipper George Bailey unfortunately ended his innings as he could not get back on time. George Bailey too went after a couple of overs for 55 off 69 balls as he played a ball on to his stumps off the bowling of Steven Finn. Live Updates: Australia vs England Pool A match at Melbourne

England will now breathe a huge sigh of relief as Finch and Bailey were looking to punish the England bowling. Australia will now look to hard-hitting batsmen Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh and Brad Haddin to get their team to a winnings position. England will look for a few more innings and look to restrict Australia to under 300. Live Scorecard of  Australia vs England 2nd ODI Pool A match at Melbourne

England bowlers had earlier put their team on top after Eoin Morgan won the toss and elected to bowl first. Australia got off to a brisk start but lost the first three wickets in a hurry to peck their way back into the game. They will now hope that the wickets of Finch and Bailey will give them the momentum to pick up a few more wickets and restrict Australia to as less runs as possible.  ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: POINTS TABLE
