Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of the fourth One-Day International (ODI) of the five-match series between England and Australia at Headingley in Leeds. This is Ayush Gupta and I will be bringing you the live updates from this all important clash between two arch-rivals. Having scripted a win in the 3rd ODI by 93 runs, England have more or less opened the door to stay alive in the series. Although Australia still have 2-1 lead with two games to go. England have most likely got the momentum they badly wanted following the loss in the opening couple of games. Although Australia have the psychological advantage moving into the game, England have the home advantage as well as the confidence they derived from the last game that could perfectly work in their favour. An Australian win here will give them the series, whereas if England can beat the Aussies, they will level the game. Who will have the last laugh? Follow all the updates here.

So, what a way to win and it surely will be termed as one of the most memorable wins in England’s recent past, as coming on to square series after two matches down is one of the rarest things you will see in cricket. Nevertheless, it was the crucial knock of skipper Eoin Morgan (92), James Taylor (41) and Ben Stokes (41) that did it for England. It would be interesting to see as how things now unfold in the final tie at Manchester that has now turned into a decider. Until next time, it’s good-bye from myself Ayush Gupta, as it has been an absolute pleasure bringing you all the updates. However, before you leave, take some time out to read the match report by our correspondent, Pramod Ananth.

So, with Australia having played out their innings, it was indeed a scary start for the World Champions as they lost three quick wickets as David Willey was indeed on a roll in the opening 10 overs. However, it was the innings from Glenn Maxwell, George Bailey and Matthew Wade that helped Australia recover from the tough scenario and post a respectful total. How will England respond, is the million dollar question now. We will soon be back with England’s chase. However, for the time being, take some time out to read out the Australian innings report by Pramod Ananth.

Live Cricket Score Australia 299/7 | Overs 50 | Batting: Matthew Wade 50 (26), John Hasting 34 (26): THAT”S IT!!!!

The laste few overs are indeed turning out to be fruitful for the Aussies, while for the English it proving to be costly. The 250 is up as well for the Aussies.

 

 

Live Cricket Score Australia 245/7 | Overs 46 | Batting: Matthew Wade 8 (10), John Hasting 22 (18): Good three overs from Australia’s perspective as John Hastings seems to be in the mood of scoring and is almost going after every ball from hereon to score runs in a flurry as the innings approaches towards the end.

 

 

 

 

Live Cricket Score Australia 217/7 | Overs 43 | Batting: Matthew Wade 2 (4), John Hasting 0 (6): AND AGAIN!!!! Australia seem to be tumbling down here.

Live Cricket Score Australia 211/6| Overs 41 | Batting: Marcus Stoinis 1 (3), Matthew Wade 0 (0): DOUBLE BREAKTHROUGH!!!!

Marsh was soon followed by George Bailey, who too was dismissed by the same man after a stright slower ball was mis-read by Bailey and popped up off the bat to Plunkett’s hand. Marcus Stoinis and Matthew Wade are the two new men in.

OUT! Mitchell Marsh c David Willey b Liam Plunkett 17 (24), George Bailey c & b Plunkett 75 (110)

Altjhough Bailey has the momentum, it Mitchell Marsh who should capitalise on the good work doen so far by both the batsmen and should not commit any casual mistake that could cost the team.

 

 

Live Cricket Score Australia 169/4| Overs 30 | Batting: George Bailey 51 (70), Mitchell Marsh 1 (1): GONE!!!! Glenn Maxwell has been bowled up by Moeen Ali. What a time to strike, as just when he was looking strong and seemd was aiming for his century, Ali bowled a normal stright deliver, while Maxwell went for a reverse sweep and completely missed it, as a result shattering his leg stumps. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh has coming in.

OUT! Glenn Maxwell b Moeen Ali 85 (64)

 

 

Live Cricket Score Australia 165/3 | Overs 29 | Batting: George Bailey 50 (66), Glenn Maxwell 84 (62): FIFTY UP FOR BAILEY!

Live Cricket Score Australia 112/3 | Overs 22 | Batting: George Bailey 34 (47), Glenn Maxwell 47 (40): Another healthy and comfortable four overs for Ausrtralia as they continue to bat in the same manner.

Live Cricket Score Australia 91/3 | Overs 18 | Batting: George Bailey 24 (33), Glenn Maxwell 36 (30): The 50-run partnership is up as well between Bailey and Maxwell for the fourth wicket, although it has come for a price of the three opening wickets.

Live Cricket Score Australia 71/3 | Overs 15 | Batting: George Bailey 11 (20), Glenn Maxwell 30 (25): Still going good so far follwing the three early breakthroughs from David Willey. Both Bailey and Maxwell have been going good, with Maxwell palying confidently.

Live Cricket Score Australia 58/3 | Overs 12 | Batting: George Bailey 7 (11), Glenn Maxwell 21 (16): 50 up for the Aussies, although for the price of the crucial top-order wickets. Davis Willey has certainly been a nightmare for the Australia’s top batting order. However, it would be interesting to see how the middle over sopes up with the early setback and how things unfold in the upcoming overs. England must remeber that their job is not even half donbe and must continue to pile more pressure on the Aussie batsmen.

 

 

Live Cricket Score Australia 31/3 | Overs 9 | Batting: George Bailey 1 (5), Glenn Maxwell 1 (3): NO.3 GOES DOWN!!!! Willey continues to strike as he gets the opener, Aaron Finch caught behind off Jonathan Bairstow. Astraight rising delivery, Finch just knicks it to the wicketkeeper, and Bairstow collwcts it comfortably. Australia seem to be in all trouble with three wickets down in just nine overs as the hard-hitting glenn Maxwell makes his way in. However, he will have second thoughts as of now whether to go hard-hitting at this situation.

OUT! Aaron Finch c Jonathan Bairstow b David Willey 15 (27)

 

 

Live Cricket Score Australia 25/2 | Overs 7 | Batting: Aaron Finch 11 (19), George Bailey 0 (4): GONE AGAIN!!!! David Willey strikes again as it’s the skipper this time. Steven Smith has been adjudjed leg-before as a perfect full length delivery hit straight onto the pads of Smith, which he looked to flick across the on-side. George zbailey is the new man in as Willey seems to be on a roll here, generating a good amount of swing.

OUT! Steven Smith lbw b David Willey 5 (12)

 

 

Live Cricket Score Australia 14/1 | Overs 3 | Batting: Aaron Finch 7 (10), Steven Smith 0 (1): GONE!!!! Joe Burns has been bowled by David Willey, as he plays it on to his stumps, following an agled-cross bowl from the fatst bowler.

Australia win toss, decide to bat first.

Both teams have made two changes. For Australia Marcus Stoinis makes his debut in place of Ashton Agar. John Hastings also comes into the team in place of Mitchell Starc.
