Bell, Root dismissed in quick succession at ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
Ian Bell is dismissed for 34 off 45 deliveries by Mitchell Marsh after a brilliant catch by Mitchell Starc at deep mid-wicket. Joe Root soon followed Bell back to the pavilion after he just managed five off 12 balls. Marsh’s hat-trick delivery is negotiated well by skipper Eoin Morgan. England are in deep trouble now and it is up to the skipper Morgan to resurrect the England innings. Live Updates: Australia vs England Pool A match at Melbourne

Morgan and young James Taylor will be entrusted to build a decent partnership to ensure that England get as close as possible to the target of 343 that Australia set earlier in the day. This partnership will be key as only Jos Buttler is the only recognised batsman to follow. Live Scorecard of Australia vs England 2nd ODI Pool A match at Melbourne
Eoin Morgan won the toss and decided that England will bowl first on this pitch at Melbourne. He would have been happy initially but as Aaron Finch and George Bailey took control, it seemed like it would be difficult for England to claw their way back. Glenn Maxwell’s 30-ball half-century too helped Australia post this huge score. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: POINTS TABLE
