James Taylor brings up his fifth One-Day International (ODI) off 61 balls and has put up over 50 runs for the seventh wicket along with Chris Woakes. Taylor did not bat in his regular spot at No.3 and batted at No.6 when his side were in deep trouble. Taylor and England will need a miracle to win from here as they try to chase down a target of 343 after a brilliant century by Aaron Finch. India vs Pakistan Live Score

Skipper George Bailey and Glenn Maxwell too scored individual centuries to ensure that Australia finish at a record breaking score of 342 for nine in 50 overs. Steven Finn’s maiden hat-trick was not good enough to restrict Australia to a lower score. Mithcell Maesh has already secured a fifer on World Cup debut , which has put England on the mat.

England had earlier won the toss and elected to bowl first but they will be utterly disappointed after they were once again let down by their bowlers in spite of getting off to a decent start. England lost their last warm-up match against Pakistan from a winning position and will be extremely low on confidence if they lose this match by a huge margin.
