Australia Vs England Live Cricket Score - Live Score, Match 2 - Full Scorecard

K Richardson to J Roy, OUT! Richardson draws first blood! He could have had two in this over had Maxwell taken the catch of Hales. Nevertheless, he has Roy to his name now. A soft dismissal. Kane bowls a slower ball on off, it stops a bit in the surface. Roy is early into his shot and he balloons a catch to Tye at covers who accepts it with ease. An early wicket for Australia. They needed this after the start the England batsmen got off to. They would now look to pull things back.

A Agar to A Hales, OUT! Caught and bowled! The bowling change has done the trick here. A much-needed wicket for Australia. Agar tosses the ball on middle, Hales tries to play the across the line and pays the price for it. He closes the bat face early and it goes off the leading edge towards Agar who for a second must have been blinded as Malan was standing right in front of him as Ashton went for the catch. He though still did well and grabbed it at the last moment. He also signals to the keeper that he did not see it. A good partnership comes to an end.

G Maxwell to D Malan, OUT! Malan cannot stay there till the end. What a gamble from Warner. It pays off. Malan looks to take on Maxwell, going for the sweep against the turn, with the wind. But all he can do is spoon a catch to Andrew Tye at deep backward square leg! End of a brilliant knock.

G Maxwell to E Morgan, OUT! In the air... caught! Another England batsman pays the price for going across the line! Maxwell tosses this one up outside off, also gets it to turn away a little. Morgan tries to go big but across the line. He gets a top edge which goes high up in the air towards mid off. Warner from covers goes running towards the ball and takes it reverse cup style. Another timely wicket for Australia. England are scoring at a good rate here but are losing wickets at regular intervals.

M Stoinis to Jos Buttler, OUT! This time the slower ball does Buttler in! Excellent bowling from Stoinis. Rolls his fingers over it, deceives the batsman and the striker is early into his push towards mid off. Does not even bother to run once he mistimes the shot. Because he knows where it is heading. Towards one of the most dependable Aussie fielders at mid off. Glenn Maxwell cups it close to the ground. A big, big wicket with the death overs approaching.

A Agar to Sam Billings, OUT! Second wicket, second caught and bowled! Agar cannot believe his luck. Neither can Billings. He jumps down the track, is not to the pitch of the ball, but still looks to flick. All he manages is a leading edge back to the bowler. This time Agar has no one standing in front of him as the ball comes straight to his left side. Australia pulling things back big time.

G Maxwell to D Willey, OUT! Stumped! Two in two! Excellent bowling from Maxwell but what has Willey done? Blindly comes down the track in spite of seeing his senior partner get dismissed on the previous ball. Misses it and Alex Carey behind does not miss. Stumps him in a flash. Willey tries to drag his foot back but is late. Maxwell on a hat-trick!

B Stanlake to A Rashid, OUT! Number 8 falls! A short ball, on middle, Rashid picks out the slower ball and goes for the pull. However, he mistimes it as the ball goes off the toe end of the bat, straight to Marcus Stoinis at deep mid-wicket! What a collapse.

A Tye to Tom Curran, OUT! Super ball, super catch! The knuckle ball. Not many in the world pick that. Neither does Tom Curran. he has made up his mind to go over the off side but does not read the slower ball. Is early into his shot and the ball lobs over cover. It seems easier for the sweeper to come in but instead David Warner chooses to run back. Sweeper is alert and backs off. The skipper keeps his eyes on the ball and then takes a fantastic catch. Then pumps his fists in jubilation.

D Willey to D Warner, OUT! Gone next ball! Warner cannot believe his luck. A short ball, the skipper absolutely creams a pull shot. The ball is travelling but it finds Alex Hales with precision at the mid-wicket fence! Warner cannot buy too many runs these days. Or nights.

A Rashid to D Short, OUT! That is a stinger! What a catch. Very full on middle, Short, getting frustrated with the piling dots, goes hard at it. Hits the ball straight back to the bowler, who initially ducks out of the way but out of pure reflex, sticks out his right hand. And the ball sticks! That ends a partnership of 78 in 48 balls. Do England have an opening? Australia need 74 from 68 balls.

D Willey to C Lynn, OUT! BOWLED! England off to a rocking start here! Who remembers that first-ball boundary? Forget it! Australia are 4/2! Full on middle, Lynn plays a nothing shot. Just looks to flick without moving his feet but the ball moves. Swings in, beats the inside edge, hits the front pad, then the back pad and eventually ricochets onto the stumps! Terrific bowling.

M Wood to M Stoinis, OUT! One shot too many you can say! Having got a boundary of the last ball this was completely needless. Wood bangs it on a length around off, it bounces a touch extra. Stoinis once again tries to go big but only manages to hit it up in the air towards mid on. Billings in that region runs to his left and takes a neat catch. 58 from 50 needed. England are trying to fight back. Also, replays later on show Wood went wide of the crease there and also bowled it with a slightly different action.

D Willey to T Head, OUT! TIMBER! The game is not over yet. 29 now from 25 needed. A yorker on middle, Head goes for the big heave but completely misses it and the ball disturbs the furniture behind. Willey is pumped.
