The Trophy shared between India and Sri Lanka. The trophy belongs to the | :00:12. | :00:22. | |
Australian team. 2013, India! Hello and welcome to Edgbaston for the | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
final group a match of the 2017 Champions Trophy. For Australia this | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
is a must win. For England a victory would continue their winning | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
momentum into the semifinals, but their real incentive must surely be | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
the chance to eliminate their oldest foes. The scenario is simple. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
England are through to the semifinals no matter what, and | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Australia will qualify if they win this game. In the event of Australia | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
losing or the match being washed out, Bangladesh will progress. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Regardless of the result, England will finish top of the group because | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
of the primary tie-break rule. England's opponents in the first | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
semifinal on Wednesday are yet to be decided, with the hotly contested | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
group B match is concluding on Monday. All four teams level on two | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
points, they all have a chance to qualify. England remain unchanged | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
from their win over New Zealand. The only question mark has been the form | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
of Jason Roy who scored 27 runs in his past five innings and has | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
reached 50 just once in his last ten. The captain hasn't wavered from | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
backing Jason Roy despite the presence of Jonny Bairstow on the | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
sidelines. Australia also unchanged but it's worth noting that other | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
than Finch, Warner, Smith and Henriques, the rest are yet to face | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
a ball in this tournament largely thanks to the British weather. Eoin | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Morgan won the toss and elected to bowl first. England have lost 12 of | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
the last 15 one-day internationals against Australia, but they have 12 | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
of the last three. The forecast suggests it showers mid-afternoon | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
which should hopefully allow enough time to complete the match. If the | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
past couple of days in the UK are anything to go by the art of | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
predicting a result is difficult even for the experts. This one could | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
definitely go either way in front of a noisy Edgbaston crowd. Chris | :02:23. | :02:39. | |
Gaffney and Kumar Dharmasena are the umpires. COMMENTATOR: Just holding | :02:40. | :02:51. | |
up of the seam. A good start from Jake Ball, a maiden to start with. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
Pummelled down the ground by Finch, is looking for that short ball. | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
Well, that's off a thick inside edge. Finch was looking to hit that | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
one straight as well. The second boundary of the over. Short. Pulled | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
away, very, very firmly. Just in the last few deliveries, maybe a sense | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
by these batsmen are starting to find their range. That's a great | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
shot from Warner. Just wait for the right ball in the right slot and let | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
your instincts take over. That's what he's attempting. Because he's | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
out there he's still got that chance. You are on the way out, he | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
was on the way back in, is that right? More evidence of the trust | :03:41. | :03:51. | |
that exists between Warner and Finch. Your partner calls and you're | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
off. That's why they bat well together, they trust the call. Finch | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
is away and you still a couple of singles. Adil Rashid is quite fine | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
down there at fine leg. Another boundary for Warner. Just a bit | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
tight. Warner is a class act. If you get a bit too tired, any resemblance | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
of a bad ball, he generally puts it away. Bowled. Good length. Both | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
batsmen almost hanging, looking for the short ball. That's a bit fuller | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
and a better length. They are very keen, these two | :04:32. | :04:45. | |
Australians, to nick any singles they can. That's why Finch has been | :04:46. | :04:57. | |
looking when the bowlers have been a bit wide. He didn't quite connect. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
He just watched these two, there's a nod and off you go. Wide of mid-on. | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
Very, very quick onto anything short today. Short cover. One slip in | :05:12. | :05:24. | |
play. Is that an edge? It is! Warner's on his way. Good bowling, | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
good length, grabbing the outside edge. Wood, England's talisman in | :05:29. | :05:42. | |
this tournament so far. Going across him, finds the outside edge, and a | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
big wicket for England. Just the man they want to get. Warner gone the | :05:47. | :06:00. | |
21. Good stroke. As soon as it gets up here and across the stumps, Steve | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
Smith very rarely misses out. It's been wonderful to watch these top | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
batters and Smith in particular. He hits through the line. It's | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
glorious. Really good stroke there from Finch. Is that the stroke that | :06:20. | :06:34. | |
gets him going? Outstanding shot. He's going to get back, Smith. It | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
was an awkward one for mid-on. Stokes was the fielder, he got | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
himself into an awkward position, a backhanded role in the end. For a | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
moment Smith was in real trouble. Extravagant. Pulled away and pull | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
hard. That's going to go away quickly for four. He's tried quite a | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
bit already. That's four more. Leg side followed by off-side, pressure | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
on Stokes. He's been a bit short. An overcorrection, there. As good as | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
the pull shot was from Finch, I think this is an even better shot. | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
Jason Roy had no chance, it flies away to the fence. Edged away. It | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
was a slip a roundabout first slip, Buttler couldn't get there. Streaky | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
from Smith. It was full and wide. Tucked away on the leg side. That | :07:36. | :07:50. | |
will be 50 fat Aaron Finch. He's got a good record against England. He's | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
played a lot of cricket and County cricket in this country. He's a | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
danger man, make no mistake. He's played very well. Seven boundaries | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
in that total, just 47 balls. Really important for Australia but Aaron | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Finch goes on with this. He can be very destructive at the back-end of | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
the innings as well. Driven down the ground, gets past mid-on. | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Outfielders always quick at Edgbaston. Lovely shot from Steven | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
Smith. Close. Has he just got outside the line? He's begging for | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
the lbw. The key is the line there. Morgan asking, did it hit him in | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
line? He's asking Buttler. Buttler says, no, skipper. Another wrong | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
one. There's enough doubt for the England captain not to go upstairs. | :08:49. | :08:58. | |
Only the inside edge was debatable. Three reds. Full toss. He never | :08:59. | :09:10. | |
misses out, Steve Smith. You bowl him a bad ball, he will hit you for | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
four. Good shot from Finch. He's hit that hard. Finch, in the air. | :09:16. | :09:27. | |
Plunkett's under it. Is it going to land safe? Good catch. Calmness from | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
the skipper. There were three people converging. Morgan yelled, minor! | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
There was a calmness about him, an excellent catch to get rid of the | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
dangerous Aaron Finch. Stokes is the man again. This is an excellent | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
catch from Eoin Morgan. Never easy running back like that. An excellent | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
catch. And a big smile, I think he was pretty relieved he hung on to | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
it, too. Aaron Finch is gone. He was starting to look dangerous. | :10:00. | :10:13. | |
That's a nice shot. That will give Moises Henriques a bit of | :10:14. | :10:23. | |
confidence. A short one, a good shot. That's an excellent shot. He's | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
pretty good on the short ball, Moises Henriques. Back-to-back | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
boundaries. Good shot. Excellent shot. That's another boundary for | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
Henriques. Gone. Henriques. He hit a couple of | :10:39. | :10:57. | |
boundaries and tried to go after Rashid. A pretty soft, loose shot. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Good captaincy from Eoin Morgan, bringing the field up. Trying to | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
tempt Henriques to go over the top. He tried it, didn't quite get it and | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
an easy dismissal therefore England. Super shot from Head. That's four. | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
He's got some presence, this boy. Smith on 49. He'll take the single | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
and it'll be more than that, well timed. It's getting away from the | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
fielder, its four and it's his 50. It's only his third against England | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
in 23 innings in one-day internationals. A really nice | :11:41. | :11:55. | |
action. CHEERING The Australians are getting starts | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
but they aren't going on with it. Smith was unhappy with Moises | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
Henriques a short time ago, now he's livid with himself. Talked about the | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
ability to try to transfer his weight back into the shot, he didn't | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
do it here and a simple catch to Liam Plunkett at mid-off. | :12:13. | :12:23. | |
It's a wicket maiden, terrific over. Still 181 but the wickets have | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
changed now. Four. Finally, he's away. Took nine | :12:29. | :12:44. | |
deliveries for Maxwell but England right now are dragging it back. This | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
is hurting Australia's overall total. Edged and just out of the | :12:48. | :12:58. | |
reach at first slip! Joe Root was the man. He put in a good effort. | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
Just couldn't get there. Moeen Ali into his fourth over. He's only gone | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
for seven runs, it's been outstanding. There goes Maxwell. | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
Brilliant fielding! England are making it very difficult at the | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
moment. Really good build-up of pressure here from Moeen. Just as | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
you say that, he releases it. The man on the reverse sweep of behind | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
square so hits it in front of square. Root goes back on the extra | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
cover in a circle. Saying you can have a single, if you want. He hits | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
it hard and hits it for four. That's the advantage of having the reverse | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
sweep in your locker. It means Rashid has to go behind square. If | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
you didn't have a reverse sweep this would have gone for one run to the | :13:54. | :14:04. | |
sweeper. Again, attacking him up. He moved him squarer, not square | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
enough. That was wide. He wanted to bowl a short ball. Good | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
communication between Bonn and captain there. -- bowler and | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
captain. Tennis shot and nailed for four. Good batting from Travis Head. | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
He's looked really dangerous today. He said everything right in the | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
middle of the bat. I think we'll see Rashid bowl a lot of wrong ones from | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
this angle to the left-hander. It's a full tossed. It's burst through | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Eoin Morgan's hands. Poor cricket all round. Hit hard and dropped! | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
That could be costly... And they run a chance! I reckon the end to throw | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
at was Maxwell's, that could be a key moment in this game. They are | :15:00. | :15:10. | |
going to have a look. Comfortably home. Not a man you want to drop | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
with eight overs to go, Glenn Maxwell. There a man out there, he's | :15:14. | :15:23. | |
going to have to jump. He does. I think he's done that, you know! I | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
think he has, its Jason Roy. It's quite brilliant. Roy looks | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
comfortable. They are having a look upstairs. REFEREE: His front foot, | :15:35. | :15:49. | |
please. Can you zoom that angle for me. | :15:50. | :16:03. | |
I can see a gap between his foot and the edge of the green. Glenn Maxwell | :16:04. | :16:33. | |
felt it was out when he was watching the big screen. He's gone for 20. | :16:34. | :16:45. | |
Now, is that the wrong one? Persistency from Morgan comes at a | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
good time in the 44th over. Gets rid of a dangerous Matthew Wade. Knocked | :16:52. | :17:08. | |
him over. A full toss, Rashid strikes again. That sweep shot has | :17:09. | :17:17. | |
gone straight up in the air again. He won't be happy with that, | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
Australia won't be happy either. The advantage of a leg-spinner. Full | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
toss, sweep shots. Top edge found. Australia had just had a bad few | :17:28. | :17:49. | |
overs here. They've lost 3-7 in 11 deliveries. Well bowled. Bowled | :17:50. | :18:03. | |
again. What a spell from Rashid. Superstar. He's got Australia in all | :18:04. | :18:16. | |
sorts of trouble. Cummins is gone the four. A nice quote easy bowling | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
for him. Australia are struggling. Just need a couple of wickets to | :18:21. | :18:38. | |
wrap up this innings for Australia. Australia need to bat out the overs. | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
Another 23 deliveries. That's his 50, Travis Head. Well played. Bowled | :18:45. | :18:58. | |
him! 90 miles an hour full toss and it knocks the woodwork over. England | :18:59. | :19:13. | |
on fire. Too fast, too straight. He's set the tone. His opening | :19:14. | :19:23. | |
bowling combination is good, Zampa is gone. In the air, and... Safe. | :19:24. | :19:39. | |
That was a good effort down there at the man. He picked it up late, just | :19:40. | :19:47. | |
a bit late to move. Now, straight down... Over it goes. The last over | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
off to a good start. Great shot from Travis Head. That's how short that | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
boundary is out there. Not a good delivery from Stokes. You'd think he | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
would try to force Head to go to the boundary. He hits it back into the | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
leg stump channel. As you say, half hit it's gone. Has he got to him | :20:12. | :20:20. | |
again? It's in the air. Great to react down there, Plunkett. He's | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
dropped him. -- late to react. He was very late to move and then | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
didn't pick it up, then there was plenty of time and he just fumbled | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
it. Stokes again. Over the top. That'll be four. | :20:41. | :20:51. | |
They are looking for two, there's only one there. They've got two. | :20:52. | :21:02. | |
Sloppy fielding in the deep. It is two to finish with. It's 277-9. | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
There's runs on the board. There we have it, what a great first innings. | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
Australia started well with the bat. Finch and Warner providing a decent | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
start. Smith steadied the ship in the middle overs but once he was | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
out, they lost their way. The Aussies kept losing wickets, 5-15 | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
they lost and weren't able to score with freedom. Australia will owe a | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
lot to Travis Head if they win this game, he was fighting a lone battle | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
towards the end and played a gem of an innings. England owed a lot to | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
Mark Wood and Adil Rashid who both took four wickets. Ben Stokes took | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
the remaining wickets and I'm sure Eoin Morgan would have been pleased | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
he restricted Australians under 300. It's Jason Roy and Alex Hales who | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
open the batting England, with Mitchell Starc bowling first for | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
Australia. COMMENTATOR: Very full and that's a gift for a Jason Roy. | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
Big juicy full toss to start. You wouldn't mind one of those for the | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
first ball of your innings. He's going to attack the stumps but they | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
can't afford to be overly aggressive, the Australians. Easy | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
full toss. England are underway. Close. He's given him. He must have | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
thought long and hard as to whether that pitched outside leg stump, and | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
I think Roy for that reason has decided to review. REFEREE: Can you | :22:42. | :22:51. | |
start from the front foot, please. Front foot coming up. Can you go | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
onto front spin vision, please. Do you have anything from front on, | :22:58. | :23:29. | |
Mark? OK. Can you give me Hot Spot. Rock and roll it. OK, there's no | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
mark. Can you go to ultra-edge. You can stay with your original | :23:34. | :24:00. | |
decision. It's a long, slow death for Jason Roy, who put his first | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
ball away to the boundary but is lbw now to Mitchell Starc. The question | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
is whether it pitched outside leg stump but it pitched just in line. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
It certainly wasn't going over and Roy has gone. His poor form | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
continues. Just a bit of swing there, Mitchell | :24:20. | :24:38. | |
Starc. Very full again. I like the length of the second ball to Jason | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
Roy. That knee roll length is difficult to play. A bit of shape | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
in, it's the same skids on. Traps Roy plumb in front. Really good | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
start the Starc. That's the sort of length ads rather see him bowl. | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
Gone! I think it has carried. Australia have a second. This is a | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
perfect start for them and now it's Alex Hales, just nibbling outside | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
off-stump. It was spot-on. Spot-on to Joe Root first ball and even | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
better to Alex Hales 's second ball. Catches the seam, thin outside edge. | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
Well taken by Finch at first slip lowdown. A great breakthrough for | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
Australia and Hazlewood. Eoin Morgan joins Joe Root at the crease and | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
Australia on the attack. Three slips. For Hazlewood. Natural angle | :25:42. | :25:59. | |
is across the left-hander as well. See the replay, the Alex Hales | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
dismissal. Textbook. Hazlewood bowling. Slight bit bangle in. Wide | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
on the crease. Just clips the seam. Squares Hales up. Easily taken, | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
Aaron Finch. Seemed like it took forever to get to the man at first | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
slip. He had a long time to think about it. Roy gone for four, Hales | :26:23. | :26:31. | |
for a duck. Mitchell Starc about to start his second over. Nasser, what | :26:32. | :26:42. | |
have you got for us? It's usually a combination of technique and your | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
mental state. Look at the way he falls over, he almost falls over at | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
the crease. Look at the position there. There's the position of a | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
person searching for four. He's running, he's no idea where the ball | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
has gone, what am I doing. He doesn't ask Alex Hales at the other | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
end, what do you reckon about the lbw? He himself calls for the | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
review. Just there, he calls for a review. Technically he's all over | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
the place. But face coming at an angle, he's falling across. No way | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
does he stop and go to Alex Hales, what do you reckon? I'm just going | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
to have one for myself. Speaks a man who knows all about that! LAUGHTER | :27:28. | :27:40. | |
It wasn't quite wide enough, if anything sort of in between. Trying | :27:41. | :27:48. | |
to end ties that big drive and potential neck behind the stumps. | :27:49. | :27:57. | |
Beautiful shot from Joe Root. Classic cover drive, down on one | :27:58. | :28:10. | |
knee, good balance. Eoin Morgan, meeting fire with fire. I'd seen him | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
do this throughout the tournament. Very early on in his innings, he | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
looks to come on the charge to the quick bowler. Whether it's to try | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
and get some momentum into the ball, I think every innings in this | :28:23. | :28:24. | |
Champions Trophy he's done that. Down the leg side. Wade moving | :28:25. | :28:43. | |
sharply to his right but couldn't cling on. Runs given, two to Morgan. | :28:44. | :28:52. | |
It looked like it might have caught a glove on the way past which tends | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
to slow the ball down a bit. Wade moves late to his right with | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
outstretched glove. Didn't get it right in the middle of the glove. | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
Just high on the thumb. The keepers try and catch those right in the | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
webbing of their glove and that one just avoided it and Morgan got a | :29:12. | :29:21. | |
life. Taken! Wade catches the ball, Hazlewood is the bowler and Root the | :29:22. | :29:24. | |
batsman. Classic fast bowling from Hazlewood. | :29:25. | :29:36. | |
Fine edge, easily taken by Matthew at Wade, one step across to his | :29:37. | :29:40. | |
right. Root committed to the poor defence. A little further taken by | :29:41. | :29:47. | |
Wade. The Australians are up. Huge breakthrough. Root on his way. | :29:48. | :29:54. | |
England 3-35. Game on here. Australia made 277-9 for their 50 | :29:55. | :29:58. | |
overs. They have three early wickets. That's close, pitching just | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
outside leg stump, I fancy. Huge appeal. I think you are spot on. | :30:04. | :30:12. | |
With the angle that Hazlewood balls and knowing swing as such, you'd | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
think that is pitched just a little bit outside the line of leg stump. | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
Huge appeal from the Australians, as you'd expect, to a brand-new batsman | :30:21. | :30:25. | |
and one of his quality. This is going to be tight. It's one of those | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
real tough ones for the fielding captain. | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
But I thought he was running up, I thought Mitchell Starc is running so | :30:37. | :30:44. | |
gingerly to the crease. It was a really long half volley. The break | :30:45. | :30:51. | |
is done Eoin Morgan no harm. It was a simple step into the ball, plunged | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
into the off-side field. Great start from Morgan. Four boundaries already | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
is now in his innings. 15 deliveries, 18 not out. Fall again | :31:02. | :31:09. | |
ad driven again to the cover boundary again. -- it was full again | :31:10. | :31:17. | |
and driven again to the boundary. There's been nothing in the air at | :31:18. | :31:25. | |
all. Very much like a half volley. He has to bowl yorker, otherwise get | :31:26. | :31:33. | |
back on that knee roll links, bang, right in the middle of the bat. | :31:34. | :31:43. | |
Australia know they can be a bit patient. Good shot from Stokes. They | :31:44. | :31:51. | |
are only really one wicket away from getting into Moeen Ali on the | :31:52. | :31:52. | |
bowlers. 50 up for England. With all is going for four, the | :31:53. | :32:12. | |
short balls going for six. -- with Paul balls going for four. That was | :32:13. | :32:17. | |
a good shot from Morgan, I'm not convinced that was on the splice. | :32:18. | :32:22. | |
Got in a better position than he normally does with the short ball. | :32:23. | :32:27. | |
That hasn't got the extra pace, Josh Hazlewood, he's better off sticking | :32:28. | :32:30. | |
with that line and length and that's not very far. It's just lobbed over, | :32:31. | :32:39. | |
high on the back. -- high on the bat. Very dangerous, his bat swing | :32:40. | :32:47. | |
will put you away all day. Of straight -- stump is nearly two | :32:48. | :32:52. | |
straight for Ben Stokes. Imagine fifth or sixth stump for Ben Stokes. | :32:53. | :32:56. | |
It wasn't a bad delivery, just a fraction straight, but he's so | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
strong, Ben Stokes. He hits the ball right under his eyes, doesn't try to | :33:02. | :33:10. | |
overhit it. Up in the air, top edge, six. It's another six and a short | :33:11. | :33:20. | |
ball. Top edge that one, that's the real short boundary down there. | :33:21. | :33:26. | |
Another want to clear the friends easily. No diagrams on the | :33:27. | :33:32. | |
scorecard, that's six. What a shot that is. He is in such good touch, | :33:33. | :33:41. | |
Ben Stokes. That's just pure class. Absolute class. That's nothing more | :33:42. | :33:46. | |
than the extended ball on the fence. There is a little bit of nibble on | :33:47. | :33:52. | |
the pitch. It's a good length, just a four. Excellent timing, good | :33:53. | :33:58. | |
power. That is -- there is absolutely nothing wrong with that | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
delivery and it's gone for four. He couldn't believe it. Steve Smith | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
couldn't believe it. He's got the double teapot at slip. Recovering | :34:05. | :34:12. | |
from a poor start, now 91-3. Two players with great touch in the | :34:13. | :34:13. | |
middle. That's blistering. In this | :34:14. | :34:27. | |
partnership he is motoring, no doubt about it, England have got | :34:28. | :34:33. | |
themselves saddled again. -- they are settled. Over the top, it will | :34:34. | :34:40. | |
be four. Still pretty good. It's been too much of the same from | :34:41. | :34:46. | |
Australia. Good pace. Using a lot of the short balls. Boy, have Morgan | :34:47. | :34:53. | |
and Stokes pounced on anything loose. | :34:54. | :35:02. | |
That will go as well. He's dishing up. Not a good delivery. It doesn't | :35:03. | :35:15. | |
look to be any real plan to what Cummins is trying to do here. We see | :35:16. | :35:25. | |
the long full toss, a cutter gone wrong. Stokes doesn't miss that. I | :35:26. | :35:30. | |
do love watching Stokes against the seam. He keeps a very subtle. It's | :35:31. | :35:38. | |
short, he latches onto the Paul shot. A chance now, hit too hard. | :35:39. | :35:51. | |
Great shot from Stokes. Made on mid-off-macro in the ring, he | :35:52. | :35:56. | |
touches down the background. -- he punches it down the ground. I'm | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
flabbergasted. Long boundary leg side, two left-handers, it surely | :36:02. | :36:02. | |
was the right call to go to Zampa. All the way, flat. That's 50, what a | :36:03. | :36:18. | |
way to bring it up. It didn't get high at all, but it went all the | :36:19. | :36:26. | |
way. Just the 39 ball for Stokes, he's been beautiful to watch. He's | :36:27. | :36:31. | |
got a England back in the game. Spoken about his ability to get the | :36:32. | :36:35. | |
Paul or book shot and he got onto that quickly. It's his second 50 | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
against Australia. The crowd loves it. There's another 50. It's Eoin | :36:39. | :36:49. | |
Morgan who is the sort of player when he finds Paul, and he did | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
before this tournament, he can run with it for a long period of time. | :36:55. | :37:01. | |
Terrific innings. It has been, it's been controlled. The counterpunching | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
has started with the captain Eoin Morgan, striker in at 98, two sixes, | :37:06. | :37:08. | |
six balls. Took himself to be on-side with the | :37:09. | :37:21. | |
fee to open up. All he needed to do was find the gap, and he did. You | :37:22. | :37:26. | |
feel with Stokes he needs is boundaries. Not going to go too long | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
without looking for one. He showed his stumps, up on the on-side, | :37:30. | :37:35. | |
slight lack -- slight lack of a length from Zampa and he's leapt | :37:36. | :37:36. | |
onto it. That will be six. It will bring up | :37:37. | :37:53. | |
the hundreds for the stand between these two as well. They are | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
dominating. You have to have England in front right now. | :37:58. | :38:08. | |
Why bother let's have a bit more of this, have some of that, Glenn | :38:09. | :38:15. | |
Maxwell and finish the over. That's massive, into the crowd. A big way | :38:16. | :38:17. | |
to finish the over. It's 152-3. That shot brings up the 154 England. | :38:18. | :38:37. | |
-- the 150, four England. Down the deck, over Warner's head, he's hit | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
it so hard. He didn't have a chance to brace himself. He's a good | :38:43. | :38:47. | |
player, this Ben Stokes, such a dangerous player. Didn't get the | :38:48. | :38:52. | |
elevation he wanted, Ben Stokes, but he hit it hard enough and flat | :38:53. | :38:57. | |
enough. There was just too much for Warner, just going too fast. Well, | :38:58. | :39:05. | |
now, is that the shot of the day? Goodness me. Have a look at this for | :39:06. | :39:11. | |
a shot. Pat Cummins has bowled a couple of good deliveries today and | :39:12. | :39:14. | |
Ben Stokes has done nothing more than just a block. Have a look at | :39:15. | :39:18. | |
this for a shot. Smith can't believe it either. This is just a little | :39:19. | :39:27. | |
punch, push into the on-side, it's braced away from him. Wow. He's | :39:28. | :39:30. | |
timed it beautifully since he came to the wicket as well. Just | :39:31. | :39:42. | |
continues to do so. Cut and Paul. -- pull. | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
That boundary is now a record, brings up a record partner for the | :39:47. | :39:56. | |
fourth wicket partnership, beating Alan Lamb and Derek Rumble in | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
Melbourne in 1982-83. -- Derek Randall. An excellent game. Talk | :40:01. | :40:08. | |
about excellent game, that's an excellent shot. Someone catch it in | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
the crowd! Hang on, he structured Higuain! That's a long way, that's | :40:13. | :40:18. | |
the big Rowntree out there as well -- hang on, he's dropped it again. A | :40:19. | :40:23. | |
super shot from Eoin Morgan. That's a long way back. It's gone a good 15 | :40:24. | :40:30. | |
or 20 rows back. This is just an absolute onslaught from England. | :40:31. | :40:36. | |
It's only 21 overs to go after this. Absolutely smashing Australia all | :40:37. | :40:41. | |
over the park. 91 metres, that one. It's a biggie, nearly an upper deck. | :40:42. | :40:49. | |
He's chipped it up. There's a mix-up! Here's a little bit of a | :40:50. | :41:00. | |
change for Australia! Is it enough? What a confusion here between Stokes | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
and Morgan. Stokes chipping the ball in the leg-side and not sure whether | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
one Morgan was just ball watching at the non-striker's end, but he didn't | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
see Stokes charging towards and by the time he realised he was well, | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
well short of his ground, so Morgan, who has played so well, has been run | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
out half the length of the pitch. He's gone for 87, the wicket | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
Australia desperately needed. England 194-4. | :41:26. | :41:34. | |
So Starc starting his ninth over. And getting belted through the | :41:35. | :41:42. | |
off-side. It's what Buttler can do. He's a powerful striker. | :41:43. | :41:48. | |
Oh, no, lost sight of it. Maxwell. It was there, it was a catch. | :41:49. | :42:19. | |
Somewhere though, he lost that white cherry. Two things, Buttler hits the | :42:20. | :42:25. | |
ball very hard. He absolutely creamed this short wide ball from | :42:26. | :42:28. | |
Starc but you are right, Maxwell just lost it. Started to dip on him, | :42:29. | :42:31. | |
came out of the crowd. Just cruising at the moment even | :42:32. | :42:46. | |
with the wicket of Morgan. Stokes looks in magnificent touch. He's | :42:47. | :42:49. | |
really belted this cricket ball today. That's another boundary. He | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
moves into the 90s. He's played exceptionally well, no doubt about | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
that, right from the first ball as well. See everything in the middle | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
of the bat, crisp timing. The ball has made a beautiful place in the | :43:04. | :43:11. | |
bat. Places it in the covers, four more. Down the ground, could be | :43:12. | :43:17. | |
taken, doesn't carry. Goes for four. The sun is up, Australia's day. Big | :43:18. | :43:41. | |
hit down the ground. Just short. All it can do is ricochet on the | :43:42. | :43:45. | |
boundary for four for Jos Buttler. He's on 21 now. | :43:46. | :43:52. | |
That's it, that's beautifully struck. That is very powerfully | :43:53. | :44:03. | |
struck, Jos Buttler. Right into that swing, right into that arc of his, | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
nice and full. You see here he stays very still, one simple movement, | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
into his art and bang down the ground. 95 metres. | :44:13. | :44:21. | |
Cut away, it will go away for four. The first Champions Trophy 104 Ben | :44:22. | :44:31. | |
Stokes. What a place to do it, a packed Edgbaston, against the Auld | :44:32. | :44:34. | |
enemy. Brilliant. Well played, Suber. -- super. Ben Stokes brings | :44:35. | :44:42. | |
up his third one-day international 100. His looks in total control | :44:43. | :44:51. | |
today. Every single Australia bowler, fast, spin or medium paced, | :44:52. | :44:56. | |
very good innings. Controlled the pace exceptionally well, he and his | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
captain, Eoin Morgan, set the pace early on and mode -- maintain the | :45:01. | :45:03. | |
momentum right the way through this chase. Just as he goes to 100 the | :45:04. | :45:11. | |
rain comes down yet again. It looks dark in the distance. England Way | :45:12. | :45:20. | |
ahead on Duckworth-Lewis. STUDIO: | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
After chasing 278, England got a 240-4 before the rain fell and | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
bought up premature end to the game. They were well ahead of the | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
Duckworth-Lewis Stern rule meaning England won by 40 runs. In truth | :45:34. | :45:37. | |
they were coasting to victory anyway. After a very shaky start for | :45:38. | :45:40. | |
England and another failure of the Jason Roy, the game turned on the | :45:41. | :45:44. | |
fantastic partnership of Captain Eoin Morgan and Ben Stokes, who | :45:45. | :45:49. | |
scored a masterful century, his third one-day international 100. | :45:50. | :45:52. | |
Australia failed to capitalise on their start with Hazelwood the pick | :45:53. | :45:57. | |
of the bowlers with two wickets. Ewan-macro Allen -- Eoin Morgan, if | :45:58. | :46:08. | |
I can start with you. We found a formula, the guys performing, I'm | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
very pleased. To lose to the Auld enemy and be knocked out in the same | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
day as disappointing? Yes, it is, we didn't play our best game and we put | :46:18. | :46:22. | |
ourselves in a poor position with the bat and kept losing wickets in | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
clubs. We lost 5-15 at one point and you are up against a quality outfit | :46:28. | :46:30. | |
like England, you are not going to win too many games when you do that. | :46:31. | :46:33. | |
It was disappointing from that aspect. Reasons for the soft | :46:34. | :46:38. | |
dismissals, not enough time in the middle for your team? I can't use | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
that as an excuse. We've all played a lot of cricket. You have to come | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
out and play on the big stage and today, we didn't do that. You have | :46:47. | :46:49. | |
maybe Sri Lanka Pakistan in the next semifinal. Are you bothered about | :46:50. | :46:54. | |
which side you play? I think either side. They will be tough to beat. | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
This is a very tough competition. As was proved yesterday, in the New | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
Zealand game, Bangladesh turning them over but you have to be at your | :47:05. | :47:10. | |
best in this tournament. That's the way it falls. It's the high level of | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
cricket that is required, so hopefully we can produce something | :47:16. | :47:21. | |
near our best. Have you ever ever hit the ball better? Is going along | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
nicely. It's probably the case now where I look back and I'm thinking | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
the reason why it's going well is the training is getting more | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
consistent. Also, having a bit more confidence going out to bat as well. | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
With the guys around, I've batted with Morgan quite a lot now so he's | :47:40. | :47:42. | |
an influence out there. Hopefully I can keep going forward. What were | :47:43. | :47:49. | |
your thoughts at 35-3? Not a lot, really. We spoke about the weather | :47:50. | :47:52. | |
conditions. There wasn't a lot of swing. We tried to play the ball on | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
its merit. How good is it to play with Eoin Morgan, he's striking | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
brilliantly? It's really good, when you have a guy playing as well as he | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
is at the other end you have pupils to get yourself in and get the pace | :48:06. | :48:08. | |
of the pitch, so hopefully he will keep firing and everyone can keep | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
feeding off the confidence. The run-in between the wickets? We | :48:13. | :48:21. | |
should mention that, should we? Physically, how are you leading into | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
the semifinal? Physically good. My body feels in good nick. I haven't | :48:26. | :48:28. | |
had problems with my knee, touch wood. Good luck in the semi. Cheers. | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
STUDIO: England finish top of group a with a | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
full six points and with that defeat Australia go out and it's Bangladesh | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
who surprisingly qualify in second place. Congratulations to them, but | :48:42. | :48:44. | |
it's England who looked like the team to beat, as we look forward to | :48:45. | :48:47. | |
their semifinal next Wednesday. It's goodbye from a very wet Edgbaston. | :48:48. | :49:04. | |
