Banton gone, edging a Hazlewood delivery behind
4-1 after 2 overs…
WTF was Billings thinking there?
94-4
Bairstow gone for 55 mistiming a shot and skiing a shot for Agar to catch.
He’s not been firing on all cylinders but still made a useful 50…

Ali gone for 23, and so have England’s chances…
Caught on the boundary by Steve Smith who did well not to step on or over the boundary…or did he…
Tight call being reviewed by the TV umpire, soft signal is out so I expect it will be given out as no clear footage to suggest otherwise.
And he is out…
119-5
Starc is fucking quick and he spears it in, on their wickets I genuinely fear for our batsman as he and Cummins will be steaming in.
Jordan gone 141-6, hoick down the ground straight into Steve Smith’s safe hands.
5 balls left, 150 a distant target…
145-6
Good bowling at the death by the Australians…
Not sure at all why Denly is playing. He hardly represents the future, and he’s not even all that good. Surely there must be some useful young batsmen around who could be given a go?

Archer bowls the first over and leaks 16 runs. A huge 6 off of his last ball that was bowled at 90+mph.
This could be a quick reply…
Thats the difference between pace and pace and accuracy.
31-0 after 3 overs, archer gone for 25 runs in his 2 overs.
Bit unlucky with a fast bouncer that was top edged over fine leg for 6
Wade gone for 14, Wood bowls and Wade mistimes it straight to the fielder at mid-on…
31-1
That could be a good advertising slogan for a car company…

61-1 after 6 overs…Australia are seeing the ball as if it was a beach ball…
Bairstow dropping an easy chance from a high skied ball isn’t going to help England’s chances much…
70-1, 7 overs gone
Curran on now and gets Stoinis caught in the deep.
70-2
Rashid pinning them back, 2 wickets in the over for him.
87-4, maybe too little too late…

Wood in to bowl his final over, first ball is leathered for 6, should have kept pace off of the ball…
England’s fielding has let them down tonight as well, they’ve been slow to react…
