England vs Australia (ODI)

Highlights

18:07 (IST)
Starc continues to be at his imperious best here and his fourth over yields only one run and a wicket as Roy is run-out by Stoinis after a well-placed direct hit! Australia are on top now.
17:51 (IST)
OUT! Starc gets one to angle away from Bairstow who expects it to swing but it doesnt and all he can do is edge one to Alex Carey behind the stumps. Australia have their breakthrough.
17:49 (IST)
THREE FOURS! Roy gets down the ground slightly and pounds one through extra cover that runs away for a boundary. He then gets one away on the leg side with a nice little push off the pads. Ends the over with a fierce cut through point.
17:45 (IST)
FOUR! Poor fielding from Cummins at mid-on sees him miss out on the ball and it runs away to the boundary. Decent over for England as six runs come off it overall.
17:03 (IST)
News from the middle is that England have won the toss and opted to bat first. Interesting strategy, although if England's hell-for-leather approach works in such a situation it could see them score lots of runs.
16:41 (IST)

Starc is done with half his quota of overs and it is, unsurprisingly, another good over. Just the one run comes off it. Joe Root and Eoin Morgan have quite the task on their hands.

18:13 (IST)

Australia are in control now. England need a big partnership.

Great fielding from Marcus Stoinis!

Starc continues to be at his imperious best here and his fourth over yields only one run and a wicket as Roy is run-out by Stoinis after a well-placed direct hit! Australia are on top now.

18:02 (IST)

Bit of a halt in play here as Root inside edges one onto his knee and has to be tended to at the end of Starc's over. Hazlewood then bowls a fine third over that goes for just 4 runs.

17:51 (IST)

OUT! Starc gets one to angle away from Bairstow who expects it to swing but it doesnt and all he can do is edge one to Alex Carey behind the stumps. Australia have their breakthrough.

17:49 (IST)

THREE FOURS! Roy gets down the ground slightly and pounds one through extra cover that runs away for a boundary. He then gets one away on the leg side with a nice little push off the pads. Ends the over with a fierce cut through point.

FOUR! Poor fielding from Cummins at mid-on sees him miss out on the ball and it runs away to the boundary. Decent over for England as six runs come off it overall.

17:40 (IST)

Josh Hazlewood shares the new ball with Starc and his start is a good one as his first over is a maiden. Bairstow and Roy are trying to up the ante but are being thwarted thus far.

17:36 (IST)

We are underway at Old Trafford and early drama as Jason Roy is given out! Starc raps him on the pads and the umpire says its out. Roy reviews and while there's no bat, the bounce saves him as it's missing the stumps. Quiet over to start with.

17:03 (IST)

News from the middle is that England have won the toss and opted to bat first. Interesting strategy, although if England's hell-for-leather approach works in such a situation it could see them score lots of runs.

England vs Australia, 2nd ODI at Old Trafford Live Score: ENG Two Down, AUS on Top

England vs Australia, 2nd ODI Live Score, Old Trafford, Manchester, Latest Updates: Starc is done with half his quota of overs and it is, unsurprisingly, another good over. Just the one run comes off it. Joe Root and Eoin Morgan have quite the task on their hands.

Preview: World Champions England are undoubtedly the best limited overs side by a mile. Eoin Morgan's side hasn't lost a single ODI series since the start of 2017, and after a surprise loss against Australia in the first ODI, would like to come back to winning ways. The last time Australia toured England for a bilateral ODI series, they were swept 5-0, but a lot has changed since then.

Now with the ODI World Cup Super League bringing context to every ODI game, teams can't take anything for granted, even just for a game.

Australia will be impressed with the way Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell batted in the first ODI, after top order failure. Both the all-rounders scored fifty plus runs to rescue their side and lay the foundations for a big score.

For England, their inability to cash in on a great start to their bowling innings was another reminder that finding a replacement for Liam Plunkett, who excelled in the middle-overs with variations of pace and cutters, won't be as straightforward as they may have thought when they parted ways with the seamer after the victorious ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 campaign.

First ODI

Australia were in a spot of bother at 123/5 in the first ODI before Mitchell Marsh (73) and Glenn Maxwell (77) forged a measured 126-run partnership. England hit back in the final 10 overs to keep the visitors to 294/9. Express pacemen Jofra Archer and Mark Wood enjoyed great returns picking up three wickets each.

Josh Hazlewood delivered a phenomenal opening spell, not only dismissing Jason Roy and Joe Root, but keeping England to an uncharacteristically low scoring rate before coming back to claim the wicket of Moeen Ali later in the innings. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa (4/55) further chipped away at England's batting, but the hosts were not to bow out without a fight. Jonny Bairstow (84) and Sam Billings (118) carried England deep into the game, but couldn't prevent a 19-run loss.

What they said

Eoin Morgan, England captain: "Sam Billings and Jonny Bairstow did well to keep us in the game for so long, and they gave us quite a genuine chance as well."

Josh Hazlewood, Australia fast bowler: "The wicket was pretty helpful for a new ball, that's when it did the most for both teams, so it was about exploiting that as best we could and hitting that length. It was good fun to bowl eight (overs) upfront and test myself as well."
