0.0 : The 1st ODI of this series between England and Australia has reached its midpoint, with the match finely balanced. England's cautious beginning, losing just one wicket in the Powerplay, paved the way for Ben Duckett and Will Jacks's explosive 120-run partnership for the 2nd wicket. However, the momentum was lost as Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, and Jamie Smith failed to build on the foundation. England's prospects of posting 370 plus were dashed, as regular wickets and a lack of partner
Marnus Labuschagne and Adam Zampa led the charge, claiming three wickets each, while Travis Head wrapped the tail by picking up 2 wickets in the last over of the innings. Matthew Short and Ben Dwarshuis chipped in with one each. Unfortunately, Ben's involvement was limited to just four overs due to an injury sustained while fielding. With the track not offering much to the bowlers and a strong Aussie batting lineup, 301 appears chaseable. Can Australia pull off the pursuit, or will Engl
Australia's bowling struggled early on, with runs flowing freely, but their exceptional fielding kept them in the contest. The pitch offered little assistance to the bowlers, allowing England's batters to dominate. However, the introduction of Marnus Labuschagne in the 33rd over sparked a dramatic turnaround. Australia's attack regained momentum, stifling England's scoring rate. From a potentially daunting 370-plus total well on the cards, with England cruising at 213 for 3 in 33 overs, Au

0.0 : Now that's what you call a clinical victory! This is why they are the WORLD CHAMPIONS, aren't they? A fabulous run chase while keeping control right from the start. Travis Head leaves Trent Bridge as the hero for the Aussies after an unbeaten 154 off 129 balls while Marnus Labuschagne remaining not out on 77 off 61. However, it was not all easy as they were in a bit of a difficult situation while bowling, and surprisingly, the spinners started the fightback and the batters finished the job co
Australia got off to a good start but over-aggressiveness from Mitchell Marsh cost him his wicket early. However, that didn't affect Head one bit as he continued to play the only way he knows - 'Attack, Attack, and Attack. Steven Smith joined him and he too didn't hold back and played his shots not letting the bowlers to settle. They utilised the Powerplay nicely and added 76 runs together. Head notched up a quick fifty but unfortunately Smith fell at 32 off 28.
After that, Cameron Green came in and steadied the ship along with Travis Head who kept on smashing it all around the park. The duo  added 73 runs and kept the chasing cruising along but just like Smith, Green also departed on the same score. Head though, did blast his way to a sizzling hundred. What looked like an opening for the hosts was quickly shut down by Marnus Labuschagne who initially rotated the strike and let Head take charge but once the target came in double figures, he started
England, on the other hand, were pretty good initially with Jofra Archer and Matthew Potts both getting past the outside edges of the batters. Potts finally got the reward by removing Mitchell Marsh, but the hosts couldn't really build on that, so they allowed the Aussies to make a threatening partnership. The bowling change from Harry Brook worked as Liam Livingstone got rid of the dangerous Steven Smith not long after the field restrictions were lifted. However, taking wickets was a str
Earlier in the game, England posted a good total but they would have hoped for a lot more with the start that they got. Ben Duckett led the charge for the hosts with fantastic 95 just missing out on his ton. Will Jacks also supported him well with an excellent half-century. The middle order couldn't really take full advantage of the platform but there were some decent contributions from skipper Harry Brook and Jamie Smith. A good cameo from debutant, Jacob Bethell at the death got them over
Presentation Time...
Travis Head is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his outstanding unbeaten knock of 154 off 129 balls. He says he got a bit lucky at the start but the wicket was good to bat on and he made the most of it. Adds that they just wanted to bat through and build partnerships and as a team they played spin really well. Talks about the environment in the team and says it's fun and he is enjoying what he is doing for the team.
Harry Brook, the captain of England says they did what they said they would do and put the Aussies under pressure, but they couldn't execute with the ball. He adds that it was difficult to bat on in the middle over against the spinners as it gripped, and they also failed to rotate the strike. He mentions that he, Ben Duckett, and others batted well, but they just failed to capitalize at the end, and that cost them, but they'll bounce back in the next game.
Mitchell Marsh, the victorious skipper of Australia says that he is very happy with the win. Adds that England got to a great start with the bat, but the way his bowlers fought back was good to see and that set the tone for the chase. Says that bowling Marnus Labuschagne was a forced change due to the injury to Ben Dwarshuis and he wishes that he could take credit for it, but he cannot. Mentions that the illness going around in the team is out of control and they will have to manage that. Sa
Right then, that is it from the first ODI where Australia takes the early lead in the series by getting a dominating win over England. The action now moves to Headingley in Leeds where the 2nd ODI will be played on the 21st of September, Saturday. The first ball will be bowled at 10 am GMT, but as you know you can always join us early for all the build-up to the same. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
