| 3.5 : 3.5: Josh Hazlewood to Ben Duckett, FOUR! A genuinely good shot that! First boundary of the day for England! A bumper from Hazlewood now, on the bodyline, Ben Duckett is ready on the back foot and pulls it along the ground for a boundary at deep backward square leg. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Josh Hazlewood to Phil Salt, EDGED AND OVER THE SLIPS FOR A FOUR! |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Mitchell Starc to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Nicely played! Fairly outside off and moving away, on a fullish tad length, Ben Duckett takes a stride forward he knows the fielders are in the ring and lofts it over the covers for a boundary. |

| 8.2 : 8.2: Sean Abbott to Phil Salt, FOUR! And again! |

| 10.6 : 10.6: Sean Abbott to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Well, that shows Duckett is improving his game. We normally don't see Duckett play down the ground but in this particular innings, he has made a conscious effort to play in the 'V'. |

| 15.5 : 15.5: Mitchell Marsh to Harry Brook, FOUR! Whipped away hard, what an outstanding piece of timing from Brook! Looks like he has carried his form from Durham right through. On a length, around off, Harry Brook just whips it over mid-wicket and the ball simply races away. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Adam Zampa to Ben Duckett, SIX! Adam Zampa is not going to be allowed to settle. Tossed up, on leg stump, Duckett jumps down the track and lofts it cleanly, well wide of long on and even over him! |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Adam Zampa to Harry Brook, FOUR! Impressive footwork. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Adam Zampa to Harry Brook, FOUR! Correction in line from Zampa, but wrong length! |
| 20.2 : 20.2: Sean Abbott to Ben Duckett, FOUR! Innovative and so effective! Sean Abbott offers a fuller one, around off, Ben Duckett premeditates his shot, shuffles well across off and executes the ramp shot to perfection over deep fine for a boundary. |
| 21.3 : 21.3: Glenn Maxwell to Harry Brook, FOUR! He has picked the gaps to perfection! |
| 21.4 : 21.4: Glenn Maxwell to Harry Brook, FOUR! That was a bit ordinary in the field there by Abbott! |

| 22.4 : 22.4: Adam Zampa to Ben Duckett, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! A four and out for Duckett and Zampa finally, gets a breakthrough! |
| 24.1 : 24.1: Adam Zampa to Jamie Smith, SIX! Up, up, and away! |
| 24.4 : 24.4: Adam Zampa to Harry Brook, SIX! Pulled away neatly! They are not letting Zampa to settle down at all and are compelling him to change his plans! Short and on the middle from Zampa, Harry Brook transfers the weight on the back foot and pulls it over deep mid-wicket for a huge six. |

| 28.1 : 28.1: Sean Abbott to Jamie Smith, FOUR! Easy pickings! Slower one, short and around off, Jamie goes on his toes, rides the bounce and pulls it convincingly towards mid-wicket. It's in the gap and a boundary. |
| 29.1: Josh Hazlewood to Harry Brook, Four! |
| 29.3 : 29.3: Josh Hazlewood to Harry Brook, FOUR! Another brilliantly struck boundary from the bat of in-form Harry Brook. |
| 30.2 : 30.2: Adam Zampa to Harry Brook, OUT! c Glenn Maxwell b Adam Zampa. |

| 31.6 : 31.6: Glenn Maxwell to Jamie Smith, OUT! CAUGHT! Maxwell gets a wicket. |
| 33.1 : 33.1: Glenn Maxwell to Liam Livingstone, SIX! CREAMED! Big gamble by Marsh, to give Maxwell this over. And Livingstone makes him pay. Flighted, outside off, Liam Livingstone gets down on a knee and crashes the slog sweep miles over wide long on! 250 UP FOR ENGLAND, 35 balls to go. |
| 34.4 : 34.4: Adam Zampa to Jacob Bethell, SIX! Excellent release of pressure! Bethell was getting under pressure having scored just 2 from his first 9 balls but he hits his way out. |
| 35.4: Josh Hazlewood to Liam Livingstone, SIX! FEROCIOUS! Hazlewood misses, Livingstone punishes. |
| 36.2 : 36.2: Mitchell Starc to Liam Livingstone, SIX! FETCH THAT! This guy is in some merciless mood. Starc misses his mark, goes for the yorker, but delivers a half volley. Liam Livingstone gets under it, targets the bigger part of the boundary and clears it with ease. Miles over long off. 8th six of the innings, 3rd for Livingstone. |
| 37.4 : 37.4: Josh Hazlewood to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! HAMMERED! Excellent from Livingstone. |
| 38.1 : 38.1: Mitchell Starc to Liam Livingstone, SIX! HUMONGOUS! That has gone into the first tier. Fourth six for Liam Livingstone. Fuller in length, around middle, right in the slot, Livingstone gets under the ball and sends it sailing into orbit over long on. Moves to 40 from 22 balls. |
| 38.3 : 38.3: Mitchell Starc to Liam Livingstone, SIX! Once again Starc goes for the yorker and misses. |

| 38.5 : 38.5: Mitchell Starc to Liam Livingstone, Six! |
| 38.6 : 38.6: Mitchell Starc to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! Sliced away, which means Starc concedes 28 RUNS IN THE FINAL OVER! This was actually not a bad ball. It was nearly a wide yorker, outside off, but Liam Livingstone managed to get under it and squeeze it behind point. ENGLAND FINISH ON A COMMANDING 312/5! |

| 21.6 : 21.6: Matthew Potts to Sean Abbott, OUT! c Liam Livingstone b Matthew Potts. |

| 23.3 : 23.3: Matthew Potts to Adam Zampa, OUT! CAUGHT! Two in the over for Potts and he now has four as Zampa lasts 2 balls. |
| 24.4 : 24.4: Adil Rashid to Josh Hazlewood, OUT! BOWLED! It also brings up the 50th wicket in ODIs for Adil Rashid against Australia. It is a straighter one, around leg stump, a tad short, which stays low as well. Josh Hazlewood rocks back to pull but is defeated by the lack of bounce and the ball hits the leg stump.
