00:00hello everyone this afternoon we are at lords you join us for this 2020 match between england
00:24and australia i'm mike atherton and alongside me today is ali mitchell and the silver fox himself
00:32david gower hi mike thanks for that intro earlier i took a look at the conditions for the day and
00:38the ground staff have set up a very fair wicket any lapsing concentration though and the wickets
00:43will tumble so probably worth having a bowl first it's a perfect day for cricket absolutely no doubt
00:49about that not a cloud in the sky wonderful insight there from david gower we're going
00:55down to the middle now the captains are ready for the toss
01:14well it seems just crazy to think of batting first here there'll be plenty of movement early
01:19for the bowlers and i don't think that's going to change
01:30hazelwood has the ball in hand and will get us
01:34underway hopefully there'll be some swing and bounce with this new ball early on
01:42couldn't get it through the field lovely shot to start the innings
01:45unfortunate they just couldn't find a gap
01:59yes
02:04and they're away and nicely off the mark
02:10the team will be after a positive innings from this batter
02:13a great opportunity to come in and put some runs on the board
02:27waiting no runs on that occasion got into position nicely just too early on the shot
02:34couldn't find a gap
02:40so
02:49yeah chance to run two
02:58a brilliant throw in from the deep caps off what was a fabulous piece of fielding
03:03surprised they didn't go for a third would have been a very simple run
03:09so
03:16waiting can't get that outside the ring field
03:33waiting
03:34short and wide did well to get some bat on that over england are three for none
03:54start the left arm is coming on to bowl from the pavilion end
04:04so
04:11yes ease through the field there'll be runs here
04:16there'll be one run here for them
04:24so
04:31yes there'll be runs here
04:53yep they'll get at least one gave us in
05:02i for one reckon that second run was on but clearly the batters knew better
05:08so
05:18waiting collects that one simple as you like inside the ring a little late on that no run scored
05:30so
05:36yep big edge where's that going didn't time it at all but managed to get it away to the boundary
06:00just need to keep it simple line and length around about off stump and that'll force the mistake
06:12massive edge some well-targeted bowling in that over certainly something to build on
06:18come in with the right armor is coming into the attack from the nursery end
06:40great shot through the gap perfect timing
06:43got forward and was able to drive the ball lovely shot good running
06:55beaten on the drive i didn't get the feet moving played down the wrong line
07:00threw the hands at it and got nothing on the ball
07:13yep overstepping just a little too eager on that delivery
07:24good throw from the deep bang on target
07:38they must have just slipped a little in their delivery stride to bowl that no ball
07:42sometimes it can happen when you're trying too hard
07:48wait good piece of fielding to stop some runs
07:52that isn't the best delivery i've seen but somehow they get away with it
07:55it wait
08:10no runs on that occasion got into position nicely just too early on the shot and couldn't find a gap
08:26just threw the shot too early
08:48wait there doesn't beat the infield
08:53five runs added there england are 15 for none
09:00into the attack now coming on from the pavilion end
09:14head over the ball great shot that's racing away
09:18so good return back from the deep
09:36yep they'd look for a couple here
09:43there was minimal follow-through just great timing to punch it through the field for four
09:48so
10:03boundary off the last ball was to come off this delivery i wonder
10:12waiting
