00:00It picks it up and it's on!
00:17Good afternoon to you all, we're here at Edgbaston, you join us for this one day international
00:22between England and Australia.
00:24I'm Adam Gilchrist and next to me in the commentary position is Michael Atherton, Mel Jones and
00:29the one and only Ali Mitchell.
00:31Thanks for the fabulous introduction.
00:32We're just about ready to get underway.
00:34Thanks Ali.
00:35It's time now for the toss.
00:37Let's join the pitch side to see who will be donning the pads first.
00:45The home crowd will be looking forward to some early wickets as the captain wins the
01:00toss and decides to have a bowl.
01:03These two teams always produce some great games as we see some of the key players come
01:16out onto the ground.
01:17It's a fantastic crowd in today.
01:18It's an evenly poised match up.
01:19We'll see what happens first ball.
01:20Misses everything.
01:21Still honing in on their lines, the bats are happy to let it go through.
01:47Marsh watched it closely and let that go through to the keeper.
02:13That's a cracking shot.
02:31That's going to be six.
02:32It's gone way back into the crowd there.
02:33Just a little bit of room given and the power was immense.
02:34That's flown over the boundary.
02:35Getting nicely settled at the crease now, I would have to be very happy with that last
02:52shot.
02:53End of the over.
03:01Six runs coming from it.
03:02Australia are six for nine.
03:06Marsh didn't get bad on that and that'll go away to the boundary for four buys.
03:14Yeah, big opportunity.
03:15They've worked really hard in recent weeks.
03:17They should have the confidence to build in innings and get a big score on the board.
03:21Atkinson coming into the attack from the pavilion end.
03:32It was quick on to that in the infield.
04:28It doesn't make the infield.
04:58Lovely cover drive straight to the extra cover fielder.
05:16End of the over.
05:17Two runs added to the total.
05:18Australia are seven for nine.
05:21Not such a productive second over.
05:23Bowler's reined them in nicely.
05:24Wood from the city end.
05:25Finds the fielder with that shot.
06:25Well, that was a poor delivery, you can't bowl there and it got what it deserved.
06:52Always difficult to focus after what happened last ball, but you just got to stay positive
07:08and believe the wicket's going to come.
07:11This delivery just needs to be pitched up on a length too short and you're going to
07:37get punished on this pitch.
07:38Oh, that's hit them at pace.
07:39That looked painful.
07:40England managed to keep the batters pretty quiet in that over.
07:41We're certainly seeing some very good bowling.
07:42Couldn't get it through the field.
08:13Clicks that one, simple as you like, inside the ring.
08:42Pulled away, but straight to square leg.
09:06Straight drive, mid-off will cut that one off.
09:33Three added in that over.
09:50Australia, 19 for nine.
09:52Four down and it feels like they're stuck in first gear at the moment.
09:57Need to go up a notch soon.
10:12Still honing in on their lines.
10:13The batter happy to let it go through.
