00:01On what is a beautiful afternoon, it must be said, here in Lahore, the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, which has
00:07been given a facelift.
00:09There you have it out in the middle. Australia have won the toss and they will be batting first.
00:19Now there's that angle. There wasn't much swing there. You're looking for swing early on from the left.
00:23Good speed. Not much swing for him at the moment and that's been pumped down the ground by Phil Salt
00:30for his and England's first boundary of the day.
00:34Oh, that's a beautiful shot. He's just held that away leg side and first signs are that this is a
00:41superb...
00:46Oh, now what a catch! That is an unbelievable catch.
00:50Alex Carey, who we normally see behind the stumps with the gloves on, has flung himself to his right and
00:58taken a quite superlative catch at mid-arm.
01:02How tough it is in the field when you're moving from those two positions.
01:07It had heat on it. He is launched perfectly off the right foot.
01:12Salt, after a blistering start, goes for ten from six. England lose their first early. 13 for one.
01:21That's a lovely way to get off the mark, isn't it? Just a skip down.
01:31Pumped to eight, leg side. He's just straying to leg there, Dorcious.
01:36And Ducat's strength is square of the wicket.
01:42It's gone fine and gone for four. Fine leg is quite wide.
01:49Lovely shot. Lovely shot. Lovely shot, that is. And it's a quick outfield.
01:56Oh, no.
01:57And Smith turns. He didn't even wait to see this one end up in the hands of Alex Carey.
02:05A really difficult chance, the first one, and this is regulation.
02:10Straight out of the middle.
02:12And straight into the middle of Alex Carey's hands.
02:17Jamie Smith looking dangerous on 15. Must depart now. It's 43 for two.
02:24Tickle.
02:25Actually just shaped a little bit. We haven't seen much swing.
02:28And they'll be fancying their chances.
02:32Driven does get it through the offside.
02:35So the last delivery in the power play.
02:38Great Nick.
02:40Certainly found his hands.
02:42And Giroud has found a gap.
02:45Outfield.
02:46Very quick here.
02:50Down the ground.
02:51Mid-off is up.
02:52It wasn't timed perfectly.
02:54It's an area of the game that...
02:57Down the pitch.
02:58Down the ground.
03:01And smashes it for six.
03:03Excellent from Duckett.
03:06Gets away with it.
03:07And it runs away for four.
03:12Pulled away leg side.
03:13And with authority.
03:15Takes Ben Duckett to 50.
03:22Well that is a superb shot.
03:26A little dinky sweep.
03:29Oh and it just affects the fielder.
03:31Outfield quick four.
03:33Go on.
03:35It's his job today as Ruth...
03:38Beautifully drives through the offside.
03:40It was just a little over pitch from Short.
03:43And he was given...
03:44Tishin played brilliantly in that final.
03:46And he's going to have a huge role to play as Duckett...
03:49Pounces on something a little short.
03:51And just a little wide.
03:53And Maxwell...
03:54Bowlers.
03:55The seamers in particular.
03:58He's down over long off.
04:00Up inside the circle.
04:02So...
04:02Relatively risk-free option from Ben Duckett.
04:09Pulled behind square.
04:11And to the boundary for four.
04:13Only control.
04:14And the partnership now crosses the 150 mark.
04:21He's high.
04:23And the man up in the deep has lost it.
04:26That's it bounce.
04:28It's good work.
04:29Zanpah.
04:31Oh!
04:33Might have just been sliding.
04:35No, umpire says not.
04:37He's reviewed straight away has Joe Root.
04:40On field.
04:41Decision is out.
04:43Pitching in line.
04:44Impact in line.
04:45Because umpire score.
04:48You can save it.
04:49You can save it.
04:50You can save it.
04:50You can save it.
04:50You can save it.
04:53Standby.
04:55Go on the screen.
04:56Make your signal.
04:59From England's point of view.
05:01Root goes to Zanpah again.
05:04Big titles.
05:10They go all the way.
05:12Puck down the ground.
05:14There's three away now with that boundary.
05:16Goes again.
05:17Goes again.
05:18And that'll do it for Ben Duckett.
05:19Third hundred in one day internationals.
05:22His second against Australia.
05:26Started beautifully.
05:28And then he has continued on in that same fashion.
05:32Magnificent from Ben Duckett.
05:36Certainly is Simon Duell.
05:37That's a really special innings.
05:42That's the reverse.
05:43And finds the gap as well.
05:46Backward a point.
05:47Backward a square.
05:47Yeah, call it what you like.
05:50Zanpah continues.
05:51And Brook tries to take him down.
05:52Gets lucky.
05:53No, he doesn't.
05:54It's another fantastic catch.
05:55Who else but Carey?
06:01Just what they need at this time of the innings.
06:04Back-to-back wickets.
06:05And it's Harry Brook.
06:09Looking to come down and take him over the cover.
06:11Fielder in the circle.
06:13Carey makes some great ground again.
06:16Gets two hands to this one.
06:17And it makes no mistake.
06:22Zanpah gets Harry Brook for the third time.
06:25He goes for three.
06:26It's 2.19 for four.
06:31Favoured reverse sweep.
06:33And he's placed it and timed it well enough.
06:35What an excellent start.
06:39Gets it on the full.
06:40Does he get all of it?
06:41Lavishain, I think, can't reach it.
06:43That's a costly delivery.
06:47That's a way.
06:48And the keeper can't cut that off.
06:49So that's a boundary off the last ball of the over.
06:54Goes down the ground again off Maxwell.
06:57And he's got that.
06:57Even back into the breeze.
06:59That'll be six.
07:02Into the pitch.
07:04Duckett has absolutely smoked that through the offside to four.
07:08It's another boundary off the final ball of the over.
07:12There he goes.
07:14Won't bother Josh Butler.
07:16We're into the final power play.
07:18To feel like they get themselves in.
07:23He hasn't hit that out in the middle of the bat.
07:25But he's hit it well enough.
07:26So Maxwell has gone.
07:27Dot 6-1-1-4.
07:30Last ball of the over.
07:32Sweat away from Butler.
07:34Good catch.
07:35Good low catch.
07:36Ellis out there in the deep.
07:37For your man that you want to go after.
07:39You've dealt with him beautifully.
07:40Five deliveries.
07:41The last ball.
07:43An off spinner.
07:44Hitting down breeze.
07:46The bat just turned in his hand.
07:48Which made it go flatter.
07:50And Australia's fielding continues to be good.
07:53That's a good catch.
07:54Looking into the sun.
07:56Josh Butler cannot believe what he's done.
08:00The England skipper goes.
08:02A 23 from 21.
08:042.80 for five.
08:05England.
08:08Banged away.
08:11Easy as you like.
08:12And it sails into the crowd.
08:18Oops.
08:21Miss field allows for 150 to Ben Duckett.
08:25It's up 134 balls.
08:27He'll get more applause.
08:29Which is much deserved.
08:33As it innings has been well controlled.
08:39And he's doing well for England here.
08:44Gone at it.
08:46One bounce and over the ropes for four.
08:50Top shot from Duckett.
08:55Shot.
08:57Well placed.
09:01Fielder.
09:03Takes the catch.
09:04It's Ellis.
09:08Yeah.
09:08Big wicket.
09:09Good bowling.
09:10Taking some pace off the ball.
09:12Which meant that Livingston was through the shot.
09:14This coming off somewhere near the bottom of the bat.
09:18Right towards the end of a 50 over innings.
09:21But not today.
09:23He's gone for 14 from 17.
09:26England lose their sixth.
09:30Oh, that's out.
09:32That's stone dead.
09:39Manas, love you saying.
09:40Will smile.
09:42So happy to get the wicket.
09:44It's a big strike.
09:46Hitch in line.
09:47Impact in line.
09:49Because hitting.
09:51You can stay with your original decision now.
09:54Joel.
09:56Joel.
09:58Wait for the signal.
10:00You're on the screen.
10:01You're on the screen.
10:01Make a signal.
10:03This has been a magnificent innings from Ben Duckett.
10:08165 from 143 balls.
10:11Has controlled it for England.
10:13And got them to this point.
10:15And it's because of them they're able to put what is a really good total on the board.
10:23Shot.
10:24Oh, that smashed.
10:28On a day where he's gone so well.
10:30He'll be disappointed.
10:31That's the one that he finishes with.
10:33A full toss that's banged away for four.
10:36It's still a good day out though for Nathan Ellis.
10:43Marnas.
10:45Marnas.
10:45Marnas.
10:46Takes it.
10:47Top effort.
10:49To bowl it.
10:50Follow through and turn back and get after it.
10:54Fantastic all round from Labashen.
10:55He just held it back as well.
10:57It was slightly slower.
10:58Brave delivery at this stage.
11:00So Bryden Kast was through the shot too soon.
11:03And then Labashen kept his eyes on that ball as he came out of this now hazy sky.
11:08As we start to get into the early evening.
11:16Sharp power.
11:18Archer.
11:21He gets one straight over the bowl as hit for four.
11:28Smash that.
11:30Oh, that's gone a long way.
11:33Too short.
11:39Oh, push to get back for a second to finish off.
11:45350 up.
11:47It's excellent work done by England.
11:59Now, 352.
12:01It's a lot of runs to get.
12:02It's a good surface here.
12:04But can they deal?
12:08Just in the air.
12:10Just a hint of movement away.
12:12Let's start from Wood.
12:17Clipped fine.
12:18Fine leg is wide.
12:19The first boundary of the run chase.
12:23Picked up beautifully.
12:26That's the second boundary.
12:28And both have come leg side.
12:33Short, wide.
12:34You cannot be there to Travis Head.
12:41That's just a punch.
12:43That's the thing with pace on and this surface.
12:46You don't have to overheat.
12:48Just punch it.
12:49And that's what Short's done.
13:19In the air.
13:22Caught and bold.
13:23Head goes for six.
13:26That was a bit more round arm and slingy.
13:28And that off at the width.
13:33There's a leg slip in.
13:35But he's very fine.
13:36And it goes square.
13:37Oresheed does well.
13:42Edged.
13:43Gone.
13:44Ben Duckett.
13:45What an evening he's having.
13:47165.
13:47And now a slip catch.
13:48One for Archer.
13:51One for Wood.
13:53Back of a length.
13:54Hard length as they say.
13:57Steve Smith has really tried to unleash something through cover point like he did to John for Archer.
14:02Over before.
14:05And Wood gets the key man.
14:07The captain.
14:08Steve Smith gone for five.
14:10It's 27 for two.
14:15Drive square.
14:20It's all boundaries and wickets here at the moment in this power play.
14:27Crunched.
14:28Crunched square of the wicket.
14:35And fine again.
14:36Can Rashid get there?
14:37He can.
14:39But he can't stop him.
14:44Keystone copster.
14:45Look at it.
14:50Short pulled beautifully.
14:52Right from the very first block that he played.
14:54The sound off the bat.
14:58Pulled in the air this time.
14:59Over wide mid on.
15:01Another boundary.
15:05Attacking the pads.
15:06The field is up.
15:07That will be four.
15:09Pick inside edge.
15:11And it's twice now.
15:11One on the outside.
15:13One on the inside.
15:14This one though brings up the boundary.
15:23Length this time though.
15:24Angling in.
15:25But it was fuller in length.
15:29Now off the front foot.
15:31But it's the pull shot.
15:34That is timing again.
15:35The third boundary in the over here for Manus Lubashane.
15:38The first was an inside edge.
15:43The question is just how far.
15:49It's just getting better and better off the blade of Matt Short.
15:55That right out of the top draw.
16:03What a bit of pain I feel.
16:05Flat line.
16:07Flat line.
16:08Keep rolling.
16:09Keep rolling.
16:09Keep rolling.
16:10Yes.
16:12Joel.
16:13You can stay with your original decision not out.
16:17And also Paul.
16:19Reverse your wide signal.
16:20It's touched the pad.
16:28And that will go to the boundary line.
16:30It will take Matt Short to a half century.
16:34Second 50 in ODIs for Australia.
16:36And what a time to come as well.
16:38He's played superbly so far.
16:39But unlike Duckett he'll be thinking more to come.
16:46Tempter.
16:46Gone.
16:47Tried to get it up and over extra cover.
16:51England's two spinners have been excellent in the last 20, 25 minutes.
16:54It has brought them the wicket of Lubashane.
16:56Well bowled.
16:57Adil Rashid.
16:58Good catch from the skipper.
16:59Made it look a little easier than it was.
17:01Above his head.
17:03Hands up and Lubashane throws the head back.
17:07Trying to go over the head of Butler.
17:09Couldn't get there.
17:11First one of the evening for Adil Rashid.
17:14Look at all you like, Manas.
17:20Very fine shot.
17:22Little bit short from Rashid.
17:24His length so far has been almost perfect.
17:26That is a very confident and stylish.
17:29Catch it.
17:30Livingston does.
17:32Now it's short that departs.
17:35That's terrific from England.
17:36A fantastic catch from Livingston.
17:38But it comes to an end.
17:40Again it's the spin.
17:45It's at the front of the hand.
17:46Just enough turn.
17:49Matt short can't quite get it in the middle of the bat.
17:53It's been brilliant from England in this middle part of the game.
17:57Matt short goes to 63.
18:00Australia lose another one.
18:01It's 136 for four.
18:07Shots of catch it.
18:08But it'll clear mid-off.
18:10Tossed up.
18:14Shot.
18:16That's really well played.
18:17And placed.
18:20The blue worm.
18:22Shot.
18:24Had to get to the pitch of it and did.
18:27Despite long on back.
18:29It's gone for six.
18:35Sideway.
18:36That went like a rock and football.
18:40Using that pace that there is.
18:45Nice shot.
18:47Excellent shot for four.
18:51Oh.
18:52Hello.
18:53Hello.
18:55No.
18:56Says Joel Wilson.
18:58Just sliding down that leg side.
19:01And they could have taken that.
19:02Gone really emotional.
19:04And said we desperately need a wicket.
19:06Woods said no.
19:06I think that's sliding down.
19:08He went up for the big appeal.
19:12Nice shot.
19:14Oh that's gone quickly.
19:16Livingston.
19:18Up and over.
19:20Timed beautifully.
19:21As Carey does.
19:22That's a fabulous shot for four.
19:26Pulled away.
19:27Pulled away with style.
19:28And authority.
19:33Wonderful.
19:35That's a good example.
19:36Played the ball so late.
19:37Didn't he?
19:37Yes.
19:38Sorry to interrupt.
19:38That was a perfect example of what we're talking about.
19:45Well he's still not happy.
19:47Not would.
19:49Inglis is.
19:50He's gone to 50.
19:51A nice 52.
19:5250 off 41.
19:55Pull at times.
19:57And again this time he's on to it.
19:59Pulled it away through mid wicket.
20:01Practice pitches out there means it won't slow down much.
20:04And that's gone away for four.
20:05So Archer.
20:08If you bowl short and wide like that they don't.
20:11That's four.
20:11That's Hammond.
20:16And man in the deep.
20:17Put down.
20:18Straight through the hands of Joffre Archer.
20:23And they come back for two.
20:25And Alex Carey goes to half century.
20:28He could be going back to the pavilion.
20:30He's not.
20:33And now he's reverse scooped.
20:35He tried that earlier.
20:39Flicked off his hip.
20:40Will that go?
20:43Flicked off.
20:44It does in the end.
20:45Yes.
20:46Back to back boundaries.
20:47Drop catch from Archer.
20:49And eight runs of Archer's first two deliveries.
20:54Belted.
20:55Belted.
20:56Straight back past the bowler.
20:57Mid off.
20:58Mid on.
20:58On the boundary.
21:02Shoveled.
21:03Leg side.
21:03Shoveled well.
21:04That bottom hand just came through and whipped it away.
21:10In the air.
21:11Can fine leg get round?
21:13No.
21:13Goes too fine.
21:14Goes away for another boundary.
21:19In the air.
21:20Mid off.
21:21They needed a wicket.
21:22They got a wicket.
21:23Carey's gone.
21:27As Carey was looking the one to really guide Australia home.
21:33Instead.
21:34They have a sniff again.
21:38Wonderful innings.
21:40From Alex Carey.
21:42He departs for 69 from 63.
21:47So he belts it over mid off.
21:50It was a bluff.
21:55Pitched up again.
21:57Not timed.
21:58But it'll be another boundary.
22:02Well, he's played this ball so well.
22:04It was short.
22:05And Inglis has just pulled it away.
22:08Leg side.
22:09He has played the short ball.
22:10Tied a little catch as well.
22:13Even better.
22:14Even better from Joss Inglis.
22:16Playing the innings of his life here.
22:18Two men up inside the circle there.
22:20The short third.
22:21And he's just scooped it away.
22:26Pulled again.
22:28What a shot.
22:29What a way to go to 100.
22:31The first 100 in ODI cricket.
22:34You can see what it means to him.
22:36This has been a magnificent innings.
22:38Played the innings of his life here.
22:40In Lahore this evening.
22:42On this end.
22:44Maxwell steps away.
22:46And smears it through the offside.
22:48He wants to get there quickly.
22:50All right.
22:53He's helped it on its way.
22:54This is a wonderful shot.
22:56Short ball from Mark Wood.
22:58Again speared down the leg side.
23:00But this way.
23:01This time Maxwell.
23:04He's pulled him again.
23:05It's brilliant batting.
23:07It was fractionally short.
23:08It wasn't bound to the length.
23:09But it was short of a length.
23:13Powered away.
23:14Brilliant from Maxwell this time.
23:17In a sportsman's trade.
23:18You're never down.
23:20Full toss.
23:21Should be hauled out in the deep.
23:24And easily taken.
23:27Livingston.
23:28It is out in the deep.
23:29The full toss is too high.
23:33We shall see.
23:35We're trying to build the replay that will tell everybody what we need to know.
23:42That's too high.
23:47Noble comes rather belatedly.
23:49A bit of a delay.
23:50A bit of a confusion.
