Commentary

11.5 Adil Rashid to Matthew Short, 1 run

11.4 Adil Rashid to Marnus Labuschagne, loopy trajectory. Labuschagne presses forward, lets it dip and then dinks it towards point for one.

11.3 Adil Rashid to Matthew Short, full, 84.7kph, at the off and middle. Driven down to long-off.

11.2 Adil Rashid to Marnus Labuschagne, flat trajectory, 73kph, good length, off and middle line. Labuschagne swishes across the line and picks one before deep square leg tidies up.

11.1 Adil Rashid to Matthew Short, darts in full one at the off peg, 83.5kph. The batter hit it straight back and Rashid's dive to his right was not enough to prevent the run.

Adil Rashid, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack

Arun: "After dismissing the best two Australian batsmen, English bowlers have looked lackluster"
England had the perfect start, but they need to maintain the intensity. A wicket here could shift the momentum back in their favor

10.6 Jofra Archer to Marnus Labuschagne, BUMPER! 149.5kph. Did not quite climb on to the batter, but Labuschagne anway swayed out of the line to let it go.

10.5 Jofra Archer to Matthew Short, full ball, at the off pole. 146.7kph. Short presses forward and looks to drive it towards mid-off. The ball runs towards the front of square off the inside half of the blade and they run one.

10.4 Jofra Archer to Marnus Labuschagne, steered away for one. Hard length, skews away a tad. The batter was squared up but managed to guide it to deep third.

10.3 Jofra Archer to Matthew Short, hard length, outside off. Short stays on the backfoot and carves it towards deep point for a comfortable single.

10.2 Jofra Archer to Matthew Short, BEATEN! 141.9kph good length delivery in the channel outside off. Short jabs and fails to lay bat on ball.

10.1 Jofra Archer to Matthew Short, UNCONVINCING PULL! Half tracker from the bowler. Short dragged it, agriculturally, from outside off, to mid-on.

END OF POWERPLAY 1! Australia lost Head and Smith early, but Labuschagne and Short have steadied the innings with a solid 49-run stand. Still a long way to go in this chase. Can they keep the momentum going?

Marnus Labuschagne walked in at a crucial juncture in the World Cup final against India and played a vital supporting role to Head. Once again, he finds himself in a pressure situation, steadying the ship alongside Short. But with a massive target ahead, can he anchor Australia to victory this time?

9.6 Brydon Carse to Marnus Labuschagne, dot ball. Fuller, at the middle and off. Labuschagne presents a sturdy block.

9.5 Brydon Carse to Marnus Labuschagne, BRASH THIS TIME! FOUR! Shorter from the bowler. Labuschagne rocked back pulled it away emphatically in the same direction.

9.4 Brydon Carse to Marnus Labuschagne, FINESSE ON DISPLAY! Fuller ball, at the middle and leg. Labuschagne plants a small stride, meets the ball right under his eyes and glances it neatly towards square leg for four. Well-controlled shot.
