Champions Trophy, Feb 19 - March 9

[meninblue]

Well placed just besides covers for 4 by Alex. Nice shot all along the ground. Zero risk and well executed. 2 fours in the over. Australia need boundary almost every over to chase this score and he has scored two.

[meninblue]

Six. Couple of steps out of the crease and hits over long-on for 6.Risk taken and paid off as he managed to middle it. Semms like obviously Australia have decided to pick a four or six atleast every over in spite of wickets. So far so good in the last few overs.

[meninblue]

More than run-a-ball 50 runs (37 balls) partnership between Alex and Josh. Just when England had got back into the match with quick wickets, these two have fought well and still matched the RRR.

Jofra walks out for some treatment. Will he be able to bowl his remaining overs effectively when he comes back.

Back into the field in the very next over.

Joe Root is bowling low arm like Kedar Jadhav. Quite a few spinners have started to bowl like him.

Carse bowling absolute rubbish again

Might as well play curran for his batting if carse and Atkinson are going to go for 8.5rpo every game

[meninblue]

Brydon Carse gives two boundaries in the over. Australian batsmen have managed to keep scoring irrespective of who is bowling. Run scoring is not a issue at all. These two will look to be at the crease for another 10 overs atleast. Still lot left to do inspite of this decent 78 runs partnership.

[meninblue]

Wow, what a cut shot 4 for Josh.Once it beat the point, there was no stopping it. Simply risk-free and the placement was awesome. Top class execution.

The dew has come down and ball is sliding onto the bat nicely

Australia in charge

England need wickets

[meninblue]

At this time of night in Pakistan the dew should start coming. England bowlers would be hoping it won't come. 18 overs still left and even is dew comes in next 10 minutes, its going to be trouble with 17 overs left.

[meninblue]

Hit-me ball from Jofra and Josh hits it past right of the point fielder. 4 . Aus need 118 in 90 balls.

[meninblue]

Dropped by Jofra. Instead Alex gets 2 runs and that is his 50. Bad luck to Adil Rashid.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Can we sub rehan on to bowl the rest of carse's overs?

I assumed he's in the squad, but he isn't.

Moeen might have been useful. England just don't want a second spinner unless it looks like a batting pick too.

[Arthur Crabtree]

England still in with a chance. Unless Maxwell gets going.

[meninblue]

100 for Josh. Well deserved.

Australia need just 36 runs from 33 balls.
