  1. England review

    Eng 4-1

    Roy's hit his first ball for four but now he's been given out lbw! He's reviewed it straight away. Upstairs we go...

  2. Mitch Starc will get the Australia innings under way. He's got Jason Roy in his sights. Hopefully that belter of a catch will do plenty for Roy's confidence. Here we go...

  3. If you're just joining us - where've you been?! - these are the permutations for today's game.

    If Australia lose, they're out of the Champions Trophy and on their way home. Bangladesh will take the second semi-final place.

    If Australia win then they will join England in the semis. If it's a tie, then Bangladesh are through.

  4. We will wait and see. I'll now hand over to Amy Lofthouse to talk you through the first half of their run chase.

  5. Travis Head has given Australia some hope as they look to defend their total of 277.

    In the modern age of cricket and high scores, will that be enough?

  6. On any other given day, Rashid would be the pick of the bowlers. But he was just outdone by Mark Wood who produced an outstanding display of bowling. He finished with figures of 10-1-33-4

  7. 'Ashes can be better for a young captain'

    BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    Ex-Australia captain Ricky Ponting on the Ashes: "I think it has all the makings of being a terrific series. England will go with a very experienced bowling attack.

    "You never write champions off and Broad and Anderson have been terrific for England. An Ashes series might bring the best out of them again.

    "Everything around an Ashes series is magnified: the pressure on a player, the pressure on a captain. You can probably argue, for a young captain, it might be better, just going out there and enjoying it and expressing himself as a captain and a leader.

    "I think it was the right time when Alastair stood down to give Joe time to get experience."

  8. The wheels fell off for Australia and Adil Rashid took full advantage. He finished with figures of 10-1-41-4

  9. There was a short, stable partnership from Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell. But, as they say, catches win matches - Jason Roy produced a moment of magic in the deep.

  10. 'England have played a great brand of cricket'

    BBC Test Match Special

    Ricky Ponting on England's one-day form: "This competition has been two years in the making for England. They probably copped a little bit of criticism for the team they sent to the World Cup.

    "They probably realised then that one-day cricket had moved on and they need to be a bit more expansive and pick some more aggressive players.

    "They’ve done that pretty much from that World Cup finish. They’re definitely trusting one another, which is a great sign. They’ve played a great brand of cricket over the past few years."

  11. Finch eventually went courtesy of a fine catch from Eoin Morgan. Smith mishit one to mid-off as England started to fight back.

  12. Finch and captain Steve Smith put Australia in a commanding position. They added 96 in 15.3 overs for the second wicket.

  13. Phew. Let's take a look back at some of the action from today then. Aaron Finch, desperately in need of some runs, found some form. The opener scored 68 from 64 balls.

  14. Get Involved

    Proof, if ever needed, that Edgbaston has the greatest atmosphere of any international stadium in England, if not the world. I'd go as far to say it's the Barmy Army's home ground.

    This is Rashid's second excellent performance after being left out of the opening match.

  16. England 'fairly pleased'

    Mark Wood speaking to Sky Sports: "We are fairly pleased. We fought back well; they looked like they were going to get more. Rashid proved getting wickets was vital."

    On his figures of 4-33: "It's always nice to do it against Australia, but I think I have bowled similar in other games."

    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I think England will be feeling happy with that bowling performance. Anything under 300 nowadays, you pat yourselves on the back. Australia will feel they've got a chance of defending that, though.

  19. Aus 277-9

    England need 278 to win

    Another edge for four, some sloppy fielding and good running as Stokes goes for 12 in the final over.

    So there we have it, what a great morning and afternoon of cricket.

    Australia will owe a lot to Travis Head if they are to go on and win this game. England, likewise, to Mark Wood and Adil Rashid.

  20. dropped catch

    Head dropped on 65

    Aus 271-9

    Oh! That's the second catch Plunkett has shelled! Head went big, the ball flew up towards cover off the top edge, and Plunkett ran forward but couldn't cling on. He looks delighted with himself.
