    The slow-motion replay, as it always seems to, looks as though it has hit the ground, but one from another angle indicates his hands are under it.

    The slow-mo makes it look like it hit the ground. The slow-mo always makes it look worse.

    I got the feeling, from a distance away, that it didn't carry.

  4. Umpire reviewpublished at 11:30 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2018

    Now has Maxwell been caught in the deep? Is he out for 59? It looked a clean catch by Jason Roy but the umpires are conferring. The soft signal is out so let's see.

    England were delighted when Glenn Maxwell wasn't picked in that one-day series. I think he could've made all the difference.

    Target 156

    The end of Wood's over and he has one left, taking 1-19 from his first three. He only has a 10-pace run-up but there is a remarkable amount going into it, arms, legs and hips taking a tremendous pounding.

    That was an easy catch for Billings, but Wood deserved that wicket. He cramped Stoinis for room in the last over and he's been rewarded here. Is this England's opportunity to squeeze?

    One scything boundary from Stoinis but he goes for another big hit at Wood and it loops up gently to mid-off.

    Target 156

    Maxwell smites Rashid over extra cover for four to bring up his half-century from 30 balls, his fourth fifty in his 40th international. Something of a novelty to see a bare-headed batsman as the first burst of 'Sweet Caroline' rings around the stadium.

    Alex Hales isn't great in the field, is he. Surely a consideration when there's so much competition for places in the team?

  11. Aus 85-3published at 10 overs

    Target 156

    Stoinis off the mark from his seventh delivery, almost Bill Lawry-like in Twenty20 terms but Australia are certainly not in need of acceleration. England were 96-3 at the same halfway stage of their innings but it all went wrong from there.

    That was tighter than it first looked as Stoinis hovered his back foot, but he got it back down in time.

    No, in a word. The foot was firmly down behind the crease.

  14. Umpire reviewpublished at 11:13 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2018

    The umpires are going to have a look for a stumping at Stoinis. Was the foot raised? It looks a bit of a tentative appeal.

    A bit of a squeeze, Short was looking frustrated and there you go.

    The end of a 78-run partnership and the third caught and bowled of the match. Mr D'Arcy is a little tucked up and he can only drive it back to Rashid, who takes a neat one-handed return catch as umpire Abood takes evasive action in his helmet behind.

  17. Aus 82-2published at 8 overs

    Target 156

    Fabulous shot again from Maxwell, he is not all brute force, this full length delivery is angled delicately backward of point for his fourth four. He's got three sixes as well and raced to 47.

    Oh, how England needed that. A catch that should've been taken.

    Dropped catch - Maxwell on 40published at 11:05 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2018

    Oh, Alex Hales! It was a full toss from Curran, Maxwell flipped it to the mid-wicket fence and Hales spilled it. He got both hands on it, at a comfortable out, but out it came, like the proverbial bar of soap in the shower.

    Australia one run behind England at the six over stage then as Adil Rashid comes in for the first spin of the innings. Maxwell removes the helmet and helps himself to two sixes on either side of the wicket.
