    England bowled their overs so quickly - about 20 minutes earlier than the cut-off.

    Here come Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow, the England openers looking run-hungry. It's sunny in Durham, but that wind is biting. Michael Neser has the ball.

    By the way, have you seen what is happening at Guildford? Surrey are playing Somerset in the Championship.

    Surrey made 459 and Somerset were 169-4. Then Ryan Patel came on to bowl his medium-pace.

    Somerset are now 178-9. Patel has taken five wickets for four runs in two overs.

    A couple of years ago, you wouldn't have backed England to chase 310 in 60 overs. Now you'd fancy them to eat this for breakfast.

    Will: I reckon Australia are about 200 short here.

    But Mark Wood came back to bowl a superb spell, trapping Aaron Finch for exactly 100...

    Shaun Marsh also reached three figures but then also fell straight after to this majestic piece of fielding by Jason Roy and Craig Overton...

    A flurry of late wickets checked Australia's progress and they ended up with 310-8.

    Australia were content to tap ones or two for the most part, but Aaron Finch lit up against Adil Rashid, hitting the leg-spinner for some massive sixes on his way to a century...

    What do you make of England women's keeper Sarah Taylor?

    Adam Gilchrist
    Former Australia wicketkeeper on TMS

    I tweeted a week ago that she's the best wicket-keeper in the world at the moment, male or female.

    That's a bold statement I guess. But she's so skillful, has beautiful, soft hands and keeps executing these leg-side stumpings. She has a bit more time with the pace of the bowlers in women's cricket but does so well standing up.

    Former Australia wicketkeeper on TMS

    There was one time I didn't walk though.

    I was playing in an Academy match against a leg-spinner, went back and played a cut, got an edge on it and was caught but it was given not out. I don't know why but I just stood there.

    I went on to hit a century. After the match, the bowler, who must have been about 38 years old, came up to me and said, "Well played." I felt awful so apologised for not walking.

    He said: "Oh, it's fine. It obviously means more to you than it does to me."

    That was an arrow to my heart and I never did it again.

    Were you ever put under pressure not to walk?

    Adam Gilchrist
    Former Australia wicketkeeper on TMS

    No I was never made to feel uncomfortable. I never felt pressured by my team-mates or captain not to walk.

    There was one time we went on a leadership course where we were talking about how we wanted to play. I suggested we showed the world a different way of playing, which included walking, and that got shot down very quickly.

    People hate to see selective walkers, though. You do or you don't.

    In all honesty, that wasn't the most memorable ODI innings, with Australia content to tap it around in the middle overs, keeping wickets in hand.

    But when they tried to accelerate, England pegged them back with a flurry of wickets, including this definitely memorable moment.

    Well played, Jason Roy and Craig Overton...

    I'm looking forward to big Billy Stanlake. He'll come in with the wind. He's an outstanding bowler and could easily knock over two or three at the top of the order.

  19. Postpublished at 17:15 British Summer Time 21 June 2018

    So England need 311 runs to win at 6.22 runs per over to take a 4-0 lead in the series.

    Will they come out blazing? Can Australia's bowlers make early inroads?

    Stick with us to find out after the interval.

    We're in for a cracker. As much as teams are used to getting 300, chasing is always more difficult. Australia have two slow bowlers and there will be more for the spinners to aim for. It will be a really good game, but expect England to get over the line. It's the sort of game they need.
