Live Reporting

Thomas Mallows and Matthew Henry

  1. Eng 268-7

    The crowd are getting a touch restless, they want England to finish this off quickly.

    Kane Richardson has other ideas though, with just a single off his first three deliveries.

  2. Eng 267-7

    Pre-meditated from Chris Woakes, getting back and across before forcing the ball out into the offside for two. He then pushes the final delivery to mid-off for a single.

    Nathan Lyon is done for the day, 1-37 from his 10 overs.

  3. Eng 264-7

    Nathan Lyon, who has been impressive today is back into the attack. His first ball is fumbled by sub fielder Glenn Maxwell for a single. A dot ball follows before Liam Plunkett nudges one down to long-on for a single.

  4. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on TMS

    That boundary from Plunkett just eases the pressure for England.

    It was a lovely shot.

  5. Eng 262-7

    Frustration for Kane Richardson who, after conceding just three runs from his first five balls, sees Liam Plunkett cut his final delivery fine for four runs.

  6. Jack Skelton
    BBC Sport in Southampton

    Is this fairly sedate encounter building towards a thrilling finish?

  7. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on TMS

    In this situation you have a target over, possibly the 45th. You try and score 15 runs off it to effectively win the game.

  8. Eng 255-7

    Target 298

    It's a solid return for Marcus Stoinis, who nearly deceives Liam Plunkett with a slower ball outside the off-stump but the ball squirms away for a single. Four off the over in total.

  9. Jack Skelton
    BBC Sport in Southampton

    The man dressed as a ball just tried to fling his bit of sandpaper at Glenn Maxwell to sign. It landed a couple of yards short.

    Southampton

  10. Eng 251-7

    Liam Plunkett comes into the middle and gets a single off the final ball. Kane Richardson has a satisfied smile on his face at the end of that over.

    WICKET

    Curran c Khawaja b Richardson 2 (Eng 250-7)

    Richardson responds with a wicket! After Chris Woakes nudges a single, a length ball dangled outside off stump is cut straight at Usman Khawaja at point.

  12. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on TMS

    Now this is a good game!

  13. Eng 249-6

    Kane Richardson switches ends for his sixth over and that's a wonderful drive from Chris Woakes. It is full and wide yes, but Woakes times it perfectly to send the ball flying towards to point boundary for four.

  14. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on TMS

    England do need to work on manoeuvring spin bowling. Lyon has bowled nicely but nothing special and England haven't been able to manoeuvre him.

    There are a lot of good spinners in the World Cup. You need to be able to score 120 runs of the two spinners' 20 overs.

  15. Eng 243-6

    Nathan Lyon is back for his ninth over and again proves tricky for England to get away, with just the three singles off it.

    The run-rate is creeping up towards seven an over so England will need to step it up soon.

    Stuart Mitchell: Moeen Ali being Moeen Ali didn't need to hit out at this point - would really consider starting Dawson over him on Thursday.

  17. Eng 240-6

    That brings Tom Curran to the crease and he fends off the final ball of the over. That has dragged things back a bit for Australia.

    Adam Zampa ends with figures of 1-54 from his 10 overs.

  18. Melinda Farrell
    BBC Test Match Special

    Now I wonder whether we might see more of an attack. That is the type of player Curran is.

  19. Simon Mann
    TMS commentator

    That changes the complexion! Some will say it is not a bad thing for England's lower order to deal with the pressure of a run-chase.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Moeen Ali c Richardson b Zampa 22 (Eng 239-6)

    Zampa finally gets a wicket in his final over! It is a bit of a slog from Moeen Ali that isn't well timed and Kane Richardson takes the catch on the long on boundary.
