    Ball 1 sets the tone. England ready to bottle this from the off.

    Richard, London

    The first ball aside, that was a very good first over from Chris Woakes.

    Tom Oxley: There should be a lost-productivity helpline for self-employeds on days like today.

  4. Aus 4-0

    Warner 4, Finch 0

    Woakes gets a bit of swing there, I reckon, just came back in towards Warner who fends it away as the Barmy Army get through a rendition of Jerusalem in the stands. A dot ball is roundly applauded.

    The atmosphere is bubbling as Woakes bowls a beauty, well left.

    Alex Jacques: I’ve scheduled all my appointments today in pubs that I know will have the cricket on, TMS keeping me updated in between. COME ON ENGLAND!!

  6. Aus 4-0

    Woooooooooaaahhhhhhh....

    Woakes is in, David Warner drives him for four through the covers!

  7. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Chris Woakes has played here all of his career. He will know the lines and lengths. He is a good player to have in your bowling attack.

  8. It's certainly a bit quieter without India's fans in.

    Chris Woakes is opening the bowling. All set...?

  9. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Edgbaston

    Without being negative, there are a lot of empty seats at the moment.

  10. Australia have been involved in seven previous Men’s Cricket World Cup semi-finals and have progressed to the final every time (W6 T1); England have won three of their last four at this stage of the competition, however this is the first time they have reached this point since 1992.

  11. Get there early!

    England are officially the away side today but Australia very generously let them have their usual dressing room.

  14. 100k of you joining us online already - and we haven't done anything yet. The home of procrastination.

    Here come the sides for the anthems...

    Paul Beech: Tell Archer to pitch it up, skip... no short rubbish!

    Rob: Bring it on, Australia, because this cup's ours. Give it your best - then we'll hunt you down.

    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    If there is one venue I'd chose to chase it would be here at Edgbaston.

  18. Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on TMS

    Jos Buttler is a key player today. The way the tournament has gone, he hasn't had that much time in the middle.

    I woke up this morning feeling that it is a Jos Buttler day.

  19. Finish at 12! That is brilliant, but surely not worth coming in at all?

    There isn't a man, woman or child in the UK who would be missed if they had today off work. If we're being honest.

    Except maybe Jason Roy.

  20. Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on TMS

    England have been a chasing side for three or four years. Before the tournament Eoin Morgan would have snapped your hand off to be chasing today.

    Hopefully all of the experience they have gained over the last four years will mean they are able to deal with the pressure.
