    My son Jack lives in Oz and has taken a lot of earache from his Aussie mates over the course of the WC. Spoke to him today and he can't wait to get to work tomorrow!

    Target 224

    Jason Behrendorff has actually bowled very nicely since he came back on, as the crowd ask David Warner to relay the score to them.

    Joe Root gets on his tip toes to pull a short one away for four, the target is in single figures now...

    Charles Shuttleworth: Ironically, I’ll now be staying late in the office to catch the end so I don’t miss it on the commute.

    Australia have brought a lot to this World Cup. Mitchell Starc, Warner, Finch and Smith. They have contributed to a great World Cup.

    Zeb Bowyer: Wonderful opening spell by England’s bowlers, turned out to be a good time to bowl. Can’t help but think the Aussies lost this game at the end of the game versus South Africa. I was there and they looked thoroughly disconsolate at the thought of facing England.

  7. England need 14 from 120 balls.

  8. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Jason Roy has passed 50 in nine of his last 11 innings. Only four other players have done that. Javed Miandad, Shakib al Hasan, Ross Taylor and Geoffrey Boycott. I don't think Geoffrey scored them quite as quickly as Jason Roy.

    Roy’s wicket a blessing. Get some ice on that hammy, and Morgan out there reminding himself of how much form he is in.

    This is a horrible position to be in as a fielding team.

    Nathan Lyon is getting a mauling.

  11. Eng 210-2

    Morgan 40, Root 34

    Shot! Eoin Morgan rocks back and cuts Nathan Lyon to the fence for yet another four. Joe Root then pulls out the reverse sweep for another boundary.

    Haven't seen Australians this far off the pace since Kylie and Nick Cave at Glastonbury.

    Quite a few of these Australian players will be back here for the first Ashes Test and they won't be rushing back. It is a reminder of what this support is like here.

    I wonder whether Joe Root and David Warner will be sharing a "beer" again at the Walkabout Bar on Broad Street tonight?

    This is beyond all imagination let alone expectation of what might happen today.

    Ian Blyth: Come on Australia, bring Smith on for another over and we can all get on with our day.

    Peter Simmons: England are in 350+ mode chasing 224 in a World Cup semi. Incredible stuff.

    Struggling to explain to my 4 year old that he's supporting the wrong team, just because he was born down under. Suggestions, please.

    England need 27 to win

    It's a very rare sight in England but there are some very flat, broken Australian cricketers out there at the moment.

    Their chance for revenge will come in the upcoming Ashes. Good over, a maiden from Jason Behrendorff.
