    Warner on 49...

  2. Aus 107-1published at 11.3 overs

    Target 163

    Awful from Tom Banton. Beached on the sand. Flapping around at deep square leg for another Smith pull to go for four.

    That was a magnificent shot.

  4. Aus 103-1published at 11.2 overs

    Target 163

    94mph. Short ball. Smith's first delivery since March. Pulls it for four like it was a club trundler.

    Really well played - you've got to give Finch credit. He has batted intelligently and picked his boundaries throughout.

  6. Aus 98-1published at 11 overs

    Target 163

    Steve Smith the new man. Anyone for Archer v Smith?

    Is it too little, too late? We'll see...

    Finch c Jordan b Archer 46 (Aus 98-1)

    Finally, the wicket England need. Aaron Finch has clothed Jofra Archer to mid-off, where the safe hands of Chris Jordan pouch the catch. Too late, or the start of something for England?

  9. Aus 98-0published at 10.5 overs

    Target 163

    Two gold chains, actually.

  10. Aus 97-0published at 10.4 overs

    Target 163

    Archer is sporting a magnificent gold chain around his neck. Finch dabs behind point for a couple. A hook is just short of the man at fine leg, bouncing up and hitting diving fielder Mark Wood somewhere around the mush.

    This is the fourth time in five innings that England have not taken a wicket in the six-over powerplay.

    It is the ninth time out of 10 that they have conceded over 50.

  12. Aus 93-0published at 10.1 overs

    Target 163

    After those howitzers from Wood, England go back to Archer. Pace, pace, pace. Still no Moeen.

    Australia have absolutely motored.

  14. Aus 91-0published at 10 overs

    Target 163

    Excellent over from Wood. Only four from it, and two of those were wides.

    Jonathan France: England being made to look very, very ordinary in this match. Nowhere near enough runs!

  16. Aus 89-0published at 9.4 overs

    Target 163

    This is good from Wood. Bowling at the speed of light. Worth a catcher?

  17. ouch!

    Aus 89-0published at 9.2 overs

    Target 163

    This might be the only way to stop Warner. Mark Wood gets Warner very close to the bullseye with one in excess of 90mph.

    This is brutal from Finch. It's hard to know where the wicket is going to come from.

  19. Aus 87-0published at 9 overs

    Warner 43, Finch 41

    England are missing Ben Stokes here.

    Mark Burt: Morgan is not having his best game. No idea what the plan is. Australia should walk this.
