    He's also chilling in the 'I'm a Celeb' jungle right now, Neil.

    A reverse sweep from Billings, past a diving Aaron Finch who should have done better, and England score another boundary.

    I'm currently watching Phil Tufnell on A Question of Sport. How can he do that and the cricket at the same time?

  5. Eng 203-6published at 41 overs

    England need 92 from 54 balls

    A good comeback from Marsh - two dot balls before Billings cuts for two runs.

    But still a big over for England. A few more of those would do nicely for the hosts.

  6. 6 runs

    Eng 201-6published at 40.3 overs

    Billings hoicks Marsh over mid-wicket for six. And England's 200 is up.

    That's 11 from the first three balls of this over.

    Woakes has done it with the bat before for England.

  8. Eng 195-6published at 40.2 overs

    Mitchell Marsh pitches it up and Chris Woakes drives over the fielders in the ring and down to the boundary for four. He likes that shot, does Woakesy.

    A single brings Billings on strike.

    England are going to have to go some from here. Billings will have to be the man.

  10. Eng 190-6published at 40 overs

    England need 105 from 60 balls

    Maxwell hits the middle stump but it won't count, Billings had pulled away from the shot before the Australian had finished his delivery stride, something behind the bowler's arm distracting the England batsman.

    Seven from the over.

    That's a beautiful bit of timing from Billings.

  12. Eng 187-6published at 39.3 overs

    Maxwell continues and it's perfect timing from Sam Billings as he takes a step down the pitch, leans in and drives down to mid-on for four.

    Hazlewood 10-3-26-3

    Chris Woakes is the new man in and Josh Hazlewood finishes his superb bowling spell with two dot balls. My word, he's been SO good today.

    It was all looking a lot more promising for England when Bairstow and Billings were going well. Then this happened...Australia have been on it in the field...

    It was in the slot, but he got it on the bottom of the bat. He's nailed it to extra cover. You think that could be the end of England.

    Moeen c Labuschagne b Hazlewood 6 (Eng 182-6)

    Oh, Moeen. It was there to be driven but he finds Labuschagne at extra cover and England lose another wicket.

    England's hopes here are fading.

    Greg Double: It’s now approaching that stage of the evening where every commentator says that “Jofra Archer can bat” despite no evidence of this being true on the international stage.

  17. Eng 181-5published at 38 overs

    Heart in mouth moment for England fans, Moeen Ali goes aerial, doesn't quite get hold of it and slices it, the ball falling just short of the fielder at cover.

  18. Eng 178-5published at 37.3 overs

    Aaron Finch turns to Glenn Maxwell who races through the first few balls, not allowing Moeen time to even think, let alone score.

    There's a massive appeal from Australia as Moeen plays onto his pads. A definite inside edge and, wisely, it isn't reviewed.

    It's Billings' fourth half-century in ODI cricket. This summer he has 182 runs and only been out once.

    Eng 177-5

    Billings tucks off the hips to bring up his 50, from 66 balls. A muted celebration, he knows he has a lot of work to do here for his team.
