    Yorker from Marcus Stoinis. Dug out for a single for Chris Woakes.

    Marcus Stoinis, then. Chris Woakes works it off his pads for a couple for starters.

    Can England go big here?

  3. Geoff Lemon
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Woakes throws back his head and thinks "thank goodness!" He picked the length ball - the England dug-out had to jump for cover.

  4. 6 runs

    Eng 243-8

    Yes Chris Woakes, can!

    He wallops a wide one from Pat Cummins back over his head, and that of long off, for six.

    England need 44 runs off 18 balls. Still a big ask.

  5. Eng 234-8

    Pat Cummins is banking on England leaving themselves with too much to do as he bowls his final over.

    Three singles and a fresh air shot from Chris Woakes to start.

    Can England find a boundary?

  6. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport in Ahmedabad

    There are footprints all over the grass surface now as a result of the dew. The sad fact is England don't have enough batters left to take advantage.

  7. Eng 233-8

    Second-to-last ball of the over and Adil Rashid with a helicopter shot to hook Josh Hazlewood for four between mid-wicket and long-on for four,

    Valuable runs.

    Here's the man of the moment for Australia , Adam Zampa, with a brilliant catch to get rid of David Willey.

  8. Eng 227-8

    Marcus Stoinis has to bowl two overs for Australia. England are going to need to really punish them if they are to somehow pull this out of the bag.

    One run off Josh Hazlewood's first three deliveries are the run rate continues to climb as Chris Woakes twice swings and misses.

    Arjun: Yes, Tony (16:12), let’s get rid of the one of the world’s premier white-ball batsmen… no one is arguing he’s in bad form, but honestly! Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water.

  10. Eng 226-8

    Adil Rashid with a single off the final ball of the over, nudged round the corner, to keep the strike.

    Three runs from that Pat Cummins over. Doesn't feel like enough. The run rate is now 12.20 with five overs remaining.

  11. Eng 224-8

    Pat Cummins with tight lines gives not width to Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid. England with just two runs off his first four deliveries.

    Slim pickings.

    Don't know why people are upset... we are only going to lose by 60 runs. Our second-best result of this tournament.

    It's just the wickets. If you're six down in this position, OK, but eight - two mistakes and you're finished.

  15. Eng 223-8

    Chris Woakes mullers a slower ball from Josh Hazlewood through mid-wicket for another four. He's not giving up the ghost just yet.

    The commitment from the Australians in the field has been incredible. Diving around in the ring and on the boundary.

    Brilliantly caught! It's Adam Zampa - if he wasn't player of the match, he is now!

    WICKET

    Willey c Zampa b Hazlwood 15 (Eng 216-8)

    England running out of batters.

    David Willey starts the over with a boundary - pulling a slower bouncer from Josh Hazlewood - but he's gone next ball.

    It's short again and clubbed into the leg side again but this time it's caught by...you guessed it, Adam Zampa.

  20. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I don't know how many times Shane Warne was that economical. And think about the era that Adam Zampa is bowling in.
