Where has he got that from? He's barely timed a shot throughout. That's come from nowhere.

Where has he got that from? He's barely timed a shot throughout. That's come from nowhere.
That was Ben Stokes' 100th six in ODIs.
Well, well, well this should give Ben Stokes some confidence.
He gets to fifty by heaving a pull into the stands off Mitchell Stac for six. That made a lovely sound off the bat.
England need him to grab this game by the scruff of the neck.
Marnus Labuschagne was fairly measured when batting. Taking 83 balls to reach his 77.
He was much more animated for Joe Root's wicket however, pleading with his captain to make the review.
You can gaurantee he'll be straight in Pat Cummins' ear if the opportunity arises again.
Three singles off that over from Travis Head. That will please Pat Cummins. England are not far behind what Australia had scored on at this point, though.

England have got to take Travis Head down, they have no other option.
A rather ugly-looking mistimed pull from Ben Stokes as he attempts to launch Travis Head over the man at mid-wicket but is through the shot early.
Good intent shown, at least, to take on the part-time offie.

We're told there's a crowd of 55,052 here tonight. A very good effort for a neutral game.
If you're just joining us, here's the England wickets to fall so far as they attempt to chase down 287 for victory in Ahmedabad.

The batters who have done well in this World Cup have not been explosive to begin with. People like Quinton de Kock, they've given themselves time and have then had good boundary options. They've been willing to bat time, which you need to be fit to do in this heat.
Adam Zampa begins with two wides followed by five dots to Moeen Ali. He works away a single off the final ball of the over to keep the strike.
England are going to have to throw caution to the wind at some stage. They certainly have plenty of hitting when the time comes to open the shoulders

Delight for those supporting Australia down here...
Ben Stokes with a boundary to end Pat Cummins' sixth over as he beats the fielder with a hook despite the efforts of Travis Head down on the boundary.
A thick edge from Moeen Ali off Pat Cummins brings him a boundary through third.
Two balls later and Ben Stokes pulls across the line but can only pick out the fielder.

Ian: How did we go from being so good to so bad so quickly? Very embarrassing!
England going for two left-handers to Adam Zampa. Moeen Ali with a cautious start.

Moeen's in ahead of Livingstone, presumably to try and hit the leg-spinner into the leg side.

Buttler didn't need to go so soon. He's chosen the wrong moment to go. He's not having a good World Cup. That is a poor option, but I think that's because of the maiden in the previous over.
Buttler c Green b Zampa 1 (Aus 106-4)
Spoke too soon...
Jos Buttler advances down the pitch to Adam Zampa but he hits the ball straight down the throat of Cameron Green.
Completely mistimed by Buttler, who was trying to hit it into the legside.
Zampa punches the air in celebration.
The England captain's miserable tournament continues.
Thanks, Mike.
A lot rests on the shoulders of this pair for England. They need a match-defining partnership.
