Now that rather large gentleman falling over the boundary boards and then doing the same when trying to go back somewhat lightened up proceedings.

Unfortunately I don't think it is now with Haddin hitting 10 in two balls off Finn.

Just 32 off the last 5 overs needed.

Over complete. 32 from 30.

Haddin's playing the innings that we needed a couple of at the end.

Buttler comes up to the stumps.

Australia win with one ball to spare. By three wickets.

Callumcafc

We threw that one away with our poor batting towards the end of our innings.

We were looking great up until around 40 overs and I just had a feeling 59-6 from the final 10 would come back to bite us.

Smith has come a long way since he did this:

Smith is a miserable sod. playing well though.

England's batting performance in the last 10 overs snatched defeat from the jaws of victory .. the team is gradually improving but not nearly enough to win the world cup ..
Steve Smith .. phenomenal improvement over the past two years .. real Aussie grit and cussedness .. an example really to some of our younger batsmen .. he's no stylist but does the job wonderfully well
