"A belter of a pitch" according to Atherton, Ward and Finch.
Doesn't sound like an Indian pitch where England struggled against the sublime Indian spinners.
Without their big 3 pace bowlers Can Zampa find the form he had when he had the better of Buttler and Root?
I believe it's a 50/50 match but England will need to set a big total as the Aussie's have some destructive batsmen, as do England if they can find their best.
Archer, Wood and Carse may relish this pitch if it's a belter of a pitch.
I prefer to watch 50 overs cricket to the manic 20 over game.
EnglandĀ V Australia is the ultimate cricket contest.

A low, slow road judging by the first over. Just what we ordered.Ā0
-
Oh my word - Carey, the keeper fielding at mid-on, has dived and mid-air caught Salt one handed0
-
What a catchĀ0
-
Cracking one handed leaping catch by Carey(not keeping today) to get rid of Salt who had started well.
Similar to Phillips catch for NZ.
32/1 after 4 and Smith has got in early to build a good score š¤š»
Johnson getting a chance for the Aussie's because of the regulars not here and most of us first saw him in the 100's when he took 3 for 1 in the 20 balls he bowled.

Smith chips one to Carey in exactly the same spot. We cannot afford to give cheap wickets away like that. Scoring at 8 an over is great but not if you aren't going to use all your overs up.Ā0

43/2 as Smith finds the fielder after he had started well. š¤¦š»āāļø0

350 pitch.2

Root is 19 off 19 and hasn't hit a single ball in the air.Ā0

73/2 after 10 and the power play.
This outfield is like lightning.0 -

If a wide is given, down the leg side, but the keeper appeals and, on review, it turns out the ball flicked a trouser leg...Ā
1, Is the wide overturned? (I assume it is)Ā
2, does the fielding team retain the review? (I assume not)Ā0 -

126/2Ā after 18 overs and Duckett reaches his 50 at a run a ball and controlled so far.0

104 partnership between Duckett and Root at a tad under a run a ball.0

Half way at 25 overs:

Duckett 73 Root 54

350 has to be the target now with 8 wickets in hand.0

It's almost as if it's suddenly registered how to construct a 50 over innings. Still have to execute that plan which we have, to date, been doing.Ā1

Gonna call it early. We will be 40 runs short of a good scoreĀ0

Australia will really struggle in all formats when their fast bowling trio, Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood retire, their replacements so far look well below standard0

About 40 moreā¦.blackpool72 said:

no idea, just waiting for the inevitable collapse that leaves us on 320 rather than 360 or similarĀ
or we get 4200 -
I think England have been playing with us. Last 6 months has just been a joke to see who can hit it the hardest / furthest. They were always going to play "properly" once an important tournament appeared.
380 bare minimum from here. It used to be said look at the score at 30 overs & double it - esp with wickets in hand.
Should be looking at 400 +0 -
30 overs gone:
Duckett 92 Root 68
200/2 The 20 overs match can start now !

Excellent over by Zampa, the best so far and he gets Root LBW 68. Just 1 off the over.
201/3Ā0 -
Could be disastrous. Could be a blessing in disguise.Ā1

Professional umpires love giving out on the sweep.0

Excellent 100 by Ben Duckett in 95 balls.0
