Well, what do we make of that from Australia? Apart from Aaron Finch, it felt pretty ordinary. However, all credit to England. They bowled very impressively, spin playing a key role with Root chipping in with two wickets, and Eoin Morgan's captaincy and tactics were outstanding. England didn't have any problem chasing over 300 a few days ago so they'll be hugely confident of hunting this down. Australia are short of experience in the bowling attack, but you never know. We'll be back at 5.30pm for the chase.

Wood to White, 1 run, wide outside off, White swings and gets a toe end down the ground

Aaron: "Well, Australia stacking the batting cards didn't work out for them. Now Australia have to try and get 10 wickets with only one strike bowler. Rather brainless from Smith and the selectors."
