Labuschagne given LBW to Rashid - reviewing

Rashid all over them, can't pick him at all

Rashid gets Carey, mis-hit on the sweep 123-5

[Cobs]

222-5 with 10 to go  

[muleskinner]

Thank f*** for that.

[Cobs]

Bairstow just survives an LBW on review

England making a mess of things. 63-4 from 19

[kop205]

Yeah, just checked the score, don't think I'll bother switching on.

Is Bairstow going for the Sunil Gavaskar carry your bat for 32 or something

He’s had massive problems timing the ball early on. Been hit 3 times

They’ve no chance chasing this down tonight - so these guys should take all the batting practice they can.

zampa needs to calm his appeals down

[Cobs]

Bairstow gets his 50 - his slowest in International cricket ! (i'd assume ODI cricket - but that's what Warne said)

Billings struggling with his timing like Bairstow was early doors

 

Aussies over appealing again - you can use your reviews, guys....

100 partnership up - still not very fluid batting 158-4 16 overs left

[Tommok]

Got closer than I thought we would

[Cobs]

Can’t be scoring 22 off the first 10

great knock by Billings though

[kop205]

Let them get at least 30 or so more than they should have done from 120-5 or whatever

[Bailo]

Add Zampa to the list of "suspiciously s*** then becomes really good australian cricketers" 

[Cobs]

2nd ODI

Eng won toss and bat 1st

Sam & Tom Curran in for Wood & Ali

[kop205]

Must have some clunk to the head Smith took in the nets - apparently he passed the concussion test but has still missed two games.

Shame, would have liked to see Archer steaming in at him.

 

[Cobs]

Kinell- Roy gone 1st ball - reviewing 

Missing, thank f***

[kop205]

s*** decision that, always looked high.

[Cobs]

Was 2nd ball, actually- still...

[kop205]

So lucky there, Bairstow

The Australian seam attack is really good, isn't it? Can barely get bat on ball. If it hadn't been for that midfield by Cummins the rate would be one an over.
