England v Australia: fourth men’s cricket one-day international – live | Cricket

11th over: England 56-1 (Duckett 27, Jacks 1) Duckett endures his second lbw examine and then reacts by thwacking Abbott’s half-volley down the ground for four. A two labored off the back foot persists his score ticking alengthy. Jacks inserts a one with a punch thraw the covers.

Big shout for lbw as Abbott pulls out the celebrrequest! Aget Joel Wilson says not out as Duckett is pinned on the stumps. Height isn’t the problem this time. That pitched outside the line of leg stump. Australia ignore a examine.

10th over: England 49-1 (Duckett 21, Jacks 1) Quality aget from Hazlewood. Just one run – to the novel man Jacks who punched past cover – and the wicket. What a bowler. England might want to get a shift on now and aim Abbott at the other finish.

WICKET! Salt c Labuschagne b Hazlewood 22 (England 48-1)

9th over: England 47-0 (Salt 22, Duckett 21) Abbott comes into the aggression but can’t find his line. His first two balls are expansive outside off stump and Salt lashes them both to the point boundary. Abbott straightens and Salt then picks a one off his pads. Duckett inside-edges and almost gets four, but Carey, diving at fine leg, persists it to two. A leg-bye off the final ball unbenevolents it’s an pricey begin for Abbott.

8th over: England 35-0 (Salt 13, Duckett 19) After getting pulled for four, Hazlewood goes back to line and length and it’s effective. Duckett faces four balls but can’t labor a gap. On his fifth he squeezes a one past a diving backward point. Salt persists the strike and shuts out the powerjoin with a one of his own.

7th over: England 33-0 (Salt 12, Duckett 18) Duckett gets a life as Starc’s extra bounce off the deck unbenevolents the lbw shout is turned down on examine. Starc was self-secured but Joel Wilson was unshiftd. The umpire’s decision unbenevolentt that even though it might have been clipping the bails, Duckett remained not-out.

He then spanked Starc over cover for four, lofted another over mid-on for three and was almost caught on the leg side after a directing edge that finished with Duckett diving at the non-striker’s finish. A straightforward hit might have seen him gone.

An eventful over inserts 10 to the total.

Duckett endures a lbw examine! Starc pinned him on the crease but the umpire’s decision was not-out. Had Joel Wilson given it Duckett would’ve been on his way. Umpire’s call on height persists England’s uncovering pair intact.

6th over: 23-0 (Salt 11, Duckett 10) Salt is uncovering up. He trots out his crease and wafts at a firm transfery from Hazlewood that lifts off a outstanding length. It catches a dense outside edge and flies over Steve Smith at second slip for four. Salt swantes at the next ball and doesn’t get anywhere cforfeit it. The next is hacked with no feet and dribbles back up the pitch. He’s having a go, no inquire about it. Good fielding in the covers persists him on strike which unbenevolents there’s time to get beaten – aget – on his outside edge.

5th over: England 17-0 (Salt 5, Duckett 10) Starc twice beats Salt who determines he’s going to fight back. A huge swoosh gives him two and then a bunt off a yorker finishs with a fraudpered one down the ground. Morpartner the bowler is thrivening this battle but Salt finishures.

Bag novels for Big Cam Green ahead of a huge summer:

4th over: England 14-0 (Salt 2, Duckett 10) Duckett climbs into a lengthy-off from Hazlewood who digs in a bumper but the England uncoverer is all over it, rising with the bounce and rolling his wrists as he pulls it for four in front of square. It’s a outstanding retort from Duckett who was well beaten on his outside edge the ball before with a wobble-seam transfery. At the top of the set, Salt tickled a one off his hips.

3rd over: England 7-0 (Salt 1, Duckett 6) Starc almost hageders onto a keen return catch off Duckett from the first ball of the over. Angling in from that slingy left arm, he finds sthriveg away from the left-hander and beats him. Duckett does well though not to chase it and nick off. There’s a untamed slash that flies down to convey inant third for two and another two labored thraw square leg. Duckett then originates it a hat-trick of twos with a punch thraw a gap in the covers. Good comeback from the uncoverer.

2nd over: England 1-0 (Salt 1, Duckett 0) Hazelwood uncovers the other finish and transfers a maiden. He’s such a top quality bowler and he’s on the money promptly, hitting an awkward length and finding a tantalising fourth stump line. Some zip off the pitch unbenevolents Salt isn’t confident where to join it from and is more or less stuck on his crease. Salt comes out the crease to negate the shiftment away thraw the air but he can’t labor the one. Lovely bowling.

1st over: England 1-0 (Salt 1, Duckett 0) Starc gets us going and he’s a little leg-side to begin. The first transfery pops off a length and thuds Salt’s gcherish but then the England uncoverer labors a one behind square. The left-hander Duckett provides a tantalising angle for Starc who sees to convey a brimminger one away from him. Two slips hover. Ducket leans into a flashing drive but doesn’t get hageder of it. The last ball is a beauty that almost finds the edge.

Phil Salt is out there in a jumper, taking protect. Looks appreciate middle and leg if you’re interested.

Micth Starc has the ball in his hand. My outstandingness, we’re actupartner going to get some cricket!

Finpartner the paemploy is (almost) over!

More than two hours since our scheduled begin time, the Aussies, in the dazzling canary yellow, are cutting striking figures cforfeit the boundary in the gloom of Lord’s. We’ll be up and running stupidinutively.

Hi Anwen Crawford from Sydney, thanks for dropping in:

Hi Daniel. It’s getting procrastinateedr and procrastinateedr here in Sydney! Will this align commence before the midnight hour? (Thankbrimmingy it’s a Friday night.) I echo your frustration at the procrastinate between toss and first ball in an ODI.

Phired to see that Alex Carey has persisted his place in the Australian team – how could he not after two standout carry outances – though sairyly baffled that it’s Inglis who’s been given the gcherishs. I had thought that if both joined, it would be the other way around, given that Inglis has showd himself quite pliable in terms of the batting order, and I do leank of Carey as the ageder wicketpersister. Either way, I hope both join well today, and that Carey can banish the gpresents of Lord’s past, if necessitate be. The mistreatment he copped last year was appalling.

What are we calling this white ball series? Is it the Bashes? Or the Washes, given the weather?

Hang firm mate, we’re begining in 15 minutes.

Agree with you on Carey. He’s such a stubborn competitor. I was there in Manchester when he got knocked on the chin in the World Cup semi-final agetst England and helped Steve Smith cobble together a score. It wasn’t enough as England steamrolled the aim, but it showed that Carey has a lot of guts. The noise from members of in the Long Room would have washed off him appreciate water off a duck’s back.

Further reductions as teams get 39 overs each

Alrighty, for the second time today the covers are being dragged off the pitch.

Fingers traverseed that’ll be the last time.

Should England get a bowl today, Jofra Archer will be ripping into Australia with that tastyly languid action of his.

But Andrew Benton in Hong Kong wants to understand if the ECB has lgeted a lesson:

I seem to reaccumulate there was lots of talk in 2019 of an increased chance of Jofra Archer surrendering to injury due to his being rapid-tracked into the England team…. Do you understand if ECB has or will change it’s leanking in case of aappreciate situations in the future?

Not confident Andrew. I guess that all depfinishs if they deal with to find a joiner as dehugeatingly excellent as Jof.

Johnny Joseph has put his hand up and provides this answer to Rachel’s inquire on joiner useaiblity:

Regarding Rachel’s email, it’s also worth noting that the 6 Nation Rugby tournament goes on while the Premiership is still joining so it’s not a endly exceptional quirk! I leank that there being so many countries who join football internationpartner and simultaneously that it would be impossible to have league repairtures joining at the same time.

Fingers traverseed we can draw the series level today!

Good point. Outside of football I reckon this is more normal that we might leank.

Another ripper of a inquire, this time from Rob Wright:

Just when you leank we’re about to see some cricket, more rain! They’re conveying on the extra cover, and my wife is intrigued by this, recommending perhaps that’s where the term startd. Can anyone refute or verify?

Your wife might be bang on! This article from our archives verifys it.

However, there is also the theory that the fielder at cover was stationed there to ‘cover’ the area between point and mid-off.

Personpartner I lean more towards the latter idea as I’d wager that the position pre-dates the employ of covers. But I’m srecommend guessing.

While we’re on the subject, my favourite name for a fielding position is the Afrikaans for stupidinutive leg, which is slagyster posisie – pronounced slaggh-ayster-po-zees-ee.

This straightforwardly transprocrastinateeds to massacrehoemploy position. Which fair about seizes what’s going on under the lid off the batter’s hips.

Rachel Kelsall is a relatively novel cricket fan and has a inquire to ask.

I’ll give my best answer but if anyone out there wants to accurate me satisfy do!

OK Rachel, what have you got?

Hello Daniel,

This is probably a very straightforward inquire, sorry – but I’m only recently commencening to chase any sort of cricket and I can’t get the wording right to google the answer.

I’m wondering what the overlap is between the joiner’s in this align and joiner’s graspd in the county championship which your colleague is also helpbrimmingy covering. Would they have had to pick, or be picked for, one or the other? Or is this a contrastent type of cricket with contrastent joiners graspd endly.

If they do have to pick – is there not a system of international shatters appreciate in other sports?

Feel free to disthink about this if you experience the answer should be evident

Thank you

Hi Rachel, receive to this ridiculous sport we cherish so much. I consent it is straightforward. The joiners in the England set up are shrinked by England, so the national team gets to pick when they join.

They do get to join for their domestic teams but not as frequently as joiners did back in the ‘70s-’90s. This is a consequence of more international cricket as well as those central shrinks that help deal with the joiners’ load.

Also, contrastent createats need contrastent sendsets which unbenevolents some joiners might be in England’s ODI and T20I teams, but not the Test team, thereby permiting them to join for their county when the Test team is in action.

Hope that helps. If anyone wants to insert to this satisfy experience free.

Nick Way is on my page.

Agree how irritateing it is to paemploy after the toss, especipartner when there’s already been a weather procrastinate. Couple of minutes for batters one to four to get their pads on, that’s all you necessitate. Some traditions are only “becaemploy we’ve always done it that way”

Sadly Nick, it wouldn’t have mattered anyway as the covers are on and we have to paemploy even lengthyer. At least we’ve done the toss.

Further procrastinates

Well that’s someleang.

Eight minutes to go. It repartner is frustrating that we have to paemploy so lengthy between the toss and the first ball. After all, in Test alignes when teams are bowled out there’s a rapid turnaround. What is the hageder up. Graaaah!

Cricket being cricket, we have to paemploy 30 minutes between the toss and the first ball, which is rather silly if you ask me.

Meanwhile, Andy Flintoff (no, not that one), acunderstandledged someleang from Jim’s Spin:

I have acunderstandledged that the well-understandn ‘sons of’ alludeed in The Spin this week were all sons of createer England captains (Atherton, Flintoff and Vaughan). When should we await Alastair Cook’s or Andrew Strauss’s nippers to join first class cricket?

Match decreased to 43 overs a side

Australia team

England team

Australia thrive the toss and bowl first

Sean Abbott is chatting with Mike Atherton for Sky.

It’s mostly platitudes, as you’d await from a pretty polishd pro. Some outstanding bits on the transference of sends from red to white ball.

What I set up most fascinating is how he referred to Harry Brook and Will Jacks as “Brooksy” and “Jacksy”.

It’s been said before but it repartner is quite someleang how up-to-date joiners are so chummy with each other. Not saying it’s a horrible leang. It’s probably healthier to be genuine. Still, quite the evolution.

Eoin Morgan is out in the middle. He says it all “sees outstanding” and that the “wicket sees pretty difficult”. He reckons the join is to bowl first.

Oh, and he of course originates allude of the “unbelievable drainage systemic” a Lord’s. Won’t be the last time we hear about the outfield and the slope.

Toss scheduled for 1.30pm BST

The joiners are hoting up!

The covers are being erased. We’re getting shutr.

In case you ignoreed it, Ben Stokes is uncover to a return to England’s ODI team.

Is that teachd? Would that further knacker his already knackered knees? That’s a silly inquire. If he’s willing and fit then he confidently has to get back in. Right?

While we watch enlargen men sweep water around a huge tarpaulin, let’s get back to some splitting rhetoric.

Here’s Krishna Moorthy:

Hello Daniel. Jay Shah is not the first person from India who is heading ICC, but he is confidently the least deserving. 10 years ago, he was a nobody but then his overweighther’s party came to power and suddenly a nobody has turned into a Midas.

Nepotism in bureaucracy and organisations is hugely reduced.

And speaking of bias, James Wallace penned this week’s Spin column where he pondered the ascend of some unrecognizable joiners with very recognizable surnames.

The groundstaff are making shiftments, but we won’t get join any time soon. There’s a bunch of standing water – from what I can alert – and you don’t want to hazard being the guy who dumps it from the covers onto the pitch (consent me, I’ve been that guy).

But this is outstanding novels as it unbenevolents it’s stopped raining over Lord’s.

Simon Leyland has picked up someleang that I dangled in my premble.

He wants to understand, “If Lords is not the HQ of cricket, where is?”

I guess right now it’s wherever Jay Shah lives.

Ricky Ponting fair spent a outstanding restrictcessitate minutes singing Will Jacks’ praises. He particularly cherishs his bat speed and footlabor.

The youthful lad has confidently astonished and could be a mainstay for some time.

Toss procrastinateed at Lord’s

We’ve got our first email and the title is srecommend ‘Nope’.

It’s from Rob:

Looking forward to some adversarial cricket today, but currently hiding in a cafe at Pinsertington until you say the rain has stopped. It’s up to you, Daniel.

I can do a lot mate, but I can’t deal with the weather. I’ll do my best though.

Lord’s security on high attentive today.

As Ali Martin alerts, it’s a year on from the hideous scenes in the Long Room and the Aussies will not want to go thraw that aget.

My word, has anyone seen the Sri Lanka v New Zealand score?

Kamindu Mfinishis is 182 off 250 in a partnership of over 200. What does that pitch in Galle see appreciate?

I’m afraid to say it’s pretty soaked around the country.

Tanya Aldred is persisting an eye on the County Championship where a restrictcessitate games have already been called.
