3rd ODI: England v Australia at Manchester

England 209/3 (34.1 ov)

Swann lecturing the current Aussies about the "Spirit of Cricket" is like Assad lecturing Cameron about human rights!

not WICB  and Mapoui's  Skameron....

Thought Moeen was gonna be moved up de order.

Hales need to break out !

39.2
Maxwell to Stokes, slogged high into the leg side and Finch positions himself safely under it at mid-on!

Stokes will obstruct the England innings no longer  ::LOL::

Stokes c Finch b Maxwell 14

England 271/4 (45.1 ov)

288- 7

100 to James Taylor

48.2
Cummins to Taylor, 1 run, full and driven back down the track it hits Woakes' bat and rebounds into the stumps...

Taylor is racing down the pitch regardless and he dives for his ground as Cumming tries to take a stump out of the ground!

That's it, he made it, a maiden ODI hundred for James Taylor  8)

49.2
Starc to Taylor, short of a length, tries to club down the ground... but can't clear mid-off! Taylor falls for 101,

Taylor c Agar b Starc 101

300 - 8 after 50 overs !

49.3
Starc to Woakes, SIX, clears the front leg and deposits the ball into the stands at deep midwicket!

Australia will have to bat out of their skins to chase down 301 here. On the other hand, if England bowl a long hop every over.
