10th Match, Group A: England v Australia at Birmingham

Australia 277/9 (50.0 ov)
England 33/2 (5.2 ov)

The square has been covered now, which suggests a reasonably heavy shower. Remember, if Australia suffer their third straight washout, it would be Bangladesh who go through to the semi-finals, as they have won a game (wins being the initial tie-breaker between teams on the same points). Steven Smith's team need to get another 14 overs in - and taking a couple more wickets, for good measure - to have a chance of qualifying. Since there was already rain forecast from around 5pm

The Sky commentators are on the outfield, umbrellas up - but it looks pretty windy, so hopefully that will help blows the clouds through.

121 - 3 after 18 overs

Partnership 86 runs, 12.2 overs, RR: 6.97 (Morgan 34, Stokes 52)

Starc to Stokes, SIX, tonked beyond the rope at deep backward square, that's his fifty!

England flying, as are Bangladesh fans

Australia need wickets quick, or they're finished. 109 needed from 23 with 7 wkts in hand. Stokes and Morgan both in brutal mood

170 - 3 after 27

Partnership 135 runs, 21.2 overs, RR: 6.32 (Morgan 59, Stokes 75)

108 runs off 23 overs required.

Modern One Day cricket almost feels like watching a net session. Once the batsmen get on top there's just nothing the bowlers can do get gain back control other than wait for a mistake

Stokes & Morgan motor on - England now need 101 off 22 overs to knock Australia out

England require another 94 runs with  21 overs remaining

and 7 wickets in hand.
