Lovely how fast is this outfield? For four.

Bowled him absolute snorter.

England got 1^st wicket of David Warner goes for 6. Jofra Archer got first wicket of Australia innings

A little bit wider the crease from woakes. This is to the longest part of the ground. This is a new march fetching this bike.

That's a lovely shot controlled short ball aggressive ball.

Only one slip genuine edge there's no second slip no third slip and it beats the diving wood at third man for four.

Beats the diving morgan and the outfield is quick actually you see the bowlers run ups and it looks as though there's a fair bit of moisture there but it seems to be running across the outfield at a decently 43-1.

It's an edge and finch is not waiting for the finger so the change works immediately wood strikes. Yep archer doesn't get you wood will.

England got 2^nd wicket of Aaron Finch goes for 16. Mark Wood got 

them breakthrough

 

Beautiful shot from marnus absolutely gun barrel straight there hit it well enough. That is a beautiful way to strike your first boundary and bring up australia's 50.

Stoinis cuts and cuts in between the man at backward point. Jason, roy and billings who's in front of square for four. So another boundary he moves to 23.

Edged genuine edge but it will beat third man because of that and because of the pace that mark wood bowls at 88 miles an hour that delivery.

Strong shot down the ground a strong man, and that'll skip away for four excellent from marcus.

Fantastic from wood similar length to the dismissal of finch

Umpire voice “Ball tracking coming up now pitching outside off impacting line and hitting the wickets so stay with your original decision”

England got 4^th wicket of Marnus Labuschagne goes for 21. Adil Rashid got

Sure maxwell's got enough of it has he? Oh just enough a good effort on the fans, but just enough on it for six. Well, it's banton who's on the substitute fielder for bairstow.

Good shot from maxwell that's the maxwell we've come to know over the years power good shot.

Oh the reverse and he got him good shot from maxwell that reverse brings up the 50 partnership and maybe that shot will just give claire maxwell a bit of confidence.

This time he beats him this time, it's either side. It's in the gap. It's a good shot for Maxwell just getting into third gear. It's another welcome boundary for Australia.

Marsh goes to 50 a nice 50 and an important one in this game in the circumstances for Australia.

In to the left side that's going to take australia past 200 another boundary for mitch marsh 203 -5.

Maxwell targets that short leg side boundary that would be six on the other boundary that's a biggie.

And 50 for glenn maxwell coming good time to 43 deliveries did a couple of sixes and three fours.

Maxwell will be eyeing up midwicket cow corner wide mid-on. Like that with the wind shorter boundary that's very smart batting.

They're really going to target this over from archer this end it's clever, it's smart they're experienced batsman.

It's two leg side that might well go for six as well it's just a pick up pressure on archer here six followed by another six maxwell on the charge.

Oh dragged on dragged on great comeback from archer toward the bat the danger man maxwell's gone. Slow ball change up.

Sweepers should tidy up it's running away no, he doesn't tidy up. It's four.

A great shot down down the ground for four absolutely nailed by billings.

Oh up in the air that six that's all the way. Excellent from johnny bairstow.

In the air that catch they caught everything david warner and that's the end of sam billings, but it's the end of England.

Australia got 9^th wicket of Sam Billings goes for 118. Mitchell Marsh got them breakthrough

As australia come through wonderful bowling at the start of england's innings real discipline and pace accuracy. Three match series. Australia take the first one.

No group has ever pursued more than 250 at this ground and that record will remain flawless. Save an idea for Billings, was there till the end however couldn't take his group through. Regardless, he's played a jewel and even the Australian players value his endeavors. Britain began likewise like Australia in the pursuit losing their top-request right on time with Hazlewood making the batsmen move to his tunes. They slipped to 57-4 with Zampa joining the gathering also eliminating Morgan and Buttler in his initial two overs. Bairstow and Billings attempted to imitate Marsh and Maxwell for England as they rebooted the pursuit. Both battled at first however discovered their course once they were set. A 100 or more stand saw them make a turnaround however Australia returned firmly and once Zampa snuffed out Bairstow for 84, the hosts lost wickets in a rush and Billings was left pursuing a solitary fight. Regardless of batting till the last ball and arriving at his lady ODI ton, he was unable to assist his with joining cross the end goal.

That is a wrap undoubtedly. Australia have gotten a head-start in this ODI leg of their visit, would they be able to secure the arrangement on Sunday or will England stage a rebound and draw level? The truth will surface eventually.
