ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Today's match is the biggy.
England v Australia from Lords

Weather may be an issue........

England won the toss and were delighted to ask Australia to bat

Expect the D/L method will be in use.....

Come on England

Roy is a big loss to England. Where is Hales when you need him? Of course having posted this, I will now see Vince play an impressive innings today.

285 for 7 off 50 overs.

To sum up. At the start England bowled too short on a seaming track. When they did get it right all the edges flew everywhere except to a fielder.
England weren't at their best in the field. But their bowlers did manage to restrict the Australian scoring rate.

Australia finished with a lot less than they were threatening to get. At 173/2 after 32 overs they looked set for a much bigger total than 285.

Jason Roy's return can't come quick enough.

Oh dear....
