At least it's a fresh pitch so it shouldn't die like some of the tired old ones we've seen in this tournament so far.

Australia's best batsmen are at the top of the order. We need a few early wickets. A lot of pressure on Woakes and Archer .

 

[MrWoolley]

Much more confident when England are batting first, but anyway - come on the lads!

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Skybet offering 8/1 the first ball of the match is a single off the bat

 

[SE Spurs]

Obvious statement, but we NEED early wickets.

 

[Spurrific]

Lovely stuff

 

[wooderz]

Get the FUCK in

 

[Spurrific]

An okay start, sure

 

[wooderz]

Cheerio cheerio cheerio

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Love this third ump - doesnt mess around with ultraedge when it's clear the ball missed the bat

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Aussie's always get umpires call.

 

[McFlash]

Exciting start!

 

[fatpiranha]

Archer has been some find for England. Just looks so effortless when he is bowling fast.

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Does anyone else think that on 50-50 calls the ump might favour the team without a review? Just means any howlers can be undone.

Great start for us.

They've been showing the world cup at work, nearest tv is behind me but a bit annoying constantly turning around.

 

[tototoner]

get Smith out soon and this is all over

 

[Spurrific]

Want Smith out asap, great stuff so far

 

[wooderz]

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Australia's lowest ever ODI score was 70 against England here in !977 (and also against NZ in Adelaide in 1986).
