CWC19: England V Australia

[Foley]

11 for 2 after 3 overs.
Hanscombe saved by umpires call.
Great start to the game. Breathless.

 

[Northstandboy]

What a start, 2 wickets and a unsuccessful review!

 

[Gary Baldi]

Edgbaston is buzzing today - nice to see impartiality is out of the window

 

[Foley]

10-2 and I'm going to be doing little at work today

It could be all over by lunchtime ??

 

[Sarge]

ambitious review ... not out , worth a review IMO as it puts the batsmen under pressure, with both openers gone

 

[Northstandboy]

Nothing like the roar from the crowd at a cricket game!

 

[Gary Baldi]

So far, England really are on it today. Aggressive and on plan...

Edgbaston is buzzing today - nice to see impartiality is out of the window

Just a shame that there are so many empty seats.
Hopefully it will fill up during the day

Got to keep the foot on the throat. If the Aussies can survive a few overs and get used to the conditions, they could loosen up. It happened at Lords as the early overs against them saw a series of near misses for Warner and Finch.

Keep right on them and the intensity up.

 

[Sarge]

5 overs bowled 13-2 ... dont let Smith settle , & get him out quick , c'mon England

 

[Foley]

Wow 14 for 3.

 

[unification]

Just like that!

14-3

 

[Essexyellows]

BOOOOOM! 14 - 3 !

 

[Foley]

The big wicket next.
Smith and Carey in. Get one of these out quickly and we could roll them over.

 

[Leysboy]

Amazing start for England. Woakes and Archer bowling in tandem is a thing of beauty. World class bowling, ever since that first ball of the innings.

14/3 brilliant

 

[Sarge]

loving the semi final so far ... get sandpaper Smith & Carey out quick next

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Next wicket so so important. Get it soon and AUS are in trouble

 

[unification]

Carey has been great this tournament. A really classy player. Smith won’t be ruffled by this either.

Still work to do. Remember the Aussies got themselves out of a hole against the Windies. And Starc gets to bowl on this later too!

 

[Foley]

Archers bouncer is nasty.
Carey could easily have been out there.
