England vs Australia Match Stats

Fuller length outside off. Carey gets ahead with a prod and pushes it to mid off.

Short of a good length, this is cut square towards deep point for another run.

Length ball outside off. Abbott opens the bat face and steers it to deep third for a single.

Half-tracker angling down the leg. Alex Carey misses the flick on the inside edge. It goes off his pads to long leg for two leg byes.

In-beween length, outside off. Carey punches it to mid off.

Potts bowls a good length ball outside off. Carey gets on his toes and punches it to deep point for a single.

Full, on middle, Alex Carey flicks it straight to short mid-wicket.

Goes back now and dabs it towards fine leg for a single.

A massively-spinning googly, outside off, comes back in a long way, Sean Abbott looks to cut but is cramped for room and gets a bottom edge.

And again. Another wrong 'un, Abbott is just not able to pick him and dabs the ball down the pitch again.

Now comes the leg spinner. This is another massive turn, from outside off. So big is the turn that even the keeper misses it and first slip fumbles.

Quicker one, outside off, pushed towards the off side.

On a good length, just outside off, Alex Carey pushes inside the line and gets beaten.

This is at the stumps, on a length, Carey dabs it towards short mid-wicket.

Fuller, around off, Alex drives it towards Ben Duckett at mid off and calls for a quick single. Duckett takes his eyes off the ball and it goes through, allowing the single to be completed.

Has to be Abbott's best shot of the night but as luck would have it, it is met with an equally good fielding response. Very full, around off, Sean Abbott whips it through mid on but Liam Livingstone dives to his right and makes a superb stop.

SIX! PUMMELED! Shades of the shots from Abbott's 34-ball century in the 2023 Vitality Blast. That had come at The Oval, which is also in London, not too far from here. A length ball, outside off, Sean Abbott just plays a Martin Guptillesque shot, not looking at the ball and flicking it over mid-wicket. High and handsome it goes, into the stands.

OUT! CAUGHT. And that is the end of that. Potts keeps it full again, outside off and this time, Abbott just tries to chip it over the infield. There is no attempt to heave but there is no power on the flick either. The shot is more or less the same, a no-look one but the ball just travels in the air. Not enough distance as Liam Livingstone rushes across to his right from mid on and completes the formalities. Pott's figures read 7-1-38-2.

Full, around leg stump, Alex Carey works this through mid-wicket for a single.

Around middle, a touch flatter, flicked straight to short mid-wicket.

A full toss now, on middle, Mitchell Starc whips it through mid-wicket. The ball races across the turf but so does Phil Salt to his left at deep mid-wicket. He dives and saves a certain boundary, keeping the batters to a couple. Excellent commitment, even at this stage, when the game looks dead and buried. The hosts have been brilliant on the field tonight.

On a good length, around off, punched towards mid off.

Fuller, around off, well kept out.

Around off, the googly, punched towards cover.

OUT! LBW! Wonderful review from England and Potts has his third! On a good length, outside off, Alex Carey looked to whip it through the leg side but missed as the ball darted back in. Potts appealed but the umpire turned it down. Initially it looked high to the naked eye, but one or two England fielders, probably from the slip cordon, told Harry Brook that it did not look that high. Brook agreed and decided to take the review and sure enough, Ball Tracker projected it to be hitting the top of leg stump! No heroics for Carey tonight as he goes for an unlucky 13. POTTS IS ON A HATTRICK!

No hattrick for Potts. Very full, around off, Adam Zampa digs it out.

OUT! CAUGHT! Two in the over for Potts and he now has four as Zampa lasts 2 balls. A short ball, outside off, Adam Zampa looks to hoick it over the leg side but he is in no position to play that shot. The extra bounce does him in and he only manages to spoon it straight up in the air. Liam Livingstone runs a yard or so to his right to take his second catch of the evening. England a wicket away from levelling the series.

The wobbly seam from Potts, around off, coming in with the angle from around the wicket, Josh Hazlewood stays leg side of the ball and plays inside the line, getting beaten. On its way to the keeper, the ball wobbles a bit.

Around off, good bounce, Hazlewood is unable to rise with the bounce but somehow fends it towards the slips, on the bounce. 

Outside off, pushed towards point to end a DOUBLE-WICKET MAIDEN! Sensational figures for Matthew Potts as he finishes his job with figures of 8-2-38-4. Unfortunately for him, he cannot get a 5-fer. 

A full toss, around middle, Mitchell Starc whips it through mid-wicket and oh wow - does not take the single. He does want to take on the leggie. If there is anything in his slot, watch out for that slog sweep over mid-wicket.

3 WIDES. Massive turn but misdirected. Rashid bowls it too full down the leg side, Starc looks to sweep but misses. Initially, Starc says wait but then, when he sees that the ball has gone far, starts to run and completes a couple. 

Around off, punched towards mid off.

The googly, short in length, outside off, Starc spoons a cut over point for a single.

OUT! BOWLED! It also brings up the 50th wicket in ODIs for Adil Rashid against Australia. It is a straighter one, around leg stump, a tad short, which stays low as well. Josh Hazlewood rocks back to pull but is defeated by the lack of bounce and the ball hits the leg stump. ENGLAND WIN BY 186 RUNS AND LEVEL THE SERIES 2-2!
