11th over: England 40-2 (Knight 8, Sciver 0) No run, one wicket. That’s the way to start for Alana King.




Wicket! Winfield-Hill lbw King 24, England 40-2

Had to wait a long time for the review, but it was dismissed on the field and it remained as it is. King is lucky that he doesn’t turn the ball much at that time. He floats it down and pitches it over the off stump. LWH tries to do a lap-sweep but plays on top of it. The ball moves straight, and ball-tracking shows that it is nailing rather than crossing the stumps. Winfield-Hill makes another useful score without going big, which is a limit to what England has to offer.




10th over: England 40-1 (Winfield-Hill 24, Knight 8) The runs have started to come with Sutherland. Winfield-Hill gets a two and a through on the off side. Knight walks away through point and makes a fine save from King to keep him on the run for two. Then the knight adds four, edged through an empty hoop area for four. In the air.




9th over: England 30-1 (Winfield-Hill 21, Knight 2) Schutt ties Winfield-Hill to such an extent that when the batsman gets full length he throws his hands at it and drives through cover from the air. Four runs off, but that could have easily been a catch. There he goes to the right of the fielder. Keeping it on the ground, pulls the single to follow.




8th over: England 25-1 (Winfield-Hill 16, Knight 2) To bowl Sutherland, short and wide, Winfield-Hill leans back and carves it… and Haynes stops it at backward point. The batsman groans in desperation. But focuses again, takes a straight ball forward, and drives it through midwicket for four. nice shot. Strikes towards point, then the knight is beaten outside off.




7th over: England 20-1 (Winfield-Hill 11, Knight 2) Another very quiet over from Schutt, in which Winfield-Hill was driving a single but then Knight kept finding ground again and again.

6th over: England 19-1 (Winfield-Hill 10, Knight 2) Perry for Winfield-Hill, who can’t get through the field on the off side, and settles for a one-look single to end the over.

Updates




5th over: England 17-1 (Winfield-Hill 9, Knight 1) A couple of singles, Knight of the Mark, then Winfield-Hill gives in a shot through cover from Schutt for four.




Wicket! Beaumont c Healy b Perry 6, England 11-1

4th over: England 11-1 (Winfield-Hill 4) What a catch by Healy! Over starts good off-drive as Beaumont sees a full length off Perry, beats the ground down and dives to mid off. Perry replies with a good yorker that Beaumont can only block. Key point is wide, giving Perry a seventh delivery. And she uses it to hit a full-length, seam away, and seeing as Beaumont has to go on the ball defensively from that high backlift, her edge flies to Healy’s right. The keeper flies away, gets the ball into the webbing of the right glove, then tucks that hand inside so as not to release the ball from the blow, and uses his left hand to guide his fall and roll .




3rd over: England 6-0 (Winfield-Hill 4, Beaumont 2) Large inside edge from Beaumont, with his high backlift, was followed by an inward movement from Schutt, but it went past the leg stump. Then Schutt pins LWH to the front pad but it goes down the leg side.




2nd over: England 5-0 (Winfield-Hill 4, Beaumont 1) A very streamlined start from Perry, a tight line down the line that keeps Beaumont finding ground on either side of the wicket. Fifth ball is a full toss but Sutherland dives well at mid on and holds the score till one.




1st over: England 4-0 (Winfield-Hill 4, Beaumont 0) Megan Schutt lets us start, hovering over the swingers that are her trademark. LWH finds them hard to hit, but tries a pull shot against a slightly shorter length ball, and gets a big top edge behind square for four. Very lucky that Perry is ahead around fine leg and can’t reach there for the catch.




In other news related to England, their men’s U-19 team lost the World Cup to India before yesterday/today, depending where you are.




teams

No Katherine Brunt for England after her big workload in Tests and a stellar performance in the first ODI. Unclear information about pain in the armpit muscles. Similarly to Australia, young Darcy Brown is rested, as is Beth Mooney, who used to play with a broken jaw, but the medicos won’t let her play with tight quad muscles. Charlie Dean for England, Annabel Sutherland and Nicola Carey for Australia. If you include Alana King, who can strike the ball powerfully, she is a seven all-rounder for Australia. Cross seems to have got a deserved promotion on the current form in the batting order.

Australia will bowl after winning the toss

Coin favors Meg Lanning this time, and as Heather Knight had chosen in the first match, she would choose to pursue. There’s no floodlights or evening dew to contend with here, just the advantage of seeing how the pitch plays out and knowing how many to get.




Preface

Hello cricket friends. It’s a beautiful blue and golden day in the old Melbourne city, it’s early morning in terms of cricket, and we’re going to start the One Day International at the curious time of 10 AM.

England have missed the chance to win the Ashes, but have not lost the series yet. If he wins the last two matches, he will have eight points each, as he did in 2017.

However the series has been defined by Australians losing their nerve and English. The visitors should have been chasing runs in the first ODI but they broke down. They should have won the Test match with a bold start while chasing their runs there, but at the same time they were nervous. And he set a lofty target in the only T20 that didn’t rain, only to see Australia turn it down. So they have been competitive, but still haven’t won a game, with four of their points coming from a washout and that draw.

It’s time to see what both teams have left in the tank.
