Highlights, England vs Australia, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Match, Full Cricket Score: Finch, Behrendorff star in Australia's 64-run win

Australia’s last four matches against England in ICC ODI World Cups:

Won, Lord’s, 2019*
Won, Melbourne, 2015
Won, North Sound, 2007
Won, Port Elizabeth, 2003

Australia win by 64 runs! 

At the halfway stage of the game, it looked Australia didn’t have enough on the board, but eversince the second ball of the chase by Jason Behrendorff that cannoned into James Vince’s middle stump, it was all Australia. Behrendorff with a five-wicket haul, Mitchell Starc claimed four and dismantled England. Ben Stokes gave a brief hope but Starc doused it with an absolute jaffa. England now in real danger of falling behind in the race of semi-final

ALL OUT! Adil Rashid becomes the last wicket to fall. Starc pitches this full on the off stump, he once again tries to dig the delivery to carve it away on the off side. It is a little too full this time around and he is unable to get the desired elevation. He lofts it to man at extra cover and that’s that.

Australian bowlers with a five-wicket haul against England in ICC ODI World Cups:

Gary Gilmour, Leeds, 1975
Andy Bichel, Port Elizabeth, 2003
Mitchell Marsh, MCG, 2015
Jason Behrendorff, Lord’s, 2019*

After 44 overs,England 213/9 ( Adil Rashid 17 , Mark Wood 1)

Jofra Archer doesn’t hang around long enough, becoming the fifth wicket of Jason Behrendorff, who caps off a sensational day at work with a three-run over. He ends with superb figures of 10-0-44-5. Mark Wood is the last man in for England.

OUT! Five-wicket haul for Jason Behrendorff! What a day he is having at the Home of Cricket. He waves the white ball to the crowds. Archer does manage to get bat on ball and he even connects it decently too, but straight to the man at long off. Australia need one more.

After 43 overs,England 210/8 ( Adil Rashid 16 , Jofra Archer 1)

Another fantastic over from Mitchell Starc, he goes round the stumps to Rashid, who misses out on those low full, that go past his off stump a couple times. Starc was aiming for that perfect yorker, he doesn’t get it but neither does he concede too many runs. Only three from it.

After 42 overs,England 207/8 ( Adil Rashid 14 , Jofra Archer 0)

Another over, another wicket for Behrendorff and Australia. He is closing on a five-wicket haul and Australia marching towards a win. Rashid gets the boundary after Woakes is caught by the teamwork of Maxwell and Finch in the deep. England need 79 off 48 balls with two wickets in hand.

OUT! Another one! It was the slower delivery from Behrendorff, that was right in the slot as well, Woakes sits on his knee and slogs it to deep mid wicket, where Maxwell, right at the edge of the ropes, takes the catch, but as he fears that he is losing his balance he relays it to Aaron Finch, who is circling in the vicinity. Finch takes the catch, but it was Maxwell’s calm under pressure that created the chance. Fourth wicket for Behrendorff, England lose their eighth.

After 41 overs,England 200/7 ( Chris Woakes 25 , Adil Rashid 8)

Round of polite applause ring around the Lord’s as England’s 200 comes up but the end is perhaps inevitable. Rashid does smash a six down the ground but if he is able to hit at least five of those in next three overs, England might start believing. Also, the possibility of that happening is lower than India missing out to reach the semi-finals. Lyon’s over costs nine runs.

After 40 overs,England 191/7 ( Chris Woakes 23 , Adil Rashid 1)

Behrendorff comes into the attack and snuffs out the wicket of Moeen Ali, England’s slide continues. He struck a boundary before he edged it to Carey. England fans are devastated and have a good reason to be. Adil Rashid walks in at number 9.

OUT! Edged and taken! Mo Ali needs to start walking to the pavilion, Jason Behrendorff with a top notch delivery, pitched it right in the corridor of uncertainty. Hint of away movement after pitching and all Moeen can do is nick it to Carey

 Moeen Ali c Carey b Behrendorff 6(9)

After 39 overs,England 184/6 ( Chris Woakes 21 , Moeen Ali 2)

Mitchell Starc runs in to bowl his seventh over. He continues to clock close to 145 kmph. Woakes is able to take a single of the second ball, which is the only run that came from the over. England need 102 runs off 66 balls.

After 38 overs,England 183/6 ( Chris Woakes 20 , Moeen Ali 2)
 

Mooen Ali comes out to bat at number eight. England need a miracle and a half now to get back into this game. For now they have to be settled with six runs from Cummins’ over.

After 37 overs,England 178/6 ( Chris Woakes 18 , Moeen Ali 0)

Starc is called back into the attack. He has five overs remaining and will bowl five off the 14 oversremaining.The 50-run stand comes up for Stokes and Woakes, they do provide an outside chance for England but still it is tall task to overcome. ~This is it! Here’s where things start to get interesting.~ 

Starc has all but won the game for Australia with a screeching yorker to dismiss Ben Stokes.

Highest individual scores for England against Australia in an ODI World Cup match:

104 – Kevin Pietersen, North Sound, 2007
98* – James Taylor, Melbourne, 2015
89 – Ben Stokes, Lord’s, 2019*

OUT! BEN STOKES GONE! Mitchell Starc, you beauty! Straight and full, hits the base of the off stump and that’s perhaps the game for Australia. Hint of late inswing and that does the trick. Stokes is crestfallen, he drops his bat on the floor and kicks it in disgust.

 Stokes b Starc 89(115)

After 36 overs,England 173/5 ( Ben Stokes 88 , Chris Woakes 15)

Three fours in the over! Cummins has just had a nightmare over after conceding an unlucky 13 runs courtesy two fours from Stokes and one from Woakes. This must have eased England’s pressure.

After 35 overs,England 160/5 ( Ben Stokes 79 , Chris Woakes 11)

Lyon continues. Concedes just four runs off the over, as Woakes and Stokes score runs in singles this over. A much-needed over for Australia.

After 34 overs,England 156/5 ( Ben Stokes 77 , Chris Woakes 9)

Two fours in the over has given confidence back to the English duo of Stokes and Woakes. Nine runs off Cummins’ over as the hosts fight on.

After 33 overs,England 147/5 ( Ben Stokes 73 , Chris Woakes 4)

Just two runs off Lyon’s excellent over. Stokes tries to play the reverse sweep in the last ball of the over, but finds Warner at short third man who puts up a diving effort to save important runs.

After 32 overs,England 145/5 ( Ben Stokes 72 , Chris Woakes 3)

Stoinis delivers a much-needed over after drinks following the ‘Stoke-storm’ in the previous over. Just four runs off it, all coming in the form of singles.

After 31 overs,England 141/5 ( Ben Stokes 70 , Chris Woakes 1)

An expensive over from Maxwell, courtesy two back to back sixes from Stokes. He slams the first high over square boundary, while he plays the slog sweep for the next maximum. This is just the motivation England needed as the teams take a drinks break. 12 from Maxwell’s over.
