Only 25 runs off the last five overs though. Doesn't look too bad. Unless the pitch is a real pig.

4 overs for 29 for rashid

That'll do for the day I think

Morgan set such a poor field it was impossible for him to get a few dot balls, singles everywhere

Will Maxwell counter attack? Doesnt seem to have many gears apart from flat out

Maxwell always seems to look streaky but get away with it against England.

Cummins and Starc are both fairly handy with the bat and can give it a tonk.

I think both sides will be happy with 230 from here.

Cummins is one of those scratchy batters lower down who in tests can be difficult to remove, but I cant see him blazing the ball around. Starc is certainly due a score, but another who hasnt consistently in ODIs looked more than a tailender....

Probably cursed England there

Grasping at straws if relying on cummins and starc.

Got to be hopping for anything over 200, which seems to be about 100 to short.....
