And Mo to captain, Denly in for Morgan.

Maybe that finger.

Slow going.

Mo not giving himself a bowl. Or JD.

Not sure if have given that mo wicket as out. I cant believe Smith can stay on his toes with weight going backwards and his foot not land unless it's resting on the boundary. Or he's literally bionic man

I think that is a very favourable loss for England.

Even missing the key men we are missing, Australia still nearly threw it away.

a lot of mistakes in the field, if the montage I've just watched is to be believed. I'll watch the full highlights later, but England looked sloppy. A case of after the Lord Mayors show, perhaps

Australia are not going to bowl 300 wides, so at some point the England players a going to have hit the ball

Handy score by the Aussies. Have to see if that slow knock from Mitch3 is a match winner or loser. He's on the spot.

While a look at the card suggests that England bowled reasonably tidily, it also looks as though they were helped quite a bit by Mitch3

It was the major innings in a total of just under 300, yet with a SR of 70odd, which feels unusual in this day and age

Woody might have been better off leaving him in

England starting slowly themselves.

Roy goes. Can't have had much practice.

Getting even slower.

Root. 1 off 11.

I guess England will try to target the 3 back up bowlers.

BBC- second lowest score at ten overs since 2009. Haze 6-3-10-2.
