00:00Beautiful shot, a fraction wide and he's just slapped it through the offside for the first
00:09boundary of the afternoon.
00:12Short, wide, punched off the back for the first boundary for Duckett.
00:23Inside edge and that is the challenge when you move your fine legs square up, don't get
00:29away with those.
00:31Driven, mid-on will give chase in vain.
00:39Right out the middle again from Duckett, you're winning.
00:45That's the first hit me ball they've bowled, too short and Duckett, a short man, just pulls
00:52it away.
00:53Down the pitch, short arm, jab, very good from Duckett.
01:04Once again, not a bad ball.
01:09And again, four more, short and Duckett has just pulled it away, excellent over for England,
01:1616 from it, 46 for none.
01:21Oh got him, Salt looking to give himself room, but has been cramped up by Dwarshus
01:29and Australia have their first.
01:36Said extra cover was Will Jacks' strength and of course hitting down towards the electronic
01:44scoreboard end, the pavilion end, it's a very short boundary at extra cover.
01:48On the ground, just over pitched ever so slightly from Zampa, it's not a big hit anywhere.
01:56Well he's hit that hard, not only has he hit that hard, he's hit it a long way in front
02:02of square, that's an exceptional shot from Ben Duckett.
02:07Might be 50, Duckett will scamper back for a couple, indeed it is, it's 50, better than
02:18the runner ball with six fours.
02:21Yeah well played Ben Duckett, accumulated nicely, picked his area.
02:32Misfield at extra cover, might run away for four, yes it does, just gets on to those practice
02:37pitches.
02:40Sparkling shot again from Ben Duckett but extra cover could have done better.
02:48Steve Smith takes a comfortable catch at extra cover, Adam Zampa, as per normal, comes in
02:55and gets a wicket and it's Will Jacks.
02:58Extra cover but it was just a fraction full and he couldn't get that bat underneath the
03:04ball to get the elevation.
03:07Steve Smith, excellent hands, Australia.
03:13Brook goes big, over the offside to the shorter boundary for a maximum, slightly over pitched
03:24from Matt Short.
03:25Meet off up inside the circle, makes it very easy to hit a shot like that, high quality
03:33from Brook but maybe just slightly the wrong line and length again from Matt Short, that's
03:39the second maximum we've seen in that.
03:44Oh that's a simple, simple catch.
03:48Duckett cannot believe what he's done, he looks down at the pitch in disgust and trudges
03:54off.
03:55Well done Labershain.
03:56Just held in the surface and went away from Duckett who tried to work it to mid-on, yeah
04:00there it was, just holed up, bottom half of the bat outside edge and the simplest of catches.
04:07The man with the golden touch, Labershain strikes and it's a big wicket, Duckett played beautifully.
04:15This is the response I was anticipating after that first over, Brook has now powered that
04:20leg side for six so a couple of fours, a six, not going to allow Labershain to have another
04:26over like he did with his first.
04:30Catch it.
04:32Got him.
04:33Well this is extraordinary and outstanding from Labershain, under enormous pressure.
04:40Maybe just held a fraction again, it's that same type delivery, it's that toss finish,
04:43it's holding on the seam.
04:46Another easy, straightforward catch.
04:50So if he wasn't going to sleep with one wicket.
04:52Outside the line.
04:55Short and this has gone high into the air and all the way for six for Jamie Smith.
05:04Such a big impact on the game.
05:08Well length is the same, execution not as gone, gone, easily taken from Connolly.
05:18Australia have their fifth.
05:23Well he might not be given the chance so this is high, Cam Green is circling, oh and he
05:29takes a very, very simple catch.
05:32Adam Zampa back into the attack and makes an immediate impact.
05:37Attack.
05:39Immediately advances and tries to hit him straight for six but just goes straight up.
05:44Oh and extremely high.
05:47There's a batter when you look down, probably the player on the field you don't want.
05:52That's gone a long way up again, it's long on again and it's gone again.
05:59Cameron Green.
06:01Two and two, same bowler, same fielder, Kass has gone.
06:05Significantly in that corner, one of the reasons no doubt that Australia want their tallest man there, Cameron Green.
06:12Because they're knowing when we'll try and take on that boundary, you've got to get it high to get it over Cameron Green.
06:21In the air, gone.
06:24Changes are working, another wicket for Labashane, another wicket for Australia.
06:29Figures now Labashane, three for 36.
06:32That thick outside edge giving backward point.
06:36Simple catch, England's tail have got to get Bethel.
06:39This time, they manage to clear long on.
06:43Adam Zanford's last ball of the afternoon has been dispatched for six and the 300 comes up for England.
06:50304 for eight.
06:56Left side, short of boundary and that is all the way for six.
07:02Well the previous ball,
07:04did for Travis, he's trying to hide it.
07:09It's been edged and you're not going to catch up with that at Trent Bridge.
07:16Surely Bethel has to take the hole over here, hitting to the short of boundary, more experience, better batter.
07:24In the air, long off, taken.
07:33Gone straight up, it's been catching practice at Trent Bridge.
07:37And that is another catch in a deep and that is another wicket to spin.
07:41Gone straight up, it's been catching practice at Trent Bridge.
07:45And that is another catch in a deep and that is another wicket to spin.
07:50And that is an excellent fight back from Australia.
07:57Slashes one over deep gully.
08:00He's looking to hit that straight down the ground, but that late movement from Archer sent it away behind square.
08:05Smashed, that was really punished by Mitch Marsh, given width.
08:10This time by Archer, he really laced into this.
08:18Lovely from Marsh.
08:20It feels as though Potts is running in hard, hitting the pitch hard at a decent pace, but Marsh made that look very easy.
08:29That's what he's looking for.
08:30That's what he's looking for, but he hasn't got it.
08:32And Kass does the rest.
08:34You can see what Marsh was thinking, advance to Potts, hit him down the ground and then try and get him to drop his length and pull him over the short side.
08:46Oh no, almost.
08:49Kass it was, and he nearly pulled off an absolute stunner here, one handed.
08:54Excellent from Travis Head, over-pitched from Archer.
08:58It was so full though, he had to almost steer it with his bottom hand.
09:07Fine leg is up inside the circle, Adil Rashid.
09:11So once Travis Head gets some batting.
09:14Fine leg is up inside the circle, Adil Rashid.
09:18So once Travis Head gets some batting.
09:24Kass is just waiting expectantly out there.
09:27The very first ball that Smith received, he chipped.
09:33Gets this through extra cover.
09:35The field is set very square for Travis Head.
09:39Four more.
09:42No margin there if you give Travis Head.
09:47And a little flick leg side to the shorter boundary and all the way for six.
10:00That's a short ball and this time there's a top edge on it and it goes all the way for six.
10:05Six more.
10:06Thirteen from the over.
10:08Sixty for one.
10:13Can't bowl there, cannot bowl there.
10:16We just showed you that beehive of his scoring areas.
10:19That's right in the slot.
10:21He didn't even time it.
10:24Flicked.
10:26There's that flick he plays.
10:28This time it's along the ground.
10:30It's a boundary to end the over.
10:37Sitting back, waiting for it.
10:41What a shot that is.
10:42That wasn't that short.
10:44Brilliant from Smith.
10:49This time he gets it past short mid-wicket.
10:51He needed that.
10:59Catch it.
11:01Out.
11:03Liam Livingston takes the court and bowls Steve Smith.
11:07Throws his head to the ground.
11:09Leading edge by the look of it.
11:13He's gone over the top this time.
11:15And for six.
11:17Slightly over pitch from Adil Rashid.
11:22Big sweep.
11:23And a big appeal from England to give him.
11:26Alex Wolff, finger eventually raises.
11:28Cameron Green goes straight upstairs.
11:33Ball tracker coming up now.
11:34The original decision is out.
11:38Ball pitching outside.
11:39Impact is outside.
11:40Alex, you have to reverse your decision.
11:48Signals.
11:55A little short.
11:58Travis Head is so quick.
12:00Picks up length so quickly.
12:02And that was an effortless shot.
12:07Got him.
12:09That is a first wicket in one day internationals for Jacob Bethel.
12:13Bit quicker through the air.
12:14Bit flatter in trajectory.
12:16And beating Cameron Green on the cut.
12:23Close.
12:26Shake it ahead.
12:27Kumar Dharmasena.
12:31This looks very, very straight.
12:34Umpire Dharmasena to say not out.
12:36It was mighty close.
12:37And you could see why.
12:39Harry Brooks sent it upstairs for the moment.
12:44Lavashane now.
12:45In on the action.
12:46All the way for six.
12:52Full again.
12:53This has gone high.
12:54Mid on his up.
12:55And even if he was back.
12:58Could do nothing.
13:00Second six over from Lavashane.
13:02Taking a like into Livingston.
13:08And the change in the field.
13:10Square man on the sweep.
13:12Has been brought up.
13:13Long on went back.
13:19The sweep from Lavashane.
13:21Boundaries are flowing for him.
13:24Well, he went to go aerial.
13:26And caught the inside edge.
13:28And the value of runs here at Trent Bridge.
13:34Ahead goes high.
13:35And to the shortest side of the ground.
13:37And all the way for six.
13:49And a few more around the corner.
13:52And a few more at that.
13:53I can't imagine Marinus Lavashane will back down either.
14:01Brilliant.
14:02From Lavashane.
14:04Slowed up by Rashid.
14:06Picks the length beautifully.
14:09And that has proved to be the case.
14:10As Travis Head.
14:12Nonchalantly.
14:14Skips down the pitch.
14:16Hits for strikes.
14:17A straight six.
14:18And raises his bat.
14:20To celebrate 150.
14:21It's been a quite magnificent exhibition.
14:27And a hard swept four to completely over.
14:29England looking demoralized here.
14:33310 for three.
14:34Australia on the brink of.
14:41And that will do it.
14:42An absolutely comprehensive victory here for Australia.
14:47Dynamic and deadly.
14:48Travis Head.
14:49He finishes unbeaten on 154.
14:51Marinus Lavashane who has had a quite magnificent all-round game.
