00:00here the plan very similar from Jax bouncing down ever so slightly to the
00:08leg side to allow him to access through the offside. Brook went square
00:18Edgerton just passed the diving first slip and away for four
00:25Cameron Green is there and he can cover such a lot of ground that was just
00:30asking too much
00:3454 for two
00:38just been hammering away on a good length Abbott Cameron Green can't get
00:44there wingspan many others are genuine second slip might have got there I think
00:55so give us a better look yeah possibly to the right of second slip
01:02bottom hand comes into that quickly well that's brilliant
01:07oh is it brilliant it was a fantastic effort Matt Short has come launching
01:14himself around to his right hand side
01:19he's just failed to pull it back but it was fully committed well straight off
01:26the bat there was a big cheer from the crowd what this was for immediately
01:31Short gave it a chance
01:36oh he's leapt onto that and he's picked that length so quickly it wasn't that
01:41short there's that bottom hand coming in again so the over starts with the
01:45boundary ends with the boundary 62 for two
01:52brings up the 50 partnership between Jacks and Brook just 61 balls both have
01:58played really well Hazelwood's accuracy is on point it's pace a touchdown it's
02:07just allows Harry Brook
02:11long way across and he's managed to work the angle to get that away for four down
02:17to fine leg it's one of those where the bowler says don't miss that
02:20batsman says well I didn't got four yeah Abbott down on his haunches
02:29so close yet so far away this is that you walk but it's calculated from Jacks
02:38knows exactly what Abbott is trying to target
02:47beautiful beautiful cover drive
02:52finds the gap finds the boundary
02:57we've seen some good driving today that's a good cover drive as we've seen
03:02cross scene from Hardy it's right in the slot beautiful release of the hands
03:08back face going perfectly through the line of the ball target the thigh pad
03:21interesting shot that is a really good shot with mid on back he decided to go
03:27over wide mid-off not the easiest shot to play Brook has played it really well
03:36that's just understanding the field there knowing that meet offs up knowing
03:41there's a huge gap from backward point all the way around to long on pitched up
03:50not over mid-off really controlled shot by Will Jacks excellent batting yeah
03:59good clarity in the mind there as well from Jacks understanding the field
04:02basically saying okay if this is pitched up he's gonna hit it straight back
04:05through the line over mid-off line was okay he's actually come a little bit
04:11inside out on that to get the gap that he was after
04:21full wide and belted into the crowd from Harry Brook hundred up for England
04:30it's a great shot but it's very much a loose nut from short tossed up slow and
04:37wide and full but the full treatment over long off beautiful clean strike
04:50nudged leg side he'll get one and come back for two half century for the
05:02stand-in England captain he's played beautifully it's 450 in one day
05:07international cricket job not done he'll know that but it's a great start
05:14yes super knock so far coming in good time to just 54 deliveries leg side be
05:26two that takes world jacks to his fourth half century in this format in just ten
05:31matches it was a very good start for 50s in 10 matches and again job not done but
05:38well played yeah very well played so far off it's five overs more jacks meets
05:49him with a boundary straight down the ground you can see immediately the
05:55tactic of England batters the first two deliveries of an over they look for
05:59boundaries the moment that happens usually those overs tend to go over 10
06:04even perhaps 12 takes the pressure right off the batters and puts it
06:09straight and firmly back in the ball is caught
06:16he did and he got enticed to the boundary wonderful batting from world
06:25jacks almost like he was expecting the short ball could pick his gap in front
06:31of square brilliant acceleration almost waiting for it he was on to it so
06:37quickly and that's the key isn't it when you're bowling a bumpers to it it's got
06:41to be a proper one high in the air but again over mid-off and we'll go to the
06:51boundary 19 runs from the over from Mitchell starts come back we'll move on
06:59to a hundred and thirty six for two
07:03brilliant attacking batting from the two England batters they pick star one of the
07:13two senior bowlers along with Hazlewood and then put him to the sword
07:20Australia would not have expected start to be taken on in this fashion but it's
07:26back away too far what you can't do is bowl there down the leg side with fine
07:35leg up and deep square just in front there's a huge gap there that's a very
07:41poor delivery and much rather Australia bring the mid-off into the set along off
07:46into mid-off in the circle have your square leg down so you can ball at the
07:51stumps the batters give themselves some room you have more options which is the
07:55quality of this partnership the scoop comes and it's very successful
08:01wonderfully played
08:09but making a futile gesture to try and get his square leg even finer but
08:14doesn't matter with that much of a gap on that leg side in traditional fine leg
08:20and the square fine leg always in the air pulled away just in front of square
08:29and a one bounce for continuing continue to find the boundary at ease
08:38it looks all too easy for the batters out there batting tremendously well
08:47anything short anything wide anything full at this moment in time
08:55Jax has gone big and all the way that's a brilliant shot this has been the
09:02problem for Sean Abbott his bumpers haven't been real bumpers at all not
09:08high just sitting up to be hit and he's been hit well in front of square well in
09:13front of mid-wicket in fact and just look at the follow-through the extension
09:17and the power behind that absolutely brilliant on that back foot
09:25Australia when they've gone for the bouncer you're right it's not it's gone
09:31in the air to third man and out the plan has worked Sean Abbott takes the catch
09:38at third man Cam Green celebrates with delight and Will Jax has found the only
09:44fielder out on the boundary on the offside they're really well set plan for
09:48the first time in about eight overs the Australians had a plan a definite plan
09:53go short and set the field for it they went short earlier in previous overs
09:58without the right field
10:08you
