This has the makings of a decent partnership so far, they've been sensible early on and are keeping us in the game for now but we really can't afford any mistakes now and at some point in the next 10 overs we need to start thinking about the scoring rate.

And thats about that.

Can't see Moeen getting any runs.

Well done Buttler, that’s the game.

yep, probably done, I won't blame Buttler though really, he's only marginally out on that shot for me and it took a very good catch. We're also at the point where we did need to take a few more risks, this game will be lost on the 4 early wickets, Morgan and Bairstow in particular seemed to just lose their heads.

Head saying the same, but heart saying that if Stokes can go big, there might still be enough to chip in around him.  Looking increasingly unlikely though.

If England had 6-7 wickets in hand we'd win from here, the ball is doing very little now, it's why it was so poor to give away cheap wickets early on, that was always going to be the most dangerous part of the reply and we're fluffed it.

Can’t deal with those. Well played Ben, you’ve been let down by your team mates again.

Brilliant delivery to be honest, not much Stokes could do about that one. Is does look like we're just going to fall short but can't fault Stokes, he's done a great job at keeping us in the game, now lets see if Moeen can put in a performance that has been eluding him. We all know that this is long batting line up but we need them to step up and show they can save a game.

Only absolutely top number 1,2 or 3 batsmen can  cope with that sort of delivery.

Apart from Stokes, we've been comprehensively outplayed in every single department.

Gutless performance Stokes aside.

Bowled really poorly for the first half of their innings, and in turn showed the Aussies precisely the length to bowl.

Then poor shots from the middle order when we couldn't afford to lose a wicket.

Feel this slump is irreversable now. We have been paralysed by the pressure and its only going to get worse

Unable to chase a target again. Can't handle pressure.
