0.5 Anderson to Finch, 2 runs, dropped by Woakes, was it? Was he the man at midwicket? Yep. It was the inswinger, slid in full and on middle, Finch goes for a flick and forgets to keep it down. Woakes leaps up and has to get the reverse cups going over his head, and fluffs it! That was simple, by international standards
7.3 Broad to Warner, OUT, searing in at Warner and his stumps are toppled! It was the cross-seamer, like the previous ball, only it still manages to swing. Beats him for pace, beats him for movement and sends him back. Big strike for England, and what was the length?
DA Warner b Broad 22 (34m 18b 3x4 0x6) SR: 122.22
30.1 Finn to Finch, FOUR, that's it! Leaps up and punches the air as Finch becomes the fourth Australian to get a century on World Cup debut with a flick to long leg. His home crowd, a big and loud and raucous crowd, show him lots of love. Lovely little stroke to get to the mark too. Epitomises the kind of innings he's played, aware of things and not just trusting his power
49.6 Finn to Johnson, OUT, at-trick for Finn, and a five- for! That's a third time a bowler has been two-in-two today and Finn is the only one to convert. It was back of a length, Johnson backed away and slapped it straight at mid-off. Has a wry smile on his face and the reason is that Australia have piled up 342!
MG Johnson c Anderson b Finn 0 (3m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
13.4 Marsh to Bell, OUT, speaking of Mitches... This was a slower, length ball and Bell has decided it had to go. Got onto the front foot and slogged it quite well. Only he forgot to calculate for Starc lurking on the midwicket boundary there
IR Bell c Starc b Marsh 36 (63m 45b 4x4 0x6) SR: 80.00
13.5 Marsh to Root, OUT, two in two! And Marsh is sure pulling his weight! Becomes the fourth man on a hat-trick today as he gets Root to top-edge a short ball that Haddin tracks down around fine leg
JE Root c †Haddin b Marsh 5 (20m 12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 41.66
