Second wicket down, and it's the fiftieth for Ben Stokes in ODI cricket. Finch skies one, and after haring around the covers like Benny Hill, Eoin Morgan finally positions himself underneath it and takes it safely. Aussies still have a platform for a big score, but that's a big wicket at a crucial time. Halfway through the innings, Australia 147-2.
Third wicket down! Moises Henriques tries to whack Deirdre out of the ground, but only toe-ends it to Plunkett at mid-on. Travis Head at the crease, England finally in business.
Fourth wicket down! That's a huge one for England as Smith gets himself out in near-identical fashion to Henriques. Wood the bowler this time, but Plunkett once again the safe pair of hands at mid-off as Smith balloons it to him. Australia 181-4 after thirty-three overs, Maxwell at the crease, England turning the screw.
