NatWest Series [Australia in England] - 3rd ODI

England v Australia

England won by 1 wicket (with 5 balls remaining)

ODI no. 3003 | 2010 season
Played at Old Trafford, Manchester
27 June 2010 (50-over match)


Australia innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
SR Watson	c Strauss b Swann	61	107	76	5	2	80.26
26.6 52.6 mph, gone! Swann makes another breakthrough and Watson again can't convert...he tries to turn this into the leg side, it all looks quite innocuous, but some extra bounce meant he just lobs a simple catch to square leg 130/3
TD Paine†	lbw b Yardy	44	57	48	9	0	91.66
13.3 56.8 mph, that is absolutely plumb! Paine steps back for a flick through midwicket, but is beaten by the angle from wide of the crease and nailed right in front of middle. That's the breakthrough, and not before time from England's point of view 75/1
RT Ponting*	st †Kieswetter b Swann	3	17	16	0	0	18.75
18.2 51.9 mph, gone! Huge wicket for England and great work from Kieswetter as this one spins sharply down the leg side, beating Ponting as he comes down the pitch and the wicketkeeper brings the ball back from very wide with the Aussie captain stranded well out of his crease 93/2
MJ Clarke	c sub (IR Bell) b Swann	33	73	54	0	0	61.11
38.4 53.4 mph, oh dear, that was out from the moment he went through with the stroke. Done in the flight, and Clarke's uppish drive picks out the sub, Ian Bell, at long-off. 169/5
CL White	c Strauss b Swann	12	23	23	2	0	52.17
34.1 51.9 mph, swept, and snaffled at square leg! A full-blooded stroke, but Strauss scoops the ball low to his left, and that's a key wicket! 154/4
MEK Hussey	b Collingwood	21	25	21	3	0	100.00
40.2 58.6 mph, gone and another one departs...Collingwood strikes with an off cutter that scoots through on off stump and beats Hussey's push. That had been coming. 183/6
SPD Smith	lbw b Anderson	20	30	21	1	0	95.23
45.4 84.4 mph, another goes! Anderson gets his second as Smith goes for a sweep and is taken on the heel of his back foot which looked in line with leg stump 211/9
JR Hopes	b Anderson	7	13	11	0	0	63.63
43.6 75.4 mph, gone! Anderson strikes with a slower ball which was back of a length and makes Hopes play the pull far too early, resulting in an under edge onto off stump...now it's down to the bowlers 202/7
RJ Harris	c Strauss b Broad	1	3	2	0	0	50.00
44.5 87.1 mph, and that's why it's all short, because it works, as Harris splices an attempted pull and lobs a simple catch Strauss at midwicket who has been in the action today 207/8
DE Bollinger	b Anderson	3	6	3	0	0	100.00
45.6 86.0 mph, all over! Dead-eye yorker from Anderson as Bollinger backs away to try and go through the off side and the ball strikes bottom of middle. That is that. 212/10
SW Tait	not out	1	2	1	0	0	100.00

England innings (target: 213 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
AJ Strauss*	c †Paine b Harris	87	182	121	8	0	71.90
42.5 88.1 mph, gone...no century for Strauss as he drives slightly flat-footed outside off and gets a thick edge low to Tim Paine 189/5
C Kieswetter†	b Tait	0	2	1	0	0	0.00
0.4 93.5 mph, now there's no answer to that! Stunning delivery, a late-swinging yorker, and Kieswetter's middle stump is out of the ground! 1/1
KP Pietersen	c & b Tait	25	55	36	5	0	69.44
12.5 92.7 mph, caught and bowled! That was sharp reactions as Pietersen drove hard back at the bowler's face. And he got his right palm in the way just in time ... game on, perhaps? 52/2
PD Collingwood	b Bollinger	40	61	61	1	1	65.57
30.1 83.4 mph, Gone! The change works immediately as Collingwood pushes with no great certainty outside off and chops the ball onto his stumps. It was on a length, wobbling around just outside off and he just pushed his bat at it without conviction. 128/3
EJG Morgan	c Ponting b Smith	27	49	35	2	1	77.14
41.4 53.6 mph, well, out of nowhere really Morgan has given his innings away rather tame pull to midwicket...soft way to go, but it shouldn't make a difference to the result 185/4
MH Yardy	c †Paine b Tait	8	14	10	1	0	80.00
44.5 89.7 mph, but wickets are an issue! Yardy goes as he chases a full one outside off and gets a thin edge through to Paine. Game on. He hit the ground at the same time, but certainly bat there too 197/7
LJ Wright	c Hopes b Smith	0	2	3	0	0	0.00
43.3 52.3 mph, gone! Well that's a brainless shot from Wright as he tries to clear long off and ends up just giving simple catch to James Hopes. England making it hard work for themselves 190/6
TT Bresnan	not out	14	30	15	2	0	93.33

GP Swann	b Bollinger	1	10	10	0	0	10.00
47.1 85.6 mph, GONE! What drama, Bollinger from around the wicket gets one through Swann's defence and crashes into middle stump 203/8
SCJ Broad	b Bollinger	0	3	5	0	0	0.00
47.6 84.3 mph, GONE...stunning stuff from Bollinger as he spears a great yorker through Broad who didn't really look like he had a clue out there today 203/9
