length ball, on middle, and uncomfortably pulled to deep midwicket. He wants a second run, and oh dear, he's run out! Australia win by 13 runs!
England vs Australia, at Southampton, WC Warm-up, May 25 2019 - Match Result

Time to join the captains
Aaron Finch: Our fielding was sloppy, not upto the standards we set ourselves. To get 300 was superb, Steve played an unbelievable knock. Overall, pretty happy. Wicket got slower and drier, Nathan Lyon bowled slower and bowled beautiful lengths. The wicket had something in it for everyone. Jason Behrendorff was impeccable with his new-ball bowling today. Can move the ball back in to right-handers, when you're challenging the stumps, it's a great asset to have. Just need to get two-in batters right towards the back half of the innings, just need to have our partnerships go deeper, and the fielding. Bowling overall was pretty good.
Jos Buttler: Some good work for some of the bowlers, good to see Plunkett take wickets, Stokes bowl a lot of overs. Lost a couple of lads to a few niggles, but we're in good shape. Dawson could've batted if it was a World Cup game but chose to rest him as a precautionary measure. The pitch was slower than some of the pitches we've played on before. It was still a good wickets, but didn't have the pace it normally has. Disappointing when you're feeling in good touch, we were in a position to win the game, disappointing when you get out.
Pleasing win for Australia, but England don't have any reason to fret. This is a contest we'll see a lot more of as the summer progresses. Steven Smith made a century, David Warner 43, while for England, Vince, Buttler and Woakes hit the high notes with the bat later in the evening. England had some anxious moments early in the day when Archer and Dawson triggered an injury scare. Wood too had to go off for a pre-cautionary scan, but we're told it's not too serious.
James Vince: It's a warm-up game, guys got something out of it. Wicket was two-paced, but managed to get few which was nice. Jos took all the pressure off, think he got 50 off 30 as the rate was climbing. Should've kept a few more wickets in the hut there. These warm-ups are - well, we were missing a couple of guys. Lack of couple of partnerships hurt us. All our injuries are minor, hopefully all good.
C-mant: "The happiest face, when Smith raised his bat for century, in the dugout was Warner... The fans conspiracy theory might just have failed.."
Ebbie: "Lot of pot stirring going on. Plenty of diggs at both sides "
Pranav: "Australia didnt have Starc or Maxwell so I dont think Morgan and Root are excuses"

Jofra Archer, batting for the first time in England colours. A shame it won't count in his ODI stats
Red Dirt: "...also worth remembering Australia are without Starc, Maxwell, Hazelwood, Cummins, too."
back of a length outside off, and Plunkett comes down the wicket. Tries to pull square, and the crowd roars as they think that it's going for a six, but wait, Maxwell is there in the deep! Pin-drop silence all of a sudden
Adarsh: "Never thought that we could see a situation where England bat out the 50 overs and fall short of a sub-300 target." -- Pressure, especially of a World Cup, makes you do funny things. But also worth mentioning that they were without Morgan and Root
length ball, outside off, and tries to cut. Mistimed to Smith at point, but he misfields allowing Rashid to take the second and Plunkett to take the strike for the final over
Tasmeem: "Warner hugged Smith when he took a stunner against New Zealand in the warmups. Sorry to rain on your parade, Sunil."

sunil: "even after both smith and warner returned didn't get a chance to see both of batting together also talking in the field. Is there any dispute between them. may harm australian chances" -- Mhhm, conspiracy theory fan?

Adil Rashid walks out. This is the first time we are seeing him. Didn't bowl, didn't field.
length ball, outside off, and Plunkett walks across to the off side to try and paddle. But he misses, and the ball rolls towards Stoinis. The bowler runs to the ball, picks it up, turns, and then sees Woakes halfway down the pitch trying to pinch a single. Stoinis takes aim and then throws the non-striker's stumps down. England lose their eighth, a useful 40 for Woakes

The crowd's getting into this game, now.
