Australia vs England, 2nd Match, Pool A at Melbourne, Feb 14 2015 - Ball by Ball Commentary

full and straight on middle and leg, Taylor looks for a flick and seems to have almost fallen over. Big appeal from the bowler, umpire Dar thinks and then gives it. Taylor immediately reviews it and it appears the ball might be skating down leg. Century still on the cards, it would seem. Funnily though, Aaron Finch had come up and started shaking hands with Taylor thinking the match was done. But wait, Dharmasena was checking for the run-out as the batsmen were looking to sneak a leg bye and it appears Maxwell has found his target to leave Anderson short of his ground. But how can that be considering Dar had given it out lbw and that means the ball should be dead, right? The question is, was he run out before the umpire's finger came up or was it after.... Taylor keeps telling it is dead ball, repeating it over and over, but Australia are already shaking hands and the umpires confirm that Anderson is indeed run out

Warner torpedoes himself towards the ball that had lobbed up from Anderson's leading edge. Terrific short ball from Hazlewood, but he

goes short, Taylor goes for a pull and it lobs over the keeper for a single to long leg. It is leg-byes though, so he remains on 98

full and on off stump, Taylor tries to slice it through the covers. But can't quite manage it

runs down the track and hammers a shortish ball to the left of mid-on. Marsh is the man cutting across, but he misfields and gives away a boundary

good length ball outside off and Anderson stays alive for another over. Meanwhile, Starc's gone down, and stretches his left leg

fuller delivery outside off, Anderson pushes with an angled bat and beats the lone slip in place

fuller delivery on off stump, defended

almost! Anderson had jumped down the track while making room and manages an inside edge to a yorker. Seems to be a bump ball as Haddin leaps to his right to cling on

short and a shade wide of off stump, Anderson attempts a feeble cut and is beaten

back of a length on off stump, tapped into the leg side

tip-top short ball at 143 kph, Taylor weaves inside the line and survives. But can Anderson?

slower ball outside off, Taylor moves across and heaves it to long leg

he's taken a bit of a hit there while trying to pull a short, 143 kph delivery. No run as the ball sneaks towards point

slower ball outside off, Taylor tries to slice it towards third man but it dribbles through after pitching and puts both him and the keeper off

runs down and slaps a good length ball at cover

that's a touch short and wide, Anderson taps it to deep third man

another one in the blockhole and it's somehow been sliced away past the keeper and into the third man boundary

Bailey leaps after it, sticks out his right hand and almost had a hold of it! Propelled himself off the turf to try and end the innings but he just can't quite manage it. Beautiful lines and lengths from Starc, yorker after yorker after yorker

full and on the base of middle and leg, whipped to deep square leg
