41.2 -

37.1 -
J Pattinson to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, shot! Such a delightful hit that from the England skipper. Full and outside off stump, Morgan leans forward and drives all along the ground through cover, sweeper cover runs to his left but it beats him comfortably
36.4 -
Hastings to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, edgedddd but safe. Lucky for Morgan that it didn't go to hand. No one at slip, it was a shortish slower delivery, Morgan goes for the cut, gets a thick edge that goes past the diving Matthew Wade to the third man boundary
36.2 -
Hastings to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, oh that's nicely done by Morgan. Nothing wrong with the delivery, length just outside off stump, Morgan allows the ball to come, watches it nicely onto the bat and just opens the face at the last moment to run it fine past the keeper to the third man boundary
35.4 -
Mitchell Marsh to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, stand and deliver stuff from the England skipper, full and in the slot, Morgan uses his hands to reach it and smashes it over Bairstow, no chance for long-off
34.0 -
Mitchell Marsh to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, cracking shot! Marsh goes short and wide outside off, Morgan reaches for the cut, places it to the right of backward point and doesn't bother to run. Second time in as many overs, Marsh has conceded a four off the last ball
32.0 -
Mitchell Marsh to Stokes, FOUR, that ruins a good over. Too full and too straight from Marsh, Stokes walks across his sticks, gets inside the line and clips it behind square leg, no chance for the fielder in the deep
29.5 -
Stoinis to Stokes, FOUR, that is the boundary they were looking for. Short of a length around off, Stokes is quick to rock back and pull it over mid-wicket, there was a fielder in the deep, but he was square
27.2 -
Stoinis to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, not convincing, but effective. Another short delivery from Stoinis, Morgan was aiming to go over mid-wicket with the pull, instead flat-bats it over the bowler, mid-on was inside the ring and his chase goes in vain
25.0 -
J Pattinson to Stokes, FOUR, third boundary of the over and it was the best of the lot. Pitched up close to off, Stokes presents the full face of the bat and drives, the timed it beautifully and placed it straight down the ground
24.4 -
J Pattinson to Stokes, FOUR, second boundary of the over. Poor delivery and deserved the treatment. Well down the leg-side, Stokes swivels and helps it along the way, no chance for the fielder in the deep
24.2 -
J Pattinson to Stokes, FOUR, peach! Stokes had no clue about that, short of length and climbs up on Stokes, who was squared up and the outside edge flies through the vacant slip region. Third man was square and couldn't get there in time
23.0 -
Maxwell to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, fabulous shot! Morgan slowly starting to switch gears. Flighted outside off, Morgan drives through extra cover, sweeper tries to get around and stop it, but can't. Good over for England, 13 runs came off it
17.5 -
Mitchell Marsh to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, "catch" shouted Marsh, but it was over Maxi at backward point. There were two fielders in the point region, Morgan went chasing at a wide delivery, slashed it in the air and cleared Maxwell, sweeper was square and had no chance of stopping that
13.5 -
Mitchell Marsh to James Taylor, FOUR, lovely shot from Taylor! This was pitched up and right in the slot, Taylor leans forward and drives it to the right of mid-off, who had no chance of stopping that. Runs away to the fence in a jiffy

Hastings to Jason Roy, FOUR, up and over mid-off! This was a length ball just outside off, Roy comes forward and lofts it through the line, the ball bounces twice before it hits the fence
8.5 -

J Pattinson to Jason Roy, FOUR, on a length and outside off, Roy shuffles across and heaves it over mid-on, one bounce and the ball rams into the camera by the rope as well

6.0 -
Hastings to Jason Roy, FOUR, lucky for Roy! On a good length and just outside off, Roy once again was lured to go for the drive, he goes hard at it, gets an inside edge that rolls away past the leg stump and runs away fine. He is lucky that he didn't drag it back onto the stumps
5.5 -

4.5 -

48.2 -
Hastings to Willey, SIX, in the airrrrr and he's muscled that. What a way to finish the game! This is an excellent run chase from England and they've now squared the series 2-2, with one game to go. Slower ball right in the slot, Willey waits for the ball and hits it a long way back over long-on
44.4 -
J Pattinson to Plunkett, SIX, wowwwww! What a timely hit! Full and on the stumps, Plunkett muscles it high into the sky and sends it deep into the crowd beyond the long-on boundary
42.1 -
Maxwell to Moeen Ali, SIX, taken by the fielder, oh he steps on the rope. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Moeen Ali gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps it hard, it went flat to Burns at deep mid-wicket, Burns took it above his head, but the momentum was taking him back and he stepped on the rope, he takes a tumble and looks very disappointed
41.4 -
P Cummins to Bairstow, no ball, SIX, full toss, helped away all the way for six and it's a no-ball for height as well. This was well above waist height, Bairstow sends it over backward square leg, the fielder in the deep was interested for a moment but it sailed well above his head. Free-hit coming up
34.5 -
Hastings to Eoin Morgan, SIX, that is out of the ground. Some connection that was from Morgan. He charges down the wicket, converts it into a length delivery, swings through the line and clears the long-on fence. That landed on the roof. To get such power even with the back leg in the air, terrific!
22.3 -
Maxwell to Eoin Morgan, SIX, massive! England needed that as the pressure was being built. Morgan doesn't look at the ball, he knew that he had connected. Flighted on the stumps, Morgan kneels down and slog sweeps it over deep mid-wicket
45.1 -
P Cummins to Plunkett, out Caught by Maxwell!! If his catch to dismiss Morgan was great, this is spectacular. My word! He was so cool under pressure, despite being so close to the rope. Wicket number four for Cummins. Good length delivery on the stumps, Plunkett goes for a slog and mistimes it completely, it went high up in the air, Maxwell jumped at deep mid-wicket and reverse-cupped it, but he was too close and was falling back, he released the ball before he stepped beyond the rope, then recovered quickly, ensured that his feet were off the ground and grabbed it again with his left hand before jumping back in. He made it look so easy there. Pretty needless shot from Plunkett. Is there a twist in the tale? Plunkett c Maxwell b P Cummins 17(10) [4s-2 6s-1]
42.4 -
Maxwell to Bairstow, out Caught by Wade!! England lose another set batsman. Flighted delivery outside off stump, it was very full to reverse-sweep, but Bairstow goes for it and gloves it to the keeper. There was a mark on Hot-Spot and a small spike on Real-Time Snicko as well. Australia reviewed and got the on-field call overturned. Bairstow c Wade b Maxwell 31(27) [4s-3 6s-1]
39.4 -
P Cummins to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by Maxwell!! What a catch by Glenn Maxwell at backward point. Needed something special to dismiss Morgan and Maxwell has taken a stunner. The crowd acknowledges Morgan's effort and gives him a standing ovation as if he's made a double-hundred in a Test match. Full and outside off stump, Morgan reaches out and square-drives it hard, it looked as if it was heading for four, but Maxwell dives full length to his right and takes it horizontal to the ground with his right hand. End of an excellent knock from Morgan. Is this the wicket Australia needed to turn things around? Eoin Morgan c Maxwell b P Cummins 92(92) [4s-8 6s-2]
33.3 -
Mitchell Marsh to Stokes, out Bowled!! How many times does he do it? A partnership is going on, Marsh comes on and breaks it. He is delighted and runs straight to his skipper to celebrate. Stokes is disappointed with himself. An off-speed yorker aimed at the base of off-stump, Stokes is early into the shot, the ball sneaks under the bat and crashes into the off-pole. Stokes b Mitchell Marsh 41(54) [4s-5]
15.4 -
Mitchell Marsh to James Taylor, out Caught by Wade!! Third time in the series, Taylor falls for a score in the forties. It was not a wicket-taking delivery by any means, but Marsh and the Australians wouldn't mind it one bit. This was angling down the leg-side, Taylor comes across and looks to tickle it fine, gets enough bat on it but Wade flies to his left, extends his left-arm and takes a one-handed stunner. England are in a spot of bother here. Taylor walks back bearing a disappointed look on his face. James Taylor c Wade b Mitchell Marsh 41(42) [4s-8]
10.1 -
P Cummins to Jason Roy, out Caught by Finch!! Cummins comes back for his second spell and strikes first ball. The 72-run stand is broken. This was a scrambled seam delivery on a length and outside off, might have extracted some extra bounce as well. Roy was looking to drive, but checked his shot at the last moment. He ends up spooning it in the air and Finch at mid-off takes the simplest of catches. Jason Roy c Finch b P Cummins 36(33) [4s-7]
1.2 -
P Cummins to Hales, out Lbw!! Another beautiful ball from Cummins, yorker aiming at the base of the stumps, Hales can't dig it out and the ball catches him low on the pad. There was a loud appeal but umpire Dharmasena raised his finger after giving it a thought. The angle though could have taken it down leg, but Hales didn't go for the review. This is also the third time in five innings that Hales has gotten out to Cummins. Becoming quite the bunny there. Hales lbw b P Cummins 0(2)
