AUS beat ENG by 3 wickets | Australia vs England, Highlights And Cricket Score 4th ODI Match - Commentary

Pat Cummins is caught up on the sidelines by Mark Taylor. The seamer says that due to the rain earlier in the afternoon, they got good conditions to bowl on at the start. He is pleased with his performance with the ball. Admits that they looked on improving over the first two games and is glad that they did well. Further adds that today was one of those days where things came well for you. Opines that when the opposition is down, it sounds easy to knock them over quickly but the tail often wags in such situations. Credits Chris Woakes for his innings. States he has no qualms in being the first change bowler when Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood take the new ball from either ends. Reckons batting normally should get his side home. Ends stating that Head can do well in Finch's absence, which shouldn't hurt his side.

Pat Cummins easily was the star of the show. He ran amok with his new ball partner Josh Hazlewood and decimated England. Together, they hunted down seven wickets between them, while Andrew Tye picked the remaining ones towards the end. This pitch looks like a batting beauty, however the scoreline at the start didn't do justice to that. The way Chris Woakes and Tom Curran batted, the indications were there of this being a track excellent for stroke making. Let's see how Australia approach their chase as the low targets are often tricky to get. Do join us in a short while.

The visiting side further raised two fifty partnerships, in which, Chris Woakes played a big hand. He, by far, was the best batsman on show for the tourists, stroking yet another half century and giving England something to bowl at. Tom Curran also played a useful hand, scoring 35 runs, which also is the highest score by an English number 10 since January 2006.

Have to say, it's been a great recovery from England. They were down and out very early in their innings after losing half their batting unit for only 8 runs. The deadly duo of Hazlewood and Cummins did all the damage initially and made a complete mockery of the English top order. The hosts did relax a bit after that and England managed a half century stand between Moeen Ali and Eoin Morgan to bring sanity amidst the storm.

Andrew Tye to Tom Curran. OUT! ENGLAND BOWLED OUT FOR 196 RUNS with 31 balls remaining. The knuckle ball does the business for Tye. He delivers it pinpoint on middle and Curran mistimes his flick shot straight into the hands of Mitchell Marsh at short mid-wicket. He makes no mistake and that's all ladies and gentlemen from England with the bat.

Andrew Tye to Tom Curran. FOUR! Another fine shot by the number 10. He makes room for this one as it lands on a fuller length around off. After that he unfurls a lovely cover drive for a boundary. Vital runs, these.

Andrew Tye to Tom Curran. Shortish on middle, helped to mid-wicket.

Andrew Tye to Tom Curran. Curran has played that off the front foot and into the ground.

Andrew Tye to Tom Curran. SIX! Curran has quietly played a little gem here for England. He senses the slower one coming at him early and shapes for the pull shot. As soon as the ball reaches to him, he pulls it with no mercy over mid-wicket. Half a dozen results.

Adam Zampa to Tom Curran. DROPPED BY ZAMPA! The little man jumps in his followthrough to grab the return catch but fails. A mistimed shot by Curran flies straight back at him, he tries his best but it goes behind after brushing his left hand. They cross.

Andrew Tye to Chris Woakes. OUT! End of an outstanding knock! Woakes departs after failing to read the slower ball by Tye. It's served to him on a shortish length wide outside off and he tries to go downtown. However, due to the lack of pace, he is a bit early into the shot and his bat turns in his hands. As a result, he fails to get proper connection and Maxwell (sub) runs across to his left from long on to complete the catch safely. Rise and applaud for this knock by the English all-rounder when the chips were down. He has given something to bowl at for England. Let's see how much Mark Wood contributes to the cause.

Adam Zampa to Chris Woakes. SIX! Misjudgement from Tye. Proves helpful for Woakes, who completes 1000 ODI runs. Tossed up around off, Woakes gets down and plays the slog sweep.

Andrew Tye to Tom Curran. Stays on the back foot and punches it to covers.

Pat Cummins to Chris Woakes. Fifer for Cummins? Noooooo.... Paine has not gone for the catch. He should have. That was never going to carry to first slip. Poor Pat, but what a performance by him in Starc's absence. Coming to the delivery, it's on a length and outside off, Woakes pokes inside the line and gets a fat outside edge behind.

Pat Cummins to Adil Rashid. OUT! 100th international catch for Tim Paine! It looks a bit strange knowing that as Tim Paine is not a regular face in the Aussie setup. Cummins delivers it on a length outside off, Rashid pushes at it away from his body and edges it behind. A simple catch to the keeper. A half-hearted attempt really by the leggie. Should have done better. Cutting bags a 4-fer, his best bowling figures in ODIs.

Andrew Tye to Moeen Ali. OUT! Head holds his head and takes a smart catch. Tye strikes to remove the bearded man. He lets out a short ball on middle, Moeen fails to resist the temptation to pull it and goes for it. Makes good connection and it seems to be sailing over the ropes. But no, the elevation is not quite there and it finds Travis Head at deep square leg with precision. He grabs the catch near the fence, realizes that the momentum is pushing him beyond the rope and tosses the ball up. Takes a step back to cross the rope and then comes back to catch the ball easily. The umpire takes that upstairs to check the validity of the catch along with the front foot no ball, but everything is fine and Moeen has to return to the pavilion. A crucial stand is broken immediately after it crosses 50, just like the previous one.

Andrew Tye to Chris Woakes. Played to the point region by the batsman. No run.

Andrew Tye to Chris Woakes. Four? Nopes. It's a couple. Another beautifully timed shot by Chris, although it was aerial. He drives it over covers and Head in the deep runs across to his right to stop the ball. He does so with a slide near the fence and the umpire wants to check it upstairs. It seems touch and go but the third umpire has given the benefit of doubt to the fielding team.

Josh Hazlewood to Chris Woakes. FOUR! He is batting in different zone! Timing, placement, balance, this shot had it all. Woakes just leans into a full delivery around off and creams it through the gap at covers. Motoring along and also showing that it's a batting beauty in Adelaide. The scoreline doesn't do justice though.

Adam Zampa to Chris Woakes. Driven through mid off by the batsman. They pick up a single.

Adam Zampa to Chris Woakes. Prods to a full ball and drives it through extra cover for a couple.

Adam Zampa to Chris Woakes. SIX! He has nailed it! With mid on up, this is a safe shot too. Zampa dishes out a loopy full ball on off, Woakes kneels and powers it over long on for a maximum. Woakes wowing for England again. Yet to be dismissed in the series, informs my ever-alert colleague.

Josh Hazlewood to Chris Woakes. FOUR! It was in the air but found the gap... Hazlewood put that on a fuller length outside off, Woakes got forward and drove it with beautiful timing. It was aerial but through the gap between mid off and extra cover. Good placement, I doubt he intended it though.

Chris Woakes is the next batter in. He is on the back of a wonderfully-played half century. A similar outing would please his side to no end.

Pat Cummins to Eoin Morgan. OUT! Pat Cummins breaks the 53-run association. Morgan and his troubles with the short balls continue. Banged short around leg, he is caught unawares. Still decides to go with the pull and only manages a glove to the keeper. Paine has another dismissal to his credit, his 99th in international cricket. Further analysis by the on-air commentators show that the English skipper's initial trigger movement didn't help his cause either. He has a small movement backward before coming forward and hence is caught in a tangle here. Nevertheless, England back to being in mushy waters, if ever you thought they were out of it.

Pat Cummins to Eoin Morgan. Length ball on the stumps, defended from the crease.

Pat Cummins to Eoin Morgan. Fuller on middle, defended from the crease.

Sorry, sorry, says Morgan as he backs away pretty late due to some disturbances behind the sightscreen. Initially it seemed as if he lining himself up for playing a shot backing away. But someone decided to stroll behind the bowler's arm causing inconvenience to the batter.

Adam Zampa to Moeen Ali. This one is driven towards point. A slight confusion about the running but no harm done.

Adam Zampa to Eoin Morgan. Flatter on the pads, worked away through square leg for one.

Adam Zampa is brought into the attack.

Pat Cummins to Eoin Morgan. A touch shorter, pulled through mid-wicket to retain strike.

Mitchell Marsh to Moeen Ali. This ball is flicked away off his pads for one.

Mitchell Marsh to Eoin Morgan. Good morning, Hazlewood! What was he doing there? Morgan looks to pull this short length ball but is hurried into it. Ends up getting it towards mid-wicket. Josh seems to have given this up well before he tried as he just ambled to his left from mid on and the ball wasn't too far from him. Remember, he isn't the best of the lot on the field as the memories of a dolly being dropped in the Ashes come back.

Mitchell Marsh to Eoin Morgan. Bowled outside off, cut towards backward point.

Travis Head to Moeen Ali. Ali comes down the track to this ball around off and stonewalls it.

Drinks time! No doubt who is ruling the roost an hour into the game. Australia came out all guns blazing, pinning England down to 8/5, before being helped by the current pair to get to where they have now. It is imperative for England to have a phase where they do not let any further wicket fall, in order to frustrate the opposition and have their own way.

Andrew Tye to Moeen Ali. FOUR! One brings two, they say, for a wicket. Seems true in this case for a boundary. After all the raves and rants for 14 overs about no boundaries being hit, we have two in this over and both from the 'out-of-form' Ali's blade. Tye bowls this short around middle, Moeen stays back and pulls it through mid-wicket. This stand is now worth 27.

Mitchell Marsh to Moeen Ali. The batsman defends it from within the crease.

Morgan has danced down the track, tried to drive from the crease and tried what not to score. Yet he is out there batting on 14 from 36. That's what the on-air commentators observed. He hasn't looked steady yet is fortunate enough to be in the middle. One school of thought says that he should calm down, defend well and play himself in before going for his shots. The other one says that, if you stand and try to defend, there will eventually be a ball with your name on it. Thus, it is better to attack your way out. What to do?

Mitchell Marsh to Eoin Morgan. Eoin plays it with soft hands to the off side and gets across to the other end.

Andrew Tye to Moeen Ali. Length ball on the pads to start off, Ali tucks it smartly through backward square leg and gets to the other end.

Mitchell Marsh to Eoin Morgan. Begins with a ball on a length around off and middle, defended down the ground.

Mitchell Marsh is brought into the attack now. Interesting choice from Smith, as he feels he has a control over the proceedings and hence hands the ball to Marsh, who can be your fourth or fifth or even sixth bowler. Today, he is brought ahead of Andrew Tye.

Time for Powerplay 2. A maximum of four fielders can be outside the inner circle till the 40th over.

Pat Cummins to Eoin Morgan. Excellent effort from Warner to keep England without a boundary at the end of the first Powerplay. This one is nicely punched past mid off, from where David chases this down and saves a run for his side.

Josh Hazlewood to Eoin Morgan. Strong appeal, turned down. Length ball around leg, striking Morgan on the pads as he looks to flick it. The appeal is turned down as the ball seems to be pitching outside leg. Also, Morgan signaled that he had hit it.

Pat Cummins to Moeen Ali. This is outside off, left alone.

Pat Cummins to Moeen Ali. Banged short on the stumps, Ali ducks.

Pat Cummins to Moeen Ali. Outside off, left alone.

Pat Cummins to Eoin Morgan. This is punched through covers for one.

Josh Hazlewood to Eoin Morgan. Didn't imagine myself writing this anytime but here it is. ENGLAND REACH DOUBLE FIGURES! Applause! Not in a commanding way though. Short in length, Morgan is hurried into the pull. Ends up getting it aerially in front of square for one. Wonderful start from the Aussie seamers. Who needs Starc when these two can do what they are doing now! No boundaries yet, 7 overs gone. ODI match.

Josh Hazlewood to Moeen Ali. Ali gets off the mark. A consolation for him, considering 4 batters have got out for ducks. He flicks it through mid-wicket to get to the other end.

Josh Hazlewood to Moeen Ali. This is well outside off, left alone.

Josh Hazlewood to Moeen Ali. Beaten! Length ball slanting away, Ali hops and hangs his bat out, is fortunate that the ball passed without making contact with the blade.

Moeen Ali walks in next. He's not in the best of forms and by the looks of it, this isn't a situation that such a batter would like.

Josh Hazlewood to Jos Buttler. OUT! Are we watching an Australia-England game or an Australia-minnows game? Half the English side is back in the dugout without even getting to double digits. Test-match bowling says Michael Clarke on air. On a length just around off, nibbling away just a touch. Buttler did no wrong there by standing back and hanging his bat in defense. The ball moves away to grab the thin outer edge and goes straight to Paine behind. Such is the quality of the delivery that as a batsman, you just have to laud it and walk away and that's precisely what Jos does. England in trouble? Understatement.

Josh Hazlewood to Jos Buttler. Straight delivery outside off, Buttler gets his bat out of the way and lets it be.

Jos Buttler, the centurion of the previous match, is out in the middle at number 6.

Pat Cummins to Joe Root. OUT! The scorecard shows 6/4. Guess the runs and the wickets yourself. What are the visitors upto here? Short ball around off and middle, Root goes for the pull instinctively. Is not in control and ends up getting a top edge. Hazlewood at fine leg just has to take a couple of steps forward and settles under it before gobbling it up. Looking at the way this is going, we could have this innings ending before the 15th over.

Pat Cummins to Joe Root. Fuller on off, dead-batted towards covers.

Pat Cummins to Joe Root. Around off, defended towards point.

The skipper Eoin Morgan certainly wouldn't have dreamt of batting as soon as in the 5th over. Here he is, taking strike against a firing Josh.

Josh Hazlewood to Jonny Bairstow. OUT! Another one gone! England, where are you? Well, New England, where art thou? Hazlewood bowls it full and outside off. Just a hint of movement away. Bairstow goes for the cover drive without any footwork and pays the price. A thick outside edge is found and the ball settles in nicely in Paine's gloves. Jonny departs for a 9-ball duck. National Day and the hosts are well and truly running in with pride.

Joe Root finds himself in the middle earlier than he would have anticipated and liked.

Pat Cummins to Alex Hales. OUT! Jaffa! That's what this delivery is. England rocked back early. Cummins steams in and spears in a full length delivery slanting in. Hales is beaten for pace as his bat is late in getting down. Time and tide wait for no man and so does a pacy delivery. This ball doesn't wait for the bat to come down and goes to hit Hales' front pad and deflects onto the off stick. Doesn't help being an opener when you are walking back early even after coming in one drop. Even if he wouldn't have been bowled, LBW was a certainty. This is the fourth time Pat has got Alex, the most the batter is dismissed by anybody. Start all the bunny talks...

Pat Cummins to Alex Hales. Around good length in the line just around off, driven back to the left of the bowler.

Josh Hazlewood to Jonny Bairstow. Outside off, Jonny finds backward point with this defensive push. Hazlewood is keeping it nice and tight.

Pat Cummins to Jonny Bairstow. Roy got one on the pads in his first ball and here's Bairstow getting the same. On a length, it moved in after pitching, past the inside edge of Jonny's defensive bat and onto his front leg. A wicket next up?

Pat Cummins to Alex Hales. Very full around middle, Alex gets it off the inner half through mid-wicket for one.

Pat Cummins to Alex Hales. On a length around off and middle, Hales stands tall and defends it with a straight bat.

Josh Hazlewood to Alex Hales. Fuller outside off, moves away a bit. Hales shoulders arms.

Alex Hales walks in to face the third ball of the innings. Helps being an opener, as this is as good as that task.

Josh Hazlewood to Jason Roy. OUT! Happy Australia Day, indeed! This is a shot of a man in form, says my colleague Praky. Full and outside off, Roy goes to drive at it. Plays away from the body and that's the error that he did. Ends up hitting it straight into Steven Smith's lap at backward point. The reason of the comment of my mate here, is that someone not in touch wouldn't have played this one so early in the innings. Good early strike for Australia, fifth nought for Jason in his ODI career.

Josh Hazlewood to Jason Roy. How's an appeal to start the day? Hazlewood lands it on a length around middle, angling in. Roy gets forward lazily to flick but misses to get struck high on the front pad. A stifled appeal, not really a forcible one, turned down. Height could be an issue.

How's the feeling as an opener when you get to know that you don't have to contend with a certain Mitchell Starc? Relief? Confidence? Bliss? Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow will show us that with the way they will play. Out they come with the wooden thing in hand, that starts with a B, ends with a T and has an A somewhere in between. Josh Hazlewood will jog in with the first new white rounded object in hand. Two slips wait in anticipation. Here we go...

TOSS - Australia have got the coin to spin their way and they WILL BOWL FIRST. A couple of changes for the home team. Travis Head and Andrew Tye come in, in place of Aaron Finch and Mitchell Starc. For England, the sole change is that of Tom Curran replacing the injured Liam Plunkett.

Australia have lost only once out of five times when they have played on Australian Day against England at this venue. A nice positive stat, right? Alas, stats and history count for very little in sport! Injury for a player of either sides means that there will be at least one forced change. Aaron Finch is ruled out for the hosts while Liam Plunkett is out for the tourists. Who'll take their spots? Let's find out that and the outcome of the toss in a bit. Stay tuned.

Ever heard about returning the favour? England have done just that. Swept away 4-0 in Tests, they hold the cards in the ODIs by being three to nothing at the moment. Once a series is lost, talks rise about 'playing for pride'. Is there pride left, though, after getting defeated? We'll let you figure that out. For now, it's good to have you cricket freaks with us for our coverage of the fourth game of this 50-over match series on this Australian Day between Australia and England to be played at the Adelaide Oval.
