    Stonis trundled off the field with a look of disgust on his face but he was done by the slower ball.

  2. Michael Vaughan

    Stoinis hasn't taken his chance at number three. It was a slower ball and then a simple catch for the skipper. Stonis is spewing with that shot.

    WICKET

    Stoinis c Morgan b Woakes 4 (Aus 31-2)

    This is an absolutely rank dismissal.

    It's hard to describe how poor this ball is from Chris Woakes. It's an attempted slower ball, but it doesn't come out as desired, meaning it slides down the leg side. Marcus Stoinis' eyes light up and he attempts to clip it to the long boundary but a leading edge is spooned to Eoin Morgan at short mid-wicket.

    Soft doesn't cover it.

  4. dropped catch

    Stoinis dropped by Archer on 1

    Wow, that has travelled!

    It's pitched up from Chris Woakes and Marcus Stoinis absolutely pulverises a drive through the hands of Jofra Archer at mid-off. It's just above his head, and his hands get there, but it almost bursts through them.

    Should he do better there? It's a tough one.

    He's gone off to get some treatment for the time being anyway.

  5. Aus 27-1

    David Warner has at least survived one over of Jofra Archer. There's improvement there.

    I feel like you can always tell when Warner is ticking because he is loud. His calls are basically shouts. He's not far off that tonight.

  6. Aus 25-1

    Here we go - David Warner on strike to Jofra Archer. Can the left-hander survive? Archer has got him out every 11 balls on average in international cricket so far.

    That's a good confidence booster for Warner though as he leans on a drive that rockets to the fence.

  7. Aus 21-1

    Target 303

    Marcus Stoinis pats back Chris Woakes' delivery to end the over.

    That Aaron Finch wicket was crashing into the middle of middle/leg stump. It doesn't really get much more plumb than that.

    WICKET

    Finch lbw b Woakes 12 (Aus 21-1)

    Chris Woakes traps Australia captain Aaron Finch lbw for 12

    That is plumb!

    There's nothing too special about the delivery from Chris Woakes, there's maybe a bit of tail in, but Aaron Finch has effectively played around a straight one.

    That's a big wicket for England, though. The sooner they can get into the Australia middle order the bigger their chances of winning this game.

  9. Vaughan is right that England's fielding hasn't been as good as usual this summer.

    But we've just won a World Cup with a similar team. Ben Stokes would obviously improve standards tenfold but there's only Liam Plunkett who has dropped out. Something definitely isn't right, though.

  10. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on Test Match Special

    I've mentioned England's fielding a lot in this series - it's a real concern for me. When neither of them go for the catch, it's not good.

    England v Australia: Aaron Finch edges the ball through slips cordon for four

  11. Aus 18-0

    It is windy out there today. The trousers and jumpers of the England fielders is billowing in the wind. Every time the camera cuts to Eoin Morgan he looks more and more like that Friends episode where Joey puts all of Chandler's clothes on. He's up to two jumpers and two hats at the moment, I think he peaked at three on Sunday.

    It's a pretty poor first over from Jofra Archer though as Aaron Finch picks up an all-run four before plonking the quick back over his head for four.

    Wow! That's fortunate though. Finch flashes hard and a think edge flies in between Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root at first and second slip. That travelled to the fence.

  12. Aus 6-0

    Archer starts with two leg-side wides.

  13. Jofra Archer is going to take the new ball from the James Anderson End.

    That's the opposite end to where he did the damage on Sunday but the wind is going in the opposite direction today.

    Can he snaffle David Warner again?

  14. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on Test Match Special

    David Warner is calling loud and clear and running hard - he's really up for this.

  15. Aus 4-0

    Target 303

    Chris Woakes comes back well with five dot balls to end the over.

  16. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on Test Match Special

    Maybe David Warner is going to find his form just as he heads off for the IPL.

  17. Aus 4-0

    Chris Woakes gets us going and David Warner flicks him to the short boundary straight away.

    Warner must be mighty relieved that Jofra Archer didn't start at this end.

  18. Worth remembering that the highest run chase in an ODI at Emirates Old Trafford is 286.

  19. Thanks Stephan.

    This should be another cracker. Yes, Australia have a short boundary. But a chase of 300+ against the bowling of Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid and Tom Curran will not be easy.

  20. The players will soon be emerging for the last session of men's international cricket this summer. The series and England's long unbeaten home record is on the line. Callum Matthews will talk you through the first part of Australia's reply.
