Australia battles to 227 in Cardiff World Breaking News Sport Sport Cricket September 14, 2013 - 11:46PM After a shaky start George Bailey's 87 steered Australia to a competitive first-innings total against England in the fourth one-day international at Cardiff. The Aussies were bowled out for 227 in the 49th over which was a reasonable result given they lost in-form opener Aaron Finch on the first legitimate ball of the match and Shane Watson a few overs later for just six. But it could have been a lot better for the tourists who'd fought back to be 5-209 with almost 10 overs to play. A late collapse, however, saw the Australians lose their last five wickets for just 18 runs in the space of 37 balls. Off-spinner James Tredwell was carted during his first spell of 0-48 but hit back in his second spell taking 3-5. Bailey's sterling innings of 87 off 91 balls means Australia could wrap up the series with a solid effort in the field. The tourists lead the five-match series 1-0 with one game to come in Southampton on Monday. Bailey smashed five fours and three sixes when recording his highest ODI score against England. The 31-year-old brought up his 1000th ODI run during his 27th innings. Coulter-Nile, 25, is a right-arm quick from Perth who can also bat. England kept the same team.
