It's the much-publicised pre-series handshake. © Getty England go 1-0 up with 7-wicket win It may not have been as easy as it should have been, and perhaps that had little to do with the Edinburgh shock but England nevertheless complete the chase of 214 with six overs and three wickets to spare. David Willey remains unbeaten on 35. Much to ponder for Australia although Tim Paine will be glad that his bowlers didn't simply roll over and surrender the game. Much work needs to be done with the bat! Summing it up... Moeen Ali falls... If England don't win this.... let's not go there. No... let's. Moeen Ali, who vowed to be true to himself post the Edinburgh misstep, plays a pull shot and holes out at deep mid-wicket. Just 18 runs to go. Three wickets in hand. We shouldn't have reached here. Yet here we are. Some moments later Australia are still in this. It looked a walk in the park for the hosts and then in a matter of minutes Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler and Joe Root have all fallen. England still in the driver's seat. Why? Because they bat till 11! That's why. At Drinks England are cruising. They were in a little trouble but this partnership is now 58 and England are cruising. Just another 119 runs to win. Easy from here? The boundaries, they keep coming If there's a ball to be hit to the boundary, an England batsman will hit it. But with the ODI captain (Morgan) and the Test captain (Root) out in the middle, the shot-making is a little more judicious. But the boundaries hit, through the cover region, have been top draw. Three down now And there's a wicket for Kane Richardson as well. Bairstow picks the bones out of this short ball but finds the man stationed in the deep. 38/3 in the eighth over. What's the hurry England? Bang, bang and out On one side Jonny Bairstow just keeps finding the middle of the bat with unbelievable consistency and then on the other Alex Hales misses a straight ball to get LBW. A wicket maiden for the debutant Michael Neser. What a start! England in a hurry but should be wary of losing more wickets here. Stanlake strikes early Duck for Roy. Scrambled seam delivery from Stanlake, that jags back in at pace. Roy is late to get his bat down. The ball ricochetts off his bat to crash into the stumps. Abject Australia fold for 214 It's another forgettable batting performance from the Aussies. They fold with over three-overs to spare. Barring that 84-run stand between Maxwell and Agar, no other Australian batsman showed any gumption to hang in there. England's spinners - Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid - picked up five wickets between themselves and broke the Aussie spine. It's a good surface here at The Oval. Australia will need nothing short of a miracle to defend this. Late wickets cripple Australia Australia continue to slide post the Maxwell-Agar partnership. Rashid removes Agar, who misses an attempted sweep. Then debutant Michael Neser falls cheaply attempting a lofted shot off Plunkett. Australia have gone past 200, but this is a 330 pitch! Plunkett ends dangerous stand How many runs will this cost Australia? Maxwell was needed to bat through, instead he has holed out to long leg. It seems like a trap, a length ball on leg stump that Maxwell swats away without reconsideration. Jonny Bairstow is waiting over there. Gobbles up the catch. Maxwell gone for 62! 16th ODI 50 for Maxwell It's taken 18 months but Maxwell finally has an ODI 50. He'd been woefully out of form through the IPL and the warm-ups here. But he's played an excellent innings here. Props to Agar too for hanging in there. This is a good wicket, Australia need Maxwell to bat through. Maxwell gets into the gear Don't die wondering. The good part is Maxwell's looked very busy ever since he came on. He doesn't let Moeen finish with outstanding figures, still 3 for 43 is great. But 14 came off the last over as Maxwell picked up two fours and a six. Joe Root has conceded another six and so we have a mini-Maxwell counterpunch. Oops. Sorry guys. Why should Moeen have all the fun? Rashid gets Stoinis to edge one to keeper Buttler. Sigh. After a six off Moeen in the last over, there was hope that perhaps Stoinis might lead Australia's riposte. Not to be. It's down to Maxwell and Agar now. Now a third for Mo Questionable tactics from Australia's skipper Tim Paine. A slip moves to short mid-on and Paine sees that as an invitation to play a reverse sweep. Does so and finds short third-man to a nicety. 70/4 now in 16.1. Make of that what you will! Two in two for Moeen Australia are three down inside the 11th over. The other kinda-set batsman, Shaun Marsh, has now departed. Playing inside the line and losing his off stump. Moeen making up with the ball for his misstep in Edinburgh? Spin is in Moeen is on first up. And het gets Finch off the fourth ball. Bowls it slower, gets some drift. Finch wants to go big over the top. A thickish outside edge takes the ball to short third-man. Poor shot. 47/2 in the 9th over! Marcus Stoinis in at 4! It's cloudy but sunny, remarks Nasser Hussain on air About the perfect description of a general London summer's day. On another note, good couple of overs for England. The run-rate has been tucked back under 6, just for the time being. Marsh and Finch looking solid though. Boundaries, they keep on coming Shaun Marsh has picked up two through the covers and Finch is gobbling up anything fractionally overpitched.<doc-sep>ENG vs AUS, 2nd ODI – Match Prediction: Who will win the match, England or Australia? Will Australia's batsmen play the spinners better? England have already taken the lead by winning the first match of the series by 3 wickets and it is the visitors who have to make a move now. Australia bowled well the other day but the score of 214 runs posted by their batsmen was not enough to defend in the modern-day game. They will have to bat well and improve their technique against the spinners to put up a fight. However, it will not be easy for them to go past this strong England unit which is tough to beat at home. Tim Paine would feel gutted about the fact that they didn’t make the use of a fresh pitch at Kennington Oval in London. He would be hoping that the batsmen including him make amends for their earlier effort and put up a good show. England, on the other hand, were not convincing with the bat either and lost 7 wickets to chase down the meagre total. The top order looked brittle and it was only due to Eoin Morgan and Joe Root that they managed to gun down the total. Pitch and Conditions The game will be played at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff and the pitch at the venue is mostly on the slower side. The spinners will be more effective this time around and expect the wicket to turn more as the game progresses. Also, the team batting first has to make sure that they post a formidable total on the board through which they can trouble the opposition by unleashing the spinners. Team Combination England England is unlikely to make any changes to their line-up which did so well in the first ODI. Though they wil hope the top three, Jason Roy, Alex Hales and Jonny Bairstow make some runs in the continued absence of Ben Stokes. Moeen Ali was the best bowler for them in the last match and has to play a similar role on a slow wicket in Cardiff as well. Even Adil Rashid and the pace battery was effective as the home side will be expected to dominate the proceedings again. Probable XI: Jason Roy, Jonathan Bairstow, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (capt), Jos Buttler (wk), Moeen Ali, David Willey, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood Australia Australia will look to strengthen their batting and might bring either D’Arcy Short or Alex Carey at the top of ther order. Aaron Finch has to come down the order to handle the proceedings and play a big knock if Australia are hoping to post or chase a formidable total. Moreover, Ashton Agar will be crucial again as he went wicketless in the first match. He should improve his bowling and understand that his role is not only to keep a lid on the run-scoring. Among the pacers, Kane Richardson will be the one to miss out who was the least effective. Probable XI: D’Arcy Short/Alex Carey, Travis Head, Shaun Marsh, Aaron Finch, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Tim Paine (c & wk), Ashton Agar, Michael Neser, Andrew Tye, Billy Stanlake Probable Top Performers Adil Rashid (England), Aaron Finch (Australia) Head to Head Matches – 143, England – 57, Australia – 81, Tie – 2, N/R – 3 Timing of the match: 15:30 IST Broadcast Details TV: Sony Six Online Streaming: Sony LIV The prediction is for England to continue their winning streak against the Aussies and take the 2-0 lead in the series.<doc-sep>Such a strange atmosphere. So lukewarm, so mild. Not perhaps since the 1979 World Cup, when Australia sent a second XI because of Kerry Packer, has a cricket match between England and Australia in this country been so short of traditional rivalry and ribaldry. England did their best to inject excitement, by losing three quick wickets when set to score 215, which was followed by a late spasm of poor shot-selection before they won with three wickets and six overs in hand, going 1-0 up with four to play. Overall, though, it was as if the Australians had never tampered with the ball in South Africa, so subdued was the occasion until England’s mistakes manufactured a semi-climax. Only Australia’s captain Tim Paine and the easy-going Shaun Marsh were members of their Ashes-winning team last winter or that scandal-ridden team in South Africa, so there was no Aussie for the Oval crowd to hate or bait.<doc-sep>England vs Australia 1st ODI Live Streaming: England and Australia play 1st ODI at The Oval.

Cardiff: A new-look Australia had their moments in the first ODI, but it's England who head into the Cardiff clash with a 1-0 lead. Australia’s new beginning got off to a largely poor start, in fact, with their batsmen collapsing to 90/5 at The Oval. Glenn Maxwell and Ashton Agar added 84 thereafter to help boost the total to 214, but despite their bowlers putting up a fight, England got to a three-wicket win quite comfortably. The England innings brought to light what Australia were missing, particularly in the absence of Steve Smith. Joe Root and Eoin Morgan put on a 115-run stand for the fourth wicket, converting defence into attack in a stand that stemmed the rot after England were reduced to 33/3. Nothing of the sort was evident in the Australia innings, and that steel is something they will hope to add to their repertoire in the second ODI. Ricky Ponting, assisting head coach Justin Langer for the tour, called on the Australian batsmen to be more responsible, saying, “It highlighted again the importance of our top-order batsman taking responsibility and getting some big runs. These players need to be hard on themselves and work out how they can improve on a daily basis.” There is talk that Australia could consider bringing in an extra batsman to bolster things, with one of D’Arcy Short or Alex Carey likely to step in. How that will affect the balance of the side – their bowling attack is settled and could do without the tampering – remains to be seen. That said, Australia need to do something. England, the No.1-ranked ODI side, seem to have their mojo back after that dispiriting loss to Scotland on Sunday. And, over the last couple of years, it’s become increasingly evident that the England ODI side don’t let a lead slip without a fight.
