Stoinis replaces Hazlewood. On the pads to Woakes, he flicks it deep for a double, a sort of touch and go situation for Woakes, thanks to Labuschagne’s bullet throw, but he makes it safely in the end.

Hazlewood swings it into Root, he tried defend but it takes an inside edge onto the pads and falls safe. Just outside off, Root gets an outside edge but the ball slips past Smith at second slip and runs away for a FOUR! Fuller this time, Root comes down the track in an attempt to flick it but misses as the ball crashes onto his pads, Hazlewood appeals but looked like the impact was outside off and so says the umpire. End of 4th over

On the up from Starc, Root hits it through the line and through covers, it was in the air for a while, Stoinis attempts to get to the ball but misses it by a whisker. Full and on off, Starc gets a hint of outswing, a swing and a miss from Malan, so close! Malan rotates strike with a dangerous quick single. Two slips for Root as Starc bowls over the wicket, just a single to end the over, Root will retain strike.

Josh Hazlewood to bowl the second after a superb first over. Takes it away from Malan first up as the batter decides to leave the ball alone. Similar delivery, back of the length, identical outcome as Malan leaves this one as well. Down the legside this time, there was a faint sound as Inglis completes the catch, appeals but the umpire gives it a wide, no further action from the Aussies. A couple of singles to follow. Two dots as Hazlewood’s over comes to an end

The Aussies are out in the middle and are having a quick huddle as the game is minutes away from resumption. Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan are opening for England. Mitchell Starc to begin the proceedings with the ball.

STARC STRIKES FIRST BALL! A wild swing that was directed towards Bairstow’s legs and the batter knicks it straight to Inglis behind the stumps. A bad call from Bairstow to event attempt a shot.

Wood continues after this breakthrough in the previous over. A couple to third man for Green. Brook looks to have hurt himself slightly after putting in a dive to stop the boundary. Nothing serious though. Full on the pads, Green flicks it to square leg for a double. Quick bouncer on the body, Green was very late and just about manages to get his gloves in the way of his helmet. Four!! Yorker length outside off, Green just gets his bat to it and races away for a boundary.

Livingstone is back into the attack. Labuschagne will look to take the innings deep here and hope Green and the batters to follow can provide the final push. Four!! Overpitched on the stumps from Livingstone, Green whips it through midwicket for a boundary.

A couple of doubles to start Rashid’s over as Labuschagne is unbeaten at 49. Slightly outside, Labuschagne cuts it for a single to bring up his half century in 63 balls - second in this edition of the World Cup.

RASHID RETURNS AND PICKS ANOTHER ONE! INGLIS FALLS THIS TIME AFTER A FAILED REVERSE SWEEP ATTEMPT! Moeen is the catcher again. Cameron Green is in at six.

Change of personnels here as Livingstone replaces Woakes. Short and slightly wide, Smith cuts it to sweeper cover for a single. Three runs coming from that over

Manages to get off the mark with a single

Over the wicket this time from Willey. Keeps it tight and Smith plays one for a single. That’s 1000 runs for Smith in ODI World Cups! Huge appeal from Woakes as Buttler catches one behind the stumps, there was a sound and the English skipper opts for DRS. Replay shows no bat involved, ball tracking says it’s umpires call, unlucky for England! On the legs for Smith and he just had to flick it to collect a FOUR! Six runs from that over

ENG vs AUS, World Cup 2023: Steve Smith completes 1000 WC runs during match vs England

Steve Smith became the fifth Australian batter to aggregate 1000 runs in ODI World Cups during the World Cup 2023 match against England in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

Wide outside off for Warner and he slashes it over backward point for a couple of runs. Dot to finish the over

Steve Smith is in at three. Starts off with a dot. Slightly outside off this time and it takes a thick outside edge and runs past point fielders as Smith runs three

David Warner and Travis Head in the middle for Australia while David Willey opens with the ball for England. On the up, Head middles it and gets off the mark with a double to get the scoreboard ticking. Two dots to follow. Head clears the in-field, looks like Moeen Ali’s attempt keeps the ball in but its a touch-and-go situation, umpire goes upstairs and thats safe, superb piece of work from Moeen. Willey offers room and Head capitalises as he lofts one through covers to pick up a FOUR! Single from Head to finish the over

The teams have arrived in the middle and it’s now time for national anthems. Australia’s anthem is played first

England skipper Jos Buttler needs 72 runs to become the third-fastest English batter to reach the 5000-run mark in ODIs (150 innings).

On the other hand, though highly improbable, the soon-to-be-retired David Willey needs six wickets to get to 100 ODI scalps.

The pitch to be used in today’s match will be the same that was used for the tournament opener between England and New Zealand. And reports have suggested that in the past few days, there has been a considerable amount of dew late in the evenings. Australia has to set a mammoth target in order to give its bowlers a bit more margin for error

The ICC World Cup 2023 match between England and Australia will be streamed LIVE on the Disney+ Hotstar app and website.

It was only five months ago when England and Australia stood toe-to-toe and traded blows in a closely fought Ashes series. When the two sides meet in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup fixture here on Saturday, the Ashes will feel like a different lifetime.

There is no fight left in England. The unit, designated favourite at the start of the tournament, has inexplicably plummeted to five losses in six matches. The disastrous run has sunk the team to the bottom of the points table, with little to no hope of a revival.

Australia faces a challenge too, even if it is a far easier fix when compared to its familiar foe.

Maverick Glenn Maxwell and all-rounder Mitchell Marsh are not available for selection. Maxwell suffered a concussion in a freak golf accident, while Marsh has flown back home for personal reasons.
