ICC Champions Trophy 2017, England vs Australia: 5 things Australia did wrong

#3 Matthew Wade dropping Eoin Morgan

Wade had only himself to blame as Morgan made complete use of his reprieve

Possibly the costliest drop of the Champions Trophy came in the fourth over of the England innings. Starc and Hazlewood had struck pretty early to reduce England to 6/2 within the first two overs. Morgan then decided to show that England were a changed side by charging down to Hazlewood and smacking him for two fours in succession and then another one later.

Hazlewood then had him arranged down leg with a short ball but Matthew Wade dived with one hand and made a mess of the chance. It was a fairly regulation catch by International standards and Australia had to pay a big price.

The wicket-keeper watched in agony as Stokes and Morgan put on a match turning 159-run partnership. Morgan was eventually dismissed for 87 but the game was safe in England's bag by then.
