ICC World Cup Match 2: Australia vs England

Robbed of a century by 2 runs, James Taylor handled that with class and dignity.

James Taylor proves that the best things come in small packages. Shame my girlfriend doesn't believe that when I tell her, though.

Controversial end to the match. Taylor is given out LBW, reviews successfully, but his partner is found short of his ground. #AUSvENG #CWC15

Schrodinger's DRS.

Umpires don't know the rules, commentators don't know the rules, DRS farce. What a shame for James Taylor.

Anderson wasn't home, but was the ball dead as soon as the decision given??

Taylor on 98* given out lbw, but refers it and... Wickets missing! But was there a run out as well?

If you're wondering if Finn likes facing Johnson, here's your answer! England 9 out. #ENGvsAUS #AusvsEng http://t.co/6DSeBwSyTl

Into second powerplay and James Taylor brings up his fifty with a six down the ground. Excellent knock all things considered.175-6 (33.4)

I thought Mark Waugh was a good punter?! This prediction was wrong. Broad bowled. #ENGvsAUS #AUSvsENG http://t.co/wdIj95eRuy

Mitchell wicket count: Marsh - 5 Starc - 2 Johnson - 1 Eng 194/8 http://t.co/CNy0swc5gB #CWC15

BOWLED HIM! Mitch S gets one through Broad and he's gone for a duck. England 8-194. LIVE: http://t.co/CEQ0LHhUOq #cwc15 #AUSvENG

England's resistance is halted. Woakes out; 7 down. #ENGvsAUS #AUSvENG http://t.co/5XvrzWUYIf

Into second powerplay and James Taylor brings up his fifty with a six down the ground. Excellent knock all things considered.175-6 (33.4)

The records keep tumbling. Woakes & Taylor have added 84 - record 7th wkt stand v Australia in World Cup. A glorious day for English sport.

The match might be over but Taylor takes the chance to bat himself into some form. Raises his 5th fifty in just 12 inngs. #AUSvENG #CWC15

Great catch by @stevesmith49 Anticipation/instinct combined with reflex....incredible!! Also brings up Mitchell Marsh's 5 for. #CWC15

England have successfully got past Mitchell's spell (not Johnson but Marsh) and have just lost 5 wickets in the process. #AUSvENG #CWC15

Great catch by Haddin. Eng 5 down. #ENGvsAUS #AUSvsENG http://t.co/RhAs3KMj87

Morgan goes for a duck - excellent catch from Haddin and another wicket for Marsh (4-13). 73-5 from 18 overs. #AUSvENG

GOT HIM, GONE! Marsh has three wickets now and he's on a hat-trick! Haddin with the catch. Root gone for 5. ENG 4-66 (13.5) #cwc15 #AUSvENG

2 in 2 for Mitchell Marsh. Both Bell and Root sent back to pavilion.

England's highest #Impact batsman Joe Root comes in to bat. He is also their highest Chasing Impact batsman. #scorewithdata #CWC15

Ballance out! #ENGvsAUS #AUSvENG http://t.co/hH8KK4Kvnz

Aussies have been best fielding team for 2 solid years now. Will win them a WC. Smith, maxwell, warner 3 of best 5 in world.

Ballance is on his way for 10. A simple enough catch for Finch at short mid-wicket, with Marsh the bowler. England 49-2 after 9.4. #AUSvENG

Ali tries to hit Starc for 6... doesn't quite get there. England 1 out! #ENGvsAUS #AUSvENG http://t.co/5x2qA4BmwI

Mitchell Starc gets a wicket! Moeen Ali gone.. England - 29/1 in 5 overs

About time!

Mark Waugh: Ever since you sledged Starc he's done well. Well done mate. Anyone else? Warne: Well, I'll pick on someone else #AUSvENG #CWC15

Mitchell Starc has taken the highest proportion of top/middle order wickets for Australia in the last 5 years. #scorewithdata #impact

15/0 in 3.2 overs..

1st day has so far produced 2 300+ scores, 1 hundred, few powerful cameos and a hat-trick. Can't complain.. #CWC15

Starc starts off with a maiden to Moeen Ali!

Quite a race in the innings' break at the #MCG. Dress up as sponsors, catch some balls, run around. #AusvEng #CWC15 http://t.co/7vGESG8XcT

.@ECB_cricket have never chased more than 253 to beat Australia in Australia (that 253 was at @MCG in '07) #cwc15 #AUSvENG

England's highest ever score batting second in ODIs is 338 vs India in 2011

Haddin goes - but Australia are dominating. http://t.co/FeKn0o9wCY

Maxwell out too - after a great knock. #ENGvAUS #AUSvsENG http://t.co/tuHxT5bS5a

Hat trick for Finn! Least satisfying one ever as Aust finish 342-9. Johnson the 3rd victim. #ENGvsAUS #AUSvENG http://t.co/iihk98ORcV

Finn becomes the first England player to claim a hat-trick in WCs. Only the 4th English bowler to claim a hat-trick in ODIs. #AUSvENG #CWC15

I like my coffee just how I like my England cricketers...grown in Africa and imported.

Australia finish at 342/9. This is their highest ever score against England in ODIs. Previous best: 334/8 at SCG, 2011. #AUSvENG #CWC15

Finn gets Haddin, Maxwell and Johnson in the last three balls of the Australian innings. Target - 343!

And it's a hat-trick!

OUT! Haddin skies one and Broad takes a brilliant catch running in from the deep. Out for 31 off just 14 balls. AUS 7-342 (49.4) #cwc15

Brad Haddin was opening the batting in the last World Cup. Now he's at No.8. This is a very, very deep batting order #cwc15 #ausveng

321/6 in 48 overs. Braddin 19* off 9, Maxwell - 57* off 34

Fastest 50s for Australia in WC: 28-ball Tom Moody v Bdesh 1999, 28-ball Shane Watson v NZ 2007, 30-ball Glenn Maxwell v ENG today. #CWC15

In the 4 matches Maxwell had played in MCG before this, he had failed each and every time. He is making amends for that this time around.
