It’s Gloucestershire (surprisingly, and they did win the unofficial championship before it was properly organised) and Northamptonshire. Yorkshire and Surrey have won it most often I think.

 

They're playing at Lord's, remarkably.

England's openers struggling at first, but still there - 47 for 0 off 9 overs.

 

And now Salt has gone.

 

England going very nicely now. 145-2 off 22 overs.

 

Need these 2 to stay in a while before Livingstone comes in

 

Going for it now

 

Great hitting by Livingstone. It's a massive score by England.

 

28 of the last over, well played Liam Livingston.....

That's a huge score for 39 overs and the Aussies will have to motor from the start, hopefully England can pick up wickets on a regular basis as they try to keep up with the run rate.....

 

Head looking to score all the runs himself, Aussies up with run rate after 7 overs 60/0

 

Excellent comeback by Carse.

 

Head gone thankfully.....

 

Smith gone...75/2

 

Beauty from Archer to bowl Marsh....

 

Ouch......

 

Poor drop by Rasid....

 

Watched a bit of the early England innings and we looked crap. Shouldn’t really **** it up from here.

 

Nice to see Archer looking so smooth and getting good pace....

 

A wicket as soon as I typed it. Ingerland Ingerland Ingerland

 

What a ball!

 

A jaffa from Carse to get Labushange (spelling).... 93/5........ 25/5 in 38 balls
