Back to back defeats for England and the semi-final spot is looking increasingly distant for the hosts. Clinical performance from Australia. Behrendorff and Starc were brilliant upfont, while Cummins too complemented them beautifully. The two new ball bowlers shared nine wickets between them and Australia with this 64-run win have sealed their spot in the semi-finals.
Rashid gets into the act. Goes after Starc and collects two boundaries on the bounce. But that is all the fun he is going to have. Fuller outside off, Rashid looks for a repeat of the previous four, doesn’t get all of it and ends up spooning a simple catch to cover as Australia become the first side to qualify for semis. Behrendorff finishes with 5/44, Starc takes 4/43 to bowl England out for 221 and win the match by 64 runs.
