Stokes closes in on century

June 10, 2017 22:19

England 226-4 (38 ovs) vsAus 277-9 | Scorecard

Stokes takes full toll of a short wide delivery from Zampa, smashing it through the covers for a four to take his score into the 90s.

Three balls later, Buttler plays a lofted shot down the ground as it falls short of Cummins at long-on, who fails to stop it and gives away a four as nine runs come from the over.

Some relief for the struggling Cummins as he concedes just three singles in his eighth over with England content to take it easy with just 52 runs needed for victory.

England are 226 for four in 38 overs with Stokes on 95 and Buttler on 22.
