Stokes, Morgan hit 50s; England in control

June 10, 2017 21:08

England 126-3 (20 ovs) vsAus 277-9 | Scorecard

Leg-spinner Adam Zampa comes into the attack as Henriques is taken off after just one over.

Morgan takes a single to bring up his fifty from 51 balls, having hit six fours and two sixes.

With the two left-handers going strong, the match is slowly but steadily slipping away from Australia.

Zampa makes a tidy start, giving away just three runs in his first over but England are in no rush and they can afford to have a few quiet overs with the asking rate under five.

Some relief for Australia as they manage to bowl two tight overs, without conceding a boundary, but England are in control on 126 for three in 20 oers. They need another 152 runs from 30 overs for victory.

For England, the big positive is that they are 14 runs ahead of the Duckworth-Lewis calculation after 20 overs.

Stokes has dominated right from the start, to smash 54 from 46 balls, while Morgan has hit 51 from 54 balls with the duo having added 91 runs from 86 balls so far for the fourth wicket.
