Thirteenth place: England 71-3 (Butler 1, Bayerstow 42) I can’t tell if Australians grow potatoes as part of a group bonding exercise. Anyway, he bought Zamba, and it’s cracking. Butler gives him almost inflated respect, then tries to turn him off but he gets beaten up and reverts back. Only one of this. Good fight by Australia in the post-Little Power period.

12th place: England 69-3 (Butler 1, Bayerstow 42) Cummins has a remarkably dirty right pants leg – I’m not quite sure how to manage it because it’s not so muddy in there. Just two from above, Cummins on point.
“Good evening, Tania.” Good evening Robert Hill! “In response to Rendel Harris’ query, I imagine any number of private schools would fit this bill. No pun intended. Or actually made.”

11th place: England 68-3 (Butler 1, Bayerstow 41) The answer to Finch’s question was Adam Zamba, who proved irresistible to the English batsmen in the series, and does so again, the second ball. An unusual error of judgment by Morgan.

Wicket! Morgan C Stark B Zamba 23
Vertigo strikes his first time! Deeply disappointed Morgan chooses the tallest man on the Australian side. He has tried to send Zampa halfway through but Starc is able to reach and capture him safely in his giant paws.

10th place: England 67-2 (Morgan 23, Bayerstow 41) Bairstow, all angled elbows, spur at Hazlewood and the ball accelerates across the fast-tracking pitch to the limits. It’s the batsman’s life. This is a force manipulation, quite a recovery from 0-2.
“As a response to Rendell’s grim anger, I think another Covid villain will be most of the insurance industry (at least before the Supreme Court ruling this week),” Brian Withington clicks. “Doubt if that helps though …”
08:45
Ninth place: England 59-2 (Morgan 22, Bayerstow 39) Morgan runs Cummins’ slightly wide back and down for four, but Cummins regroup, spasm and none of the remaining balls are coming up. Steve Smith walks around the floor, under his chin a disposable mask, and dark glasses cover his eyes.
With asterisk?
08:40
Eighth place: England 54-2 (Morgan 18, Bayersto 34) 50 in eighth, as Bairstow and Morgan move to cruise control.
08:37
7th place: England 47-2 (Morgan 16, Bayerstow 29) Pat Cummins’ whistle is fired by Aaron Finch, Patrick Swayze from the Australian side, but Bayerstow is in an aggressive mood, Pecs detonates from his shirt in strong intent. Cumin whipped aloft and with wind for six and then through a hood for four.
“Hey, Tania,” Rendle nudged Harris to the typewriter. “If we’re talking melancholy, a close second (boiling rage over TBH’s melancholy) for not seeing any live cricket game at all is the fact that Surrey CCC, in their wisdom, arbitrarily decided that he had never had cricket would still be members Watchers lose 75% of their 2020 membership fee; to add insult to injury, the letter informing us of this called on us to forgo the 25% refund to help the club out. The fact that we are better off than MCC members, who get no cash at all Could anyone think of any other business that paid up front, was unable to supply paid goods / services due to Covid, and then decided that they had the right to refuse to refund the paid money?

Sixth place: England 37-2 (Morgan 16, Bayerstow 19) England have rediscovered their heads, they are very good at these things now. Morgan dances on the court in Hazelwood – sounded prejudiced – and cuts it to four. Then he hangs it – your hands quickly to the deep square rope. Three amounts for 20.

08:27
5th: England 25-2 (Morgan 7, Bayersto 16) The neat whip of the Bairstow shoe sends Stark back over his head for four, followed by the next ball with a pressurized fly strike flying from the top edge to another point. Embarrassing but effective. time is passing.
“A totally cool article from Rebecca that I had previously linked to,” writes, “It got me thinking that perhaps OBO contributions from readers should be subject to some kind of age-based algorithm to ensure the next generation of fanatics get their heads off. As someone who recently looked at a cookie barrel 39 Having his hand for several weeks in that particular jar, I doubt very much about the benefit of this new system, but if this is the quality of output we can expect from non-vegetarians out of this world I will happily spread to the eternal pool of words. “
Biscuit barrel Much deeper than 39 …

Fourth: England 13-2 (Morgan 4, Bayersto 8) This fully proves the test for England. Bayersto reveals his late cut to hit the ball down to the short limit, but otherwise, worried about Hazelwood, approaching slipping and indicating anger at the referee over a wide distance not given.
Updated
08:19
Third: England 9-2 (Morgan 4, Bayersto 4) Starc: From the back is a glass cleaner, a white cloth folded into the back of his pants, from the front is a pop star from the 1970s, his dark facial hair and a thick black headband. Morgan plays his idiot, unfamiliar feet, not quite in the right place, almost tending to rustle, uncomfortable against short things.
John Starbuck wrote “Tania”. “I have a feeling that neither side is not going to use full 50 bucks in this game. It would be nice if they went the distance but there seems to be a change in the air now (end-of-term effect?).”
I think you might be right. It’s very difficult to stay in the area for the last few meters of a long run.
08:13
Second place: England 8-2 (Morgan 4, Bayerstow 4) Bayerstow, who could only watch Starc cause carnage at the other end, negotiates safely with Hazlewood’s first four balls, then dexterously shoves him for four. Maybe this is the way it will be – limits or share.
08:09
First place: England 4-2 (Morgan 4, Bayerstow 0) The hat-trick passes unharmed down the legislation and Eoin Morgan, whose ability to clear his mind is frightening, affects the next delivery of four through the cap. An interesting start from England. Roy was especially angry, hitting his paddle on the stairs and leaving some more interesting phrases.
08:04
Wicket! Lbw starc root 0
The second ball! The ball is swinging in the rear root pad and that’s it! He has a conversation with Bairstow who takes a ridiculously long time to tell him he doesn’t have a chance to review. Hattrick ball!

Wickett Roy J Maxwell B Stark 0
The first ball! Roy’s eyes light up on a ball outside her torso, he has an arrow and the ball flies straight into Maxwell’s hand at the back point.

Something to throw into the mix: Because of the stadium’s location, There is a very short border on the left side of the ground, with the wind blowing towards that rope.

Thanks to Nick Moreton With reference to this amazing article written by the young Guardian sports writer, ages 7 to 9, Rebecca Close. Great idea, great done. Congratulations!

Australia has not changed England don’t have to worry about Steve Smith. He is still “a little groggy”. Finch would have hit, too. It’s a breeze outside, his shirt pierces his chest. Australia “erred in the execution” on Sunday, and he hopes today will be better.

England have won the lot and are going to strike
Sam Curran is, unfortunately, absent from Mark Wood. “Sam is a very versatile and young cricketer but we went the extra mile.”

A dynamic bubble has its challenges And you can’t help but think there will be an atmosphere from the last day in school for today’s procedures.
Justin Langer said when asked yesterday, “It’s almost one day at a time …”. “It’s just when you start looking forward to when we get home and then quarantine and what summer looks like, and if you keep looking ahead away, it’s going to be tough.”
Guofra Archer, who spent more days in Bubble Bubble than any other player, was more forthcoming. “It was a mental challenge. We have been here for 16 weeks. It would be rare to go home or go back to normal again. Here (overtime) has become the new normal. We will have to adjust what happens when we get some time.”
They haven’t had much time to rest – IPL players in Australia and England will travel to Dubai on Thursday to join their franchises.

Preamble
Good evening from Old Trafford, Where the sun is high, cabbage whites suffer from the last fall flutter, and England play their final game in this long and strange summer.
And what about the few months they’ve gone through – albeit tucked inside a biologically safe bubble – the series beat the West Indies in Tests (2-1), Ireland in a day (2-1), Pakistan in a Test Series (1-0), Australia is in the T-20s (2-1), the T-20 series tied against Pakistan (1-1), however, after all, this final is in perfect shape – with both Australia and England after winning one game each.
Like all of England’s opponents this summer, Australia had to arrive, bubble, and start running. After an easy win in the first ODI match, they seemed to have made up for lost time, but the Sunday night crash would have followed Justin Langer into the night. Australia hopes to bring Steve Smith back into the squad after fearing a concussion, but Langer said Smith was “rusty” into the net and a late call would be made.
England faces a difficult choice regarding bringing back Mark Wood and Moen Ali to replace the Curran brothers, who couldn’t have done much to hold their positions. The stadium at Old Trafford is a new stadium, so Moeen might miss.
Other things to watch out for: Archer’s constant mastery on Warner, Golden Arm of Sam Curran, Non-Resistance of Adam Zamba, Last Summer DJs for Manchester.
Play starts at 1 PM – see you there!
