Australia beat England 3-2 in the five match ODI series on Sunday

The rain arrived too late for England as Australia won the deciding fifth one-day international to clinch the series 3-2. Australia finished on 165-2 in 20.4 overs, appearing to be comfortably on track to reaching the original winning target of 310 before rain stopped play at Bristol's County Ground on Sunday. No further play was possible and Australia won by 49 runs under the DLS method which sets revised targets for interrupted cricket matches. Australia struggled with injuries and illness during the series, and fielded a different starting lineup in each game and a stand-in captain Steve Smith in the decider when Mitch Marsh withdrew because of soreness. "It's certainly been a tricky series," Marsh said. "But it's just the calmness, our ability to stay present with the XIs we put out, that impressed me." The teams entered the game tied at 2-2 and the match would have been abandoned as a no-result, with the series ending 2-2, if Australia had not batted for 20 overs the mini

PAK vs ENG: Shaheen Afridi returns to 15-member squad for 1st Test

Fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi was on Tuesday recalled as the Pakistan selectors named a 15-member squad for the first Test against England beginning on October 7. Afridi, who was dropped for the second and final Test against Bangladesh earlier this month due to poor form, was back in the squad for the first Test in Multan. Seasoned left-arm spinner Noman Ali, who was not considered for the two Tests against Bangladesh, was also named in the squad. Bangladesh had won both the Tests in a big upset. Ali replaced pace bowler Khurrum Shehzad who is yet to recover from a injury he sustained during the home series against Bangladesh. All-rounder Aamer Jamal, who couldn't play in the series against Bangladesh, was also retained in the squad after coming back from a fitness issue. The rest of the players were those who were part of the Pakistan squad for the two Tests against Bangladesh. Pakistan Cricket Board also announced that head coach Jason Gillispie had asked the selected player

ENG vs AUS 2nd ODI: Carey help Australia beat England by 68 runs to 2-0 up

Australia secured a second big victory over England in their ODI series, winning by 68 runs after Alex Carey's dashing 74 off 67 balls and an impressive bowling display sparked by the tourists' returning senior pacers. It was a 14th straight ODI win for the world champion Australians, who moved into a 2-0 lead in a five-match series that has underlined the chasm that has grown between the fierce rivals in the 50-over format. Yet Australia, which won the first ODI by seven wickets on Thursday, was struggling to get past 200 at Headingley after being put into bat, with captain Mitchell Marsh (60 off 59 balls) the only top-order batter to hit a half-century. Travis Head, coming off a career-best 154 not out two days ago, made 29 before being the first of three wickets for fast bowler Brydon Carse (3-75). Steve Smith was out for 4, Marnus Labuschagne for 19 and Glenn Maxwell for 7 as Australia labored. However, Carey dominated the batting in the tail and provided a late flourish for ..

ENG vs AUS 2nd ODI: England won the toss and opted to bowl first

England won the toss and will bowl first in the second one-day international against Australia at Headingley on Saturday. Travis Head's career-best 154 not out Thursday powered the tourists to a seven-wicket win in the opener of the five-match series between the fierce cricket rivals. Australia looks even stronger with senior players Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell and Josh Hazlewood back after they sat out in Nottingham because of illness. Ben Dwarshuis, Sean Abbott and Cameron Green are out. Olly Stone replaces Jofra Archer in England's only change. ___ Australia: Travis Head, Matt Short, Mitchell Marsh (captain), Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Hardie, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood England: Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Harry Brook (captain), Jamie Smith, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Olly Stone, Matt Potts, Adil Rashid.

England draw T20I series with Australia after Old Trafford washout

England's T20I series decider against Australia was washed out Sunday without a ball being bowled at Old Trafford. The series finished tied 1-1. The forecast never looked likely to allow for any meaningful play to take place in the third T20I and the umpires finally called the abandonment at 4:20 p.m. local time, almost two hours after the scheduled start. Australia won the series opener by 28 runs at Southampton before England leveled the series with a three-wicket win at Cardiff. The first of five one-day internationals between the teams starts Thursday at Trent Bridge. Harry Brook, a 25-year-old batter, is set to captain England for the first time in the series after Jos Buttler's persistent calf injury saw him ruled out.

Harry Brook to captain England in ODIs vs Australia; Buttler ruled out

Harry Brook is set to captain England for the first time in the one-day international series against Australia after Jos Buttler was ruled out because of his persistent calf injury. Buttler has not played a competitive match since England lost the T20 World Cup semifinal against India in Guyana at the end of June. Having missed the Hundred he suffered a setback in his recovery and has also been forced out of facing the Australians. Brook, 25, has only 15 caps in ODI cricket but England views him as a future leader and had already primed the Yorkshireman to deputize for Buttler when the squad was announced. The first of five one-day internationals between England and Australia starts Thursday at Trent Bridge. Brook's appointment also means England has had a new captain in each international format this summer. Ollie Pope took the test reins from Ben Stokes when the latter's hamstring injury saw him miss the three-match series against Sri Lanka and Phil Salt inherited the T20 role

Liam Livingstone whacks England to a series-tying T20 win over Australia

Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell shared 90 runs off 47 balls to lead England to a Twenty20 series-tying win over Australia at Sophia Gardens. The series will be decided on Sunday at Old Trafford. Set 194 to win, England slipped to 79-3 when Phil Salt walked into an apparent trap laid by fellow stand-in captain Travis Head, holing out to Matthew Short, but Livingstone and Bethell broke the back of the chase. Bethell's dismissal for 44 off 24 balls with the finish line in sight disrupted England but Livingstone carried them to the brink of victory with a superb 87 off 47, including five sixes and six fours. He was bowled with the scores tied and Brydon Carse senselessly slogged in the air next ball to give part-timer Short, who had previously taken only two international wickets, a shock maiden professional five-wicket haul. However, Adil Rashid steered to backward point for the single England needed for a three-wicket win with six balls to spare and to tie the series ...

England hand debut to rookie seamer Josh Hull for final test vs Sri Lanka

England will give rookie seamer Josh Hull his first taste of international cricket after including him in the team for the final test of the summer. Chasing a rare clean sweep of six wins in a row, England has thrown the left-armer in to face Sri Lanka at the The Oval in place of Matthew Potts. The 20-year-old Hull has taken only 16 first-class wickets in 10 matches. But England has made a habit of gambling on young talent since head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes took charge. It's a great week for him to come in, learn a little bit and show off exactly what he can do, said Ollie Pope, who this week completes a three-game run as stand-in skipper for the injured Stokes. Why not get him in? This is a great opportunity for him, you can show exactly what you can do in the international stage. England has already clinched the three-match series against Sri Lanka 2-0 after wins in Manchester and at Lord's. That backed up a 3-0 victory over the West Indies in July and Eng
