England vs Australia, 3rd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
Series: Australia tour of England, 2018 Venue: Trent Bridge, Nottingham Date & Time: Jun 19, 02:00 PM LOCAL
Travis Head 51(39)
12.3
Moeen Ali to Head, out Caught&Bowled! The almost-soft-dismissal last over is completed now, but the victim is Head this time. On off-stump, straightening, and some apparent hold in the wicket, perhaps some grip, which makes Head check his drive and chip it right back to Ali. He tosses the ball up in delight. When did England start producing subcontinental tracks that turn after the flat track starts showing blemishes? Anyway, Aussies two down, and the in-form Head is on his way back. Head c and b Moeen Ali 51(39) [4s-7]

11.3

5.4
Willey to Shaun Marsh, leg byes, 1 run, good length delivery heading for leg, or perhaps missing. Shaun Marsh misses the glance and it trickles towards third man for a leg-bye. No bat involved, but it was too high I suppose. Might've gone down leg too
5.1
Willey to Head, no run, short, zero width and angling, Head tries to cut, takes a take longer to get the wrist into action and manufacture width, can't make the adjustment in time and misses
