Australia vs England, 2nd Semi-Final (2 v 3) - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
Glenn Maxwell 22(23)
34.5
Jofra Archer to Maxwell, out Caught by Morgan!! Clever from Archer and he's broken through here! After having operated at high pace and at a shorter length all through the over, he slips in the slower ball on a good length. Grips a bit off the deck and totally outsmarts Maxwell who didn't pick it at all. He was trying to push at it with hard hands and by the time he could realize the variation, it was too late. Lobbed a dolly to Morgan at cover. Maxwell was threatening to blaze away but England have him just when they would have wanted to. Maxwell c Morgan b Jofra Archer 22(23) [4s-2 6s-1]
