Well played Australia. Mitchell Johnson hauled them from a poor total to a defendable 249 with some late heroics with the bat, and then they hauled the game back into their hands after England had reached 74 for 0.

England's failure to claim the final Powerplay until the game was as good as over will come under some considerable scrutiny, but in truth they screwed up their chase long before that. Strauss was too busy plane-watching to carry on a fine innings, Owais Shah proved once again he is lousy between the wickets, and Brett Lee showed what is possible with a fast, full and late-swinging length.

So there we have it. We mustn't forget another good batting performance from Callum Ferguson, who looks a quality find in the middle order. Australia are worthy winners. I've been Andrew Miller, and he's been Will Luke. Goodnight all

I still blame the Lancaster Bomber

England need a bit of James Foster magic right now

Well, England have made a gastronomic delight of this run-chase. Michelin stars all round

Three runs in five Powerplay balls so far ...
