England enjoyed a sensational start with the ball as reigning champions Australia suffered a dramatic collapse in their World Cup semi-final at Edgbaston on Thursday. Australia lost openers Aaron Finch and David Warner with just 10 runs on the board and were 27 for three at the end of the initial 10-over powerplay. Warner drove the first ball of the match, from Chris Woakes, through extra-cover for four. But Australia captain Finch, who won the toss, fell for a golden duck when he was lbw to fast bowler Jofra Archer's opening delivery at the start of the second over. Finch, who made exactly 100 in Australia's 64-run group-stage win over England, reviewed but replays upheld Sri Lanka umpire Kumar Dharmasena's original decision. That meant Australia had lost their review and would not be able to challenge any more decisions in the innings.
David Warner's dismissal for nine takes him to 647 runs for the tournament, one short of equalling India's Rohit Sharma as the leading run-scorer. Will he get another chance to pass Rohit? At this stage, it's pointing to no but there's still time for Australia to get back into the game. Glenn Maxwell's at the crease and my money is on it being chin music time. It's no secret Maxwell has a weakness against short-pitched bowling. Jofra Archer still has five overs left. It's the perfect time for Eoin Morgan to use two of them on Maxwell while the batsman's new to the crease. This is the perfect scenario for Maxwell to prove a few of his critics wrong.
It's a double strike by Adil Rashid. He's got Marcus Stoinis trapped in front. Stoinis had no idea there, could not pick the wrong-un. Kumar Dharmasena gave it a bit of thought before he put the finger up. Stoinis, naturally, did not look happy but he could not review it. It wouldn't have mattered. Would have been umpire's call anyway. Australia back in trouble again. That's 50 for Steve Smith off 72 balls - and an important time to bring it up. The partisan crowd at Edgbaston are giving it to him as well. Australia will need him to bat through the innings to get to a competitive total. Alex Carey's brave knock has come to an end. Adil Rashid has struck. Carey's come down the pitch and picked out James Vince just inside the deep mid-wicket rope. He needed to eat a few more Weet-Bix this morning.
