Marnus Labuschagne to Jofra Archer. Leg spinner length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed to long off for 2 runs, shy attempt by Dwarshuis, fielded by Inglis. That's the end of the first innings, and England have set a challenging total. Ben Duckett set a new record for the highest score by a batter in the Champions Trophy, achieving a brilliant 165 runs. After losing two early wickets Joe Root supported him well with his solid batting and scored 68 runs. Australia's bowlers fought hard, with Ben Dwarshuis being the standout performer claiming three wickets. Adam Zampa took two wickets and kept control in the middle overs while Nathan Ellis did well to go at under a run a ball. The question is whether Australia's batters can chase this daunting target or if England's bowlers can defend it with their bowling attack. Let's find out in 30 minutes.
