Australia vs England Ball by Ball Commentary - ICC Champions Trophy 2025

47.3SIX! AND THAT'S THAT! Josh Inglis fittingly seals a remarkable Aussie win with a six! Wood goes full, on middle and leg, Inglis brings his bottom hand into play and picks it up nicely. Whips it towards deep mid-wicket where Joe Root leaps and gets a hand to it but it is not enough to prevent the six. Inglis punches the air in delight as Australia register a famous win in Lahore and get their campaign off to a winning start.

47.2Wood drags the length back and bowls it on middle, Maxwell backs away and pulls it through mid-wicket for a single.

47.1Very full, slanting in, on middle, Josh squeezes it out to mid on for a single.

46.5SIX! Maxwell cashes in on the Free Hit! Archer goes searching for the yorker but misses his mark. Serves it in the slot, on middle, Maxwell goes deep in the crease and gets under the ball. Launches it over long on for a six. Australia need just 4 more now.

46.5NO BALL! Archer gets it all wrong as the ball slips out of his hand and it goes around the waist. Maxwell is hurried as he tries to swipe it across the line and also gets tucked up for room. It goes only as far as deep mid-wicket where Liam Livingstone takes it. Livingstone completes the catch and releases the throw immediately as the batters cross. It is referred upstairs and the replays confirm that the ball was indeed above the waist. The third umpire then checks whether the batters crossed before the catch was completed. He gives his verdict that the catch was completed first and then the batters crossed. So, it will be Maxwell on strike for the Free Hit.

46.4FOUR! Powered away! Australia are just a couple of big hits away now. Need 11 more runs now. Jofra hurls it fuller, on off, Maxwell presses back and winds up. Gets his hands through the line of the ball and spanks it to the left of mid off for a boundary.

45.4Excellent stop! On a back of a length, this skids through, outside off, Maxwell slashes at the delivery. It flies down to deep third on the bounce. Jofra Archer is quick across the turf to his left and sticks out his left hand to make the stop. They cross.
