4.15pm: That, points out our stats man Gaurav Sundararaman, is Australia's second-lowest total batting first since the 2015 World Cup. Apart from an 84-run stand between Glenn Maxwell and Ashton Agar, Australia struggled through their innings, never got close to lighting the blue touchpaper, and were bowled out with 18 deliveries left in the can. They may be all about their values now, but there wasn't too much to cherish about that batting. It's six years since Australia defended a target as low as 215 in an ODI... and it's certainly not a chase that will daunt England, back on their own patch and looking to shake Scotland out of their system. Still, it ain't over till it's, etc and so on. Join us again in half an hour

Plunkett to Tye, OUT, takes the pace off, Tye dabs at it off the back foot... but only succeeds in tickling a low edge through to Buttler! He took that well, diving forwards, Tye shakes his head but his fun is over - time to think about bowling, with just 214 to defend

Plunkett to Tye, SIX, another short ball, goes for it again - SPANKED! Tye gets hold of an old-fashioned mow across the line and pounds six over deep midwicket! Back atcha

Shakes himself off, Tye is ready to go again

Plunkett to Tye, no run, short of a length, cross seam and skidding on as Tye windmills across the line... and gets a top edge into his face! He seems okay, waggling his head back at the bowler, the grille did its job; but he'll need to be checked over by the physio, just in case

Plunkett to Tye, no run, back of a length, 84mph and past the outside edge as he tries to dab one from the crease

Wood to Richardson, OUT, pitched up, slapped to mid-off! Wood has a wicket, Richardson losing patience and picking out the man on the edge of the ring

"Re Morgan chat, we found ourselves in a Bairstow v Buttler conundrum last year," pipes up Danie. "Now both are nailed on to be in the side, so it is a genuine question, who does miss out when Stokes is fit? Does Stokes play as one of the five bowlers or do we need variation and good to have 6 genuine bowling options." I suspect Hales would be the one to drop out - he, Roy and Bairstow are contesting two spots, if everyone is fit
