England need a win here more than Australia as they have only one win carried forward from the group stage. Read about those technicalities here. Should be a good chase, join Shashwat, who should be in a few minutes before the clock strikes 2 in Kimberley to call the action.
Theo Wylie: It was a good day out on a turning deck, suited to left-arm spin. All others bowled exceptionally well by pinning down batters, allowing me to get stuck in. Weibgen hit the bad balls hard, hit the sweepers hard. That's what we learned this innings - be positive. (On his role change) It was a pretty surreal experience. I was getting wiggles all over my body while bowling pace, a coach told me to bowl spin and it came out nicely in Zimbabwe.
1:32pm Weibgen is the player of the innings, Dixon and the middle-order bats supported him and MacMillan put on the finishing touches to give Australia a great score. It was a tough start against good bowling. Morgan decked one back in to get Konstas in the first over but Dixon got stuck in with Weibgen and the two worked through a challenging period to put on 106. England tried a lot of options, finished with seven bowlers in fact, but couldn't pile on the pressure. Benkenstein dropped Weibgen in the 12th over, with the skipper on 20*, which cost 100 more runs just from him. Wylie was brilliant in the middle overs but the skipper was able to stitch three handy partnerships with the middle order, and Peake and MacMillan finished well. England had a few decent overs in the last ten but a couple of biggies took Australia up and over 260.
Deep third now back
Four deep fielders on the leg side, just deep point on the off
