England eye Australia after making short work of New Zealand

England play Australia in their final group game at Edgbaston on Saturday, knowing they could knock the Aussies out of the event.

If Australia beat England in their last group match at Edgbatson, both the two teams will be in the semifinals as they enjoy better net run-rate.

Morgan promised no let-up against World Cup champion Australia as England, in marked contrast, seeks its first major 50-over title.

"We now know we have qualified for the semi-finals, but we want to be going into a semi-final on the back of a win - and we ll be desperate to do that on Saturday".

Whatever the consequences, Buttler confirms the stakes always rise against Australia. In hindsight, New Zealand could have done a couple of things differently - maybe brought another man on to the leg-side, made a couple of changes tactically, but then again, the frontline England bowlers bowled alright and still went for almost six runs an over, which is just the nature of the limited-overs game these days. We will not change our style of cricket.

Opener Jason Roy, looking horribly out of form, was bowled by a straight ball from Adam Milne for 13 and Alex Hales swept across the line after a quickfire 56 as Milne took another wicket.

"He's a very good bowler, unique in the fact that he bowls at such good pace off maybe a five to 10-metre run up - which you don't see too much around the world", said Williamson.

However, when brought to Project Scorpio , the game ran at a frame rate that "felt more consistent" at a 4K resolution. The NPC population will be affected by the day/night cycle, and will eat, sleep, and even "answer the call of nature".

The hosts, on the other hand, secured a place in the last-four after a convincing win against New Zealand. "It is a ground we like playing at, which is one of the advantages of being at one, isn't it?"

"We have to make the most of that".

It was his second unbeaten half-century in four ODI innings this summer, after a winter run of seven attempts which brought him a top score of 31.

"I thought they did an outstanding job". It's a must-win game, so it's going to be an exciting challenge. There is none of that consolidation in the middle overs as used to be the norm until say 4-5 years back, because teams are mindful that totals even in the region of 325 aren't necessarily safe anymore.

"We got up to what looked to be a good score on that wicket, because it got harder and harder to bat on as the game went on".

Williamson fell to a ball from Wood that leapt at him from short of a length to take his glove for caught-behind.

"Then, the way Kane (Williamson) and Ross (Taylor) were going about, it required a great delivery from Mark Wood to get rid of a well-set Kane".
