England have managed to finish their innings on a high as they have put a total of 302 runs at the loss of seven wickets after 50 overs.

Batsman Jonny Bairstow was the star of the show as he scored 112 runs off just 126 balls hitting 14 boundaries before getting bowled off the bowling of pacer Pat Cummins. Chris Woakes played a brilliant knock at the end scoring 53 runs off just 39 balls taking England’s total past 300 in the final over.

Mitchell Starc and Adam Zampa picked up 3 wickets each in their respective 10 over spells with Pat Cummins having a solitary yet important wicket of the man-on-fire Jonny Bairstow. Adam Zampa continued his fantastic form in white-ball cricket.

Australia will be confident of chasing this total as they have an experienced batting lineup, however considering the dismal collapses in the batting shown by Australia on this tour, England will be pretty confident of defending their total of above 300 runs.
