Australia lost the match on their own fault , i agree with that their bowlers make some mistake .But 231 is not a  big target . I thought they could easily win the match , but their batsmen really disappointed me . Hopefully they will resolve their mistakes in the last Odi match . .I am waiting for a competitive match.

They are losing just because of their middle order is not performing as they have in past even they have few very good players for this position bowling is still very good but main problem is middle order where they have nothing and its hurting them very badly in this all tour just once they have good partnership after this their is nothing coming good from others hopefully we will have some good in coming matches because lack or practice is also giving them some problems.

^^ They did fell down like dominoes but for starter it was tough pitch to bat on, both teams were struggling with it and when pitch is slow low scoring target becomes tricky and interesting to watch on. So i wouldn't blame Aussie completely, it just modern day batsmen in ODI are so used to play on dead pitches and they struggle when pitch is alive or in that case ridiculously slow.

If this was an exception, then I would have agreed with you. But that is not the case. Batting collapse has become a norm for Australia. The only difference is that, this time the top 4 failed as well. I don't know why they are not working on this aspect. They have world class players in every department, and yet they regularly lose matches as a result of their poor middle-order batting.

Australia is clearly struggling without Smith in the batting department. 300 seems like a difficult target for the current lineup, but I wouldn't blame them completely because their form got affected by the pandemic.

Didn't expect England to win this one, but Archer, Curran and Woakes proved me wrong. Their bowling lineup performed in both batting and bowling departments. The final will surely be exciting.

Australians once again showed the cricket fans how to lose a match, which they could have won easily. First of all, they had England at 149/8 and then allowed them to make a total in excess of 230. And then, after getting a good start (they were 144/2 at one point), they wasted that by losing wickets to useless shots. Feels bad for the Australian bowlers, who toiled really hard.

I guessed it wouldn't be easy but didn't guess Australia would lose the match eventually. Seems like I got lucky tonight. It was a great spell from both Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes & so does from Tom Curran.
Big concern for Aussies is their middle order not doing as they need to be in last match Mitchel and Maxwell both was able to stay and reach on some good target but in today match as they was chasing very small target on difficult pitch no one able to stay for doing good job until end now in last and final ODI they need to do some better for win this series.

Australia bowled very well to keep England to a low total and I did think they would go on and win the match but this time the middle order didn't fire a shot and Australia lost too many wickets in just a couple of overs which gave England all the momentum to go on and win the match. Well now it sets up a final decider to see which team can win the series.

The second ODI resembles the first T20 match between England and Australia, chasing a target of 162 they reached 98 runs without loosing any wicket and then failed to score the winnings runs by 2 runs and in this match after a good partnership from Finch and Labuschagne Australia was posed to win the match and then a wicket changed the entire match upside down.

Edit: Mitchell Marsh castled by Jofra Archer. Advantage England now.
The bookmakers are still favoring Australia to win the match and placing a bet on England @2 odds is a good bet because if England is able to pick either Alex Carey or Glenn Maxwell then England will win the match as one more wicket will expose the Australian fragile tail. I thought Australia could win the match without much trouble but it looks like the pitch is really difficult to bat.

Edit: Glenn Maxwell is gone and now its England's match to level the series.

What a turnaround to this match and Australia lost the match which they should have won on any other pitch but this one was difficult for the batting.
With that the series level with 1-1. 
Good comeback by the team England.

Still it is 50/50. Australia was cruising nicely, when Woakes trapped Marnus Labuschagne LBW. Aaron Finch is still there, but he needs some support from his team-mates. Mitchell Marsh is not looking very comfortable against Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes. The required run rate is still under 5 runs per over, and therefore they don't need to do anything foolish. But if they lose a couple of wickets now, then it will become really hard.

Does not look like the England will be able to post a big total against the Aussies.
England lost their  8th wicket for 149 runs and if they are able to put 82 runs from that situation, it was a great recovery from Curran and Rashid and in retunr Australia is sailing smoothly till now and England is not troubling the well set Finch who is playing a captains innings and Labuschagne and until they are able to pick a couple of wickets Australia will easily chase the score.

What is wrong with the Australian pacers? Hazlewood bowled well yesterday, but today all of them failed to take crucial wickets. The 9th wicket partnership between Tom Curran and Adil Rashid was able to take England from 149/8 to 231/9. Starc, Cummins and Mitchell Marsh conceded too many runs in the final overs. Today Australia wasted a very good chance to bowl England out for less than 200.

Dont know what happen to Aussie bowlers at the dept and they let England score 231 when they could have bowled them all out under 180 or less. Although Aussie still are favorite for this match but England have an outside chance if they could take early wickets and put pressure on Aussie batsmen.

It's not going to be easy at all for the Australians. They are 44/2, and Marnus Labuschagne (playing his first international match in 6 months) is at the crease with Aaron Finch. Two of their important batsmen are gone. Both David Warner and Marcus Stoinis fell to Jofra Archer. I would say that right now it is looking like 50/50. Won't be much surprised if England wins this match.

After the initial wickets loss, Marnus Labuschagne and Aaron Finch have steady the innings and are looking good. I hope Finch completes his half century as he has battled well today.
Its still anyone game if Aussie loses another 1-2 wickets now.

It seems Australia have hard time tonight to chase the 231. They already have lost 2 early wickets. I thought England will come back in this match; bet on England to win. Score isn't good to defend but expecting some more wickets. I really got unlucky in the last few weeks.

I thought Australia could restrict England below 200 but the tail end players tried their best to put some runs on the board and i think the pitch is really bad and everyone is finding it hard to score runs and Australia started really carefully and if England is not able to pick some early wickets Australia will win the match and the series.

England has scored only 231 runs. It is not a big total.  If Australia play stress free the they can easily beat England. But England have some good bowlers. on the other hand, England are always unpredictable at home ground. Australia have to play very carefully.
