England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: The conditions

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: This is the first match to be played here since that India-Pakistan game that happened what seems like months ago now considering how things have changed for all teams since then. The outfield of the Narendra Modi was so damp one would have thought that it rained there in evening two nights ago after Australia's training session. It is hence safe to assume that dew will play a big role today.

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: The other game today…

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: Well New Zealand are absolutely bossing Pakistan at the moment in Bengaluru. Rachin Ravindra has just scored his third century of this World Cup and Kane Williamson is on 95. New Zealand are 248/1 in one ball into the 35th over.

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: Root shows confidence in the side

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: "Man for man I'd have this team every day over the Australians," is what Joe Root had to say before this game. He said that England are viewing this game as their "World Cup final", remember that there is still a faint mathematical possibility of England making it to the semis. Root feels that with the kind of players they have, England should be sitting top of the table, which isn't really something you can argue against. "We all know that, and we're all very frustrated that isn't the case. This group of players have three opportunities to [...] play at the level we expect of ourselves: I fully believe we are more than capable of doing that on Saturday," he said.

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: Cummins on the rivalry

There has been a lot of schadenfreude in the Aussie press going into this match. As far as the rivalry goes, this has been a good year for them. They retained the Ashes, neutralising England's new-found strengh in Test cricket thanks to their tactics. Which is now officially called, let's just check the Collins dictionary, yes, Bazball. And now, England have had a stinker while Australia have gone on a phoenix-like run back from the dead. But Australia captain Pat Cummins has dismissed all of that chatter. "There's always banter before any game (between Australia and England). So, I think you're immune to it. You know that cricket speaks for itself. Everything else is just preamble and noise to a game that everyone's really excited about," he said.

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: A Champions Trophy place at stake

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: England are out of contention for a spot in the semis but that doesn't mean that they have nothing to play for. It was revealed only last week that it is only the sides that finish in the top seven of the group stage of this tournament that will qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy. England are 10th but only two points behind seventh place with a better net run rate. A win here can go a long way in them getting that consolation prize.

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: Surgery looming for Stokes

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: Ben Stokes said in his pre-match presser that he will be having surgery on his left knee after the World Cup as he hopes to "get back to doing what I've been known for" ahead of England's Test series in India early next year, which of course is putting in utter freak performances with bat and ball. Stokes is playing as a pure batter in this tournament. HE also revealed that he has been suffering from. "exercise-induced asthma" during the World Cup. He was pictured using an inhaler during a training session before England's defeat to Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, after doing shuttle runs on the outfield. "Sometimes it happens when you go to a new city in India where the air is slightly different," he said. "That could be a reason for it: Bangalore, when we actually turned up, just felt a lot fresher. Doing the running that I was doing [shuttle runs on the outfield] does bring it on a lot easier than normal."

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: Ben Stokes on England's troubles

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: There have been multiple dissections of this England squad in the media to try and identify just how it has all gone so horribly wrong. Ben Stokes, though, chose to say it how it is. "We've had a disastrous World Cup. There's no point sugarcoating that, because it's the truth. The problem is that we've been cr*p." There you go.

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: Hello and welcome!

England vs Australia Live Score, ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023: Whoda thunk, eh? Memories of the Ashes for the ages that England hosted earlier this year is still fresh. So much so that Stuart Broad is still going around, regaling television audiences in the UK of stories from that series, and maybe making the layman think that England actually won the Ashes as well. And yet, this match seems a one-sided contest on form. Australia are in the mix for the semi-finals, as you would expect. England are rock bottom in the table with just one win in six matches, something you would have never expected in a thousand years. A victory for Australia would all but assure themselves a spot in the final four but will England shake out of their stupor now that they are facing their historic rivals at the biggest stadium in the world? We will have to wait and find out.
