That, from Mitch Starc to Ben Stokes, has to be one of the best yorkers you will see. Almost certainly the ball that guarantees Australia a place in the semi-final.

I had predicted before the tournament that Starc would repeat what he did in the 2015 World Cup. https://t.co/Xepf0FRy6A

England will now have to defeat atleast one of the two unbeaten teams in the tournament so far to qualify for the semi-finals. What a turnaround it’s been for them. Congratulations Australia on a wonderful win. ##EngvAus
