Key posts
England sets Australia 352 to win
Archer smashed 12 runs off the last three balls and that meant England has posted a Champions Trophy record score of 8-351.
But on this batting friendly wicket, Australia will have a chase to chase down this score if they bat well.
Duckett finished on 165, Root had 68.
Dwarshuis 3-66, Zampa 2-68 and Labuschagne 2-41 were the best bowlers.

WICKET: Labuschagne has another wicket
Carse is out, he couldn’t read another low on from Marnus who turned and chased down the skied ball and caught it.
He has two 2-28 from 4.2 overs, surely Australia won’t bowl England out?
England are 8-338 with four balls left.
England on 7-336 with an over to go
Archer smashed Ellis for a boundary from the last ball of his innings.
Now Labuschagne is bowling the last over. He has 1-26.
England has six balls left.
WICKET: Marnus gets Duckett for 165
Marnus has snared Duckett with a straight one went low.
Labuschagne is bowling his fourth over and I’m not sure if he was trying for a flipper or a wrong’un but it went over Duckett’s bat as he attempted to sweep.
He went to the DRS but was no chance as it was hitting the stumps.
Wonderful knock from Duckett, brilliant wicket for Marnus. A score of 350 now looks a little in doubt unless England smashes some sixes.
England are 7-322 from 47.2 overs.
WICKET: Livingstone is out
Livingstone has been caught in the deep by Ellis off the bowling of Dwarshuis who now has 3-61.
That will be a speed hump for England’s hopes of 350 but they still have some big hitters left in their lower order.
England are on 6-316 from 46.4 overs.

Zampa is bowled out
Zampa has bowled his 10 overs and finished with 2-64, excellent results on such a tough wicket to bowl on.
Now the quicks and part-timers need to handle the last four overs.
It feels like the game will be won and lost here, especially if England don’t make a huge score.
England are 5-315 from 46.1 overs.

Livingstone survives
Livingstone got the edge of his bat on the ball and that has saved him from going out lbw.
Tough for Ellis who has battled hard.
England are 5-303 from 45 overs.
Is Livingstone out?
Ellis looks to have trapped Livingstone lbw but the England star has asked for DRS as soon as he was given out.
Let’s see if he will get a reprieve.
England are 5-303.
Duckett sets new record
Duckett has passed Nathan Astle (NZ) and Andy Flower (ZIM), both 145 runs, for the highest score in the Champions Trophy after reaching 146 runs.
Liam Livingston is on four runs from six runs.

Labuschagne bowled the 43rd over, perhaps that will cover one of Johnson’s overs.
If England makes 10 runs an over from here, they could reach 360.
England are on 5-299 from 44 overs.
WICKET: Buttler is out
Buttler has been caught out off Glenn Maxwell’s bowling with Nathan Ellis pulling in the catch in the deep.
Huge moment as Buttler is looked dangerous.
How much will this wicket cost England?
England are 5-283 from 41.4 overs.
