One-Day International
Continued live coverage from Lord's of the third one-day international.
England v Australia
England captain Graham Gooch made a marvellous 136 when the team last played against
Australia at Lord's in a one-day international four years ago. A similar feat would do wonders for English confidence before the Ashes series, which starts next week, after the disappointment of their winter tour to India and Sri Lanka.
However, Australian skipper Allan Border also has happy memories of that 1989 match - he contributed 53 in a six-wicket victory for the tourists.
