johnny bairstow also fell in the first hour. to you know who, ben stokes. when we take a look at the way that ben stokes batted, keep in mind he is limited physically. he's had treatment throughout the day. looks like a kind of lower back issue, but he batted the way we saw before. australia have a young spin bowler in their team here, todd murphy, replacing nathan lyon. he got a bit of punishment. he would say he took one wicket and it was ben stokes's, but by the end of the innings, england called their way back into it. 26 runs behind. one way or another, gavin, they spread their way back to the match. share another, gavin, they spread their way back to the match.— way back to the match. are they doinu so way back to the match. are they doing so far _ way back to the match. are they doing so far with _ way back to the match. are they doing so far with the _ way back to the match. are they doing so far with the wickets? . way back to the match. are they i doing so far with the wickets? one of the crucial ones to go from the au

johnny bairstow. smith gone for 71. later on crutches on the touchline. we still don't have an update on the extent of that injury, but the fans will obviously be hoping that it's not as serious as a first look. it did look really bad. that would be a great shame notjust for keira, but for england, because she is so integral to how they play. it overshadowed what was an otherwise really positive performance from england, much improved from the win over haiti. the player everyone is talking about is laurenjames. she was brought into the side by sarina wiegman for this match. it was a decision that was vindicated almost immediately after that goal after six minutes. she is broke into the england team after the euros, so if you're not from england, you may not be aware of her as much. she really has announced herself on the main stage now. those three points for england were not enough to see them through to the knockout stages yet, china have made them wait. england need to regroup after that denmark game. they have to av
