Australia and England Meet Again in Adelaide, Two Days After Beardman's Perth Debut

Australia and England play the second one-day international of their series in Adelaide on Sunday, with the first ball due at 2pm local time. That is 3:30am GMT, so British fans will need an early start.

A one-day international, or ODI, is a 50-over match. Each side bats once, aiming to score more runs than the other team. The first match of the series was in Perth, where Australia beat England by seven wickets.

England were bowled out for 131 in 33.4 overs. Being bowled out means losing all ten batting wickets, so England's innings ended before they had used their full 50 overs. A batter is out when a wicket falls, and a side with ten wickets down cannot bat any further.

The match belonged to Mahli Beardman. Playing his first ODI for Australia, he took 6 for 24 from 7.4 overs. Six for 24 means he dismissed six England batters while conceding 24 runs. The "7.4" means seven complete overs of six balls each, plus four more deliveries. The Guardian's live coverage describes the figures as a national record.

Australia's win gave them a 1-0 lead in the series. A win in Adelaide would give England a chance to level it. For a side trailing in a series, every match carries that weight.

Adelaide is a different stage for both teams, and a fresh contest. Follow the live updates for ball-by-ball detail, and check back for the result once the final over is bowled.
