Talk live with other fans:
England snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as Michael Bevan and Andy Bichel carry Australia to a nail-biting win.
They share an unbroken stand of 73 after England had reduced them to 135-8.
Bevan makes 74 not out and Bichel finishes on 34 after taking 7-20 earlier in the day - the second best figures in World Cup history.
50th over: England need two wickets from Flintoff - Australia need two runs. He is unable to hold a stinging return catch offered by Bichel from the second ball. A mis-field by Vaughan gifts Australia a single. Bevan puts away a full toss for four to see Australia home.
49th over: Huge responsibility on Anderson's shoulders with Australia now needing more than a run per ball. The situation soon changes as Bichel slogs over mid-wicket for six and adds four from the next ball.
48th over: Australia require 17 off 18 balls as Giles trundles in again. He gets away with a long hop as Bevan mis-cues a pull and can only pick up one. Only three runs come from the over.
47th over: Bichel plays Anderson to third man for one as the partnership with Bevan reaches 50. Bevan slices to the exposed backward point boundary but brilliant fielding by Giles keeps Australia to three.
46th over: Flintoff's latest spell lasts one over as Giles resumes. Australia can only add four singles - they need another 23 from the last four overs.
45th over: Hussain turns again to Caddick but Bichel drills back past the stumps for four runs.
44th over: Flintoff replaces Giles - his first ball is short of a length and Bevan cuts to the backward point boundary. Australia need 33 from the final six overs.
43rd over: Bevan charges Anderson and lofts into the covers but it only brings him one run. Bichel digs out a yorker and pinches another single.
42nd over: Only three runs come from Giles' over but Australia are still in the hunt with 45 needed from 48 balls.
41st over: Another boundary as Bevan flicks Anderson to fine leg. Caddick prevents another with a diving save at mid-off but the single takes Bevan to 50 off 101 balls.
40th over: Bevan uses his feet superbly before lifting Giles over mid-wicket for four. A single to long on takes Australia's total to 150.
39th over: The singing of the Barmy Army rings around St George's Park as Anderson returns to the attack. He drops short and Bichel square cuts powerfully for four.
38th over: Massive celebrations for England as Lee is run out. White picks up and throws accurately for Stewart to remove the stumps.
37th over: White completes his 10th over, returning figures of one for 21.
36th over: Hussain persists with a defensive field despite Australia's precarious position. Australia collect four singles.
35th over: White has Lee in all sorts of trouble and he is unlucky not to have a second wicket when the Australian slashes and misses.
34th over: Bevan takes on Giles and crashes the first delivery of the over for six.
33rd over: Brett Lee is the new batsman and he is relieved to see an inside edge miss the stumps.

29th over: White gets one to move off the seam tempting Lehmann into an edge. Stewart takes an athletic diving catch.

27th over: Australia are beginning to cut loose as Bevan drives White for four.
26th over: Giles is replaced after just one over by Michael Vaughan. A single from Bevan brings up the 50 partnership. Australia reach 100 with a well-placed cut from Lehmann for four.
25th over: White has Australia on the defensive again, allowing just the single.
24th over: Ashley Giles replaces Flintoff. It is an expensive first over for the spinner as he conceded six runs and four legbyes, including a driven four from Lehmann.

19th over: Craig White replaces Anderson at the Park Drive End. He has Bevan beaten in an tidy opening over.
18th over: Another excellent over from Flintoff, who delivers five dot balls before Bevan nudges a single. The England all-rounder has conceded only 10 runs in six overs.

15th over: It is Caddick's turn for an lbw appeal, this time against Bevan, but the umpire is right not to be interested.

12th over: Bevan takes a swing at a Flintoff delivery but it just misses the edge.

9th over: Lehmann pushes at a perfect Caddick delivery and is lucky to see it fall short of second slip.

4th over: Anderson leads a loud shout for lbw against Ricky Ponting, and looks unlucky to have the appeal turned down.

2nd over: Adam Gilchrist flashes away through extra cover for his first boundary off the bowling of James Anderson. An away-swinger has the left-hander edging just beyond Flintoff at second slip but he emphatically dispatches the final delivery for four.
1st over: Andy Caddick opens the bowling for England and begins with a wide which almost veers to first slip.
50th over: Singles come the opening two balls of Lee's over and White then brings up the 200 with four off the outside edge. White tries a final ball slog but fails to connect.
49th over: The penultimate over of the innings but McGrath is still able to find movement off the seam. White adds a tip and run single from the final ball to retain the strike.
48th over: England need boundaries but Lee whistles a yorker narrowly past Caddick's leg stump. White plays off his hip for a single to long leg.

47th over: Giles tries to hit Bichel over mid-off but fails to clear the outstretched fingers of a leaping Michael Bevan.

44th over: Lehmann concedes only two runs to complete his 10 overs with excellent figures of 10-0-34-0.
43rd over: Bichel gets his fifth wicket, Flintoff's slog flying straight into the air for Gilchrist to take an easy catch.
42nd over: A second catch chance goes down for Australia, Ponting the culprit as Flintoff mistimes a pull and a running Australia captain cannot quite reach.
41st over: Bichel recovers from his tumble and returns to the attack as Australia look to break this partnership. Stewart edges the final delivery just beyond the outstretched glove of Gilchrist.
40th over: Stewart hits the first boundary of his innings. Australia are concerned about Bichel who looks to have hurt himself diving to save a four.
39th over: The captain keeps faith with Symonds but he persists with short medium-paced deliveries. It is easy pickings for England who must be delighted with Ponting's decision.
38th over: Lehmann keeps it tight from the Duckpond End. Will Ponting stick with Symonds?
37th over: Andrew Symonds' medium pace replaces Hogg. Flintoff flicks a poorly directed second delivery to deep fine leg for four. And the England batsman pulls another tempting ball over the ropes and into the stands.
36th over: England are beginning to look more comfortable as five singles come from Lehmann's sixth over.

28th over: Australia are very sharp in the field and a series of diving stops have prevented more England runs.
27th over: Flintoff goes on the attack in his intriguing contest with Hogg. But after playing and missing a couple of times, he can only grab a single.
26th over: Darren Lehmann replaces Lee. Flintoff is beaten by the final ball of the over.
25th over: Hogg opens with a couple of loose balls but he soon rediscovers his length to restrict England to three singles.
24th over: Lee is convinced Flintoff has edged to Gilchrist but the umpire disagrees.
23rd over: A legbye brings up the 100 for England but it is far from plain sailing. Neither batsmen is picking Hogg, and Gilchrist almost takes a brilliant catch from Stewart's inside edge. He flicks the ball up with his left foot but cannot reach the diving catch.

21st over: A testing maiden over from Hogg who keeps Flintoff guessing.
20th over: England survive Bichel's sixth over. The Australian has figures of four for 12.

18th over: Bichel beats the bat with successive outswingers and gets his reward when Collingwood's patience runs out and his attempted slash flies into Gilchrist's hands

14th over: A sharp single gets Alec Stewart off the mark as he and Paul Collingwood try and settle England nerves.
13th over: England are in danger of crumbling as McGrath gets among the wickets. Trescothick, who had been in impressive form, gives Martyn his second catch of the day.
12th over: Bichel is turning the game on its head and this time has Nasser Hussain walking back to the pavillion after removing the England captain's off-stump.
12th over: Bichel finds a perfect delivery to remove danger man Michael Vaughan, who feathers an edge to Adam Gilchrist behind the stumps.
11th over: Despite Knight's departure, Trescothick continues to shine and whips away his seventh boundary.
10th over: Andy Bichel replaces Lee at the Park Drive End. Bichel makes a half-hearted lbw appeal followed by a much more confident one. The umpire shakes his head but Knight's reprieve is short and he pushes the next delivery to a diving Damien Martyn.
9th over: McGrath finds some sideways movement to deceive Knight with his first ball. Trescothick survives when he edges over Ponting at gully but he finishes the over with a sweetly-timed four.
8th over: The run rate continues to rise as Knight despatches another short delivery from Lee to the fence. Eleven runs come from the over.
7th over: Knight smashes McGrath's first ball down the ground for four as England's run rate approaches nearly seven an over.

5th over: McGrath elects to go around the wicket as Australia bid to stem the flow of runs. He beats Knight's bat with a perfectly angled delivery, but is left muttering when Trescothick collects a four off the final ball.
4th over: Trescothick gets hold of a shorter Lee delivery and pulls it over the stands and out of the ground.
3rd over: Knight, run out for one against India, survives another scare when the Australian cover fielder just misses with a shy at the stumps.

1st over: Glenn McGrath opens the bowling for Australia, with the out-of-form Marcus Trescothick facing. He gets an immediate boost of confidence with successive fours through mid-wicket.
