Follow the latest updates live from the Cricket World Cup match between England and Australia as the two rivals meet at Lord’s with plenty on the line.

England looked to be on course for the semi-finals after a strong start to the World Cup, but defeat against Sri Lanka last time out means that they cannot afford another slip-up against their rivals. Australia meanwhile are sitting pretty in second place behind New Zealand, and a win would send them top of the World Cup table with two matches left to play.

There are further concerns for England though, as the hosts – who are already without the injured Jason Roy – are sweating over the fitness of star bowler Jofra Archer due to a side problem, while the weather could also have an impact on how the match plays out. Follow the latest updates below.
