Having lost the toss, Australia is 1-1 with Aaron Finch already back in the sheds for a second-ball duck after a loose shott to Matt Henry was caught at cover.

Finch is in strife in ODI cricket, with his past seven scores being: 0, 5, 5, 1, 15, 0 and 0.

Before play, former selector and Australia great Mark Waugh said on Fox Cricket that time is running out for Finch.

“He would not be in the side if he wasn’t captain.”
