Finch ton powers win over England, secures semi spot: 2019 WC #32 (Lords)

Skipper Aaron Finch smashed a century as England's World Cup hopes were left in the balance after a crushing 64 run defeat by Australia at Lord's.

Finch's 100 helped his team to 173-1 but a middle order collapse saw them close at 285-7.

In reply, England's top order collapsed to 53-4. Ben Stokes played a virtually lone hand for 89 as England ended on 221 all out.

Australia 285 for 7 (Finch 100, Warner 53, Woakes 2-46) beat England 221 (Stokes 89, Behrendorff 5-44, Starc 4-43) by 64 runs.
