13th over: Australia 91-3 (Inglis 7, Renshaw 1) It's still kind of thrilling to watch cricket in Australia from the dark of a British November. The technicolour! The light! Just a couple off Atkinson's over.

Good morning Krishnamoorthy V.

"Do we ask Harry Kane to start playing cricket too? Desperate situations, desperate measures and all that." Harry would let no-one down…

12th over: Australia 89-3 (Inglis 6, Renshaw 0) Archer gets his man the ball after Connolly peeled him away for four through backward point. Not a moment Connolly will want to replay too often in his mind.

Connolly gently directs a catch to backward point, mouth open in an O of frustration.

11th over: Australia 84-2 (Connolly 23, Inglis 5) We get a bird's eye view of the Optus stadium, it's an amazing sight, part Death Star, part pocket Simon. Atkinson looks as if he's going to pull off a rare maiden, until Connolly top-edges six.

Good morning Phil Withall! "In an attempt to remain positive, in the face of a performance that is anything but, it's good to know England still have two reviews in hand. Use them wisely and the pressure on the Australian batters may just tell..."

10th over: Australia 78-2 (Connolly 17, Inglis 5) After Archer keeps Inglis quiet for five balls, a glorious cover drive, played late under the nose, beats the chasing Duckett to the rope.

9th over: Australia 74-2 (Connolly 17, Inglis 1) Marsh collects his fifty with a quick single – he's swift for a big man – 29 balls, four sixes, four fours. A difficult innings to compute so early in the morning, but he's taken Australia half way there and at a rapid pace. Fabulous innings. Now Connolly takes the mantle and wooden spoons Overton for six over fine leg. Astonishing!

A pick up too many, as this time the ball falls safely into the hands of Ben Duckett loitering at square leg. Marsh gets a rousing reception, what an awesome cameo.

8th over: Australia 65-1 (Marsh 49, Connolly 11) A tidy over from Atkinson, until Marsh advances way out of his crease and square drives four. Australia need just 67.

7th over: Australia 59-1 (Marsh 44, Connolly 10) Jamie Overton gets a go, and Mitch Marsh continues the treatment – hauls the frying pan out of the drawer and and tonks him for six. Not a crowd catch in the bag yet. Overton runs down in his follow through later in the over and attempts to kick the ball at the stumps. Two enormous brick houses briefly bristle at each other.

6th over: Australia 32-1 (Marsh 40, Connolly 7) Mitch Marsh is in the mood. His arms are telegraph poles and he's got his enormous dancing boots on – six more is flayed through midwicket and another four through cover point. Gus Atkinson looks glum.

5th over: Australia 32-1 (Marsh 24, Connolly 7) England let a chance slip through their fingers as Connolly mishits the ball high above the stadium roof and Tom Banton tracks it, like a circling hawk, but loses his way as it falls ,and and ends up belly up on the grass, prize just out of hand. Four through the covers for Connolly earlier in the over too.

4th over: Australia 26-1 (Marsh 24, Connolly 1) Just three off a tidy over from Atkinson.

3rd over: Australia 23-1 (Marsh 22, Connolly 0) Archer starts with a wide but Marsh swoops into the second ball, yee-haaring it over point for four, cape flowing. A beauty beats the outside edge, but Marsh responds with a swivel, pick up and heave for six off the front foot – an enormous shot, a good 15 rows back. And another one, caught in the crowd.

2nd over: Australia 6-1 (Marsh 6, Connolly 0) A wicket maiden from Atkinson, round the wicket, Head trying to drive him on the march, but has to turn on his heel instead.

A fuller length wins the prize! Head gets a thick edge and hears the death rattle. Atkinson's first ball dismisses Head first ball.

1st over: Australia 6-0 (Marsh 6, Head 0) England play their trump card from the off, Jofra Archer starts with three beauties, but Marsh advances to the fourth and carves him for four. A lofted plonk brings a couple and he is hit in the guts to finish. Does he flinch? Does he heck.

slight deja vu this morning to wake up to England collapsing at Perth . A hugely impressive performance from Mahli Beardman - the best ODI figures for Australian on debut.

He looked the part too, a lovely action, smooth as silk, tying up England who found themselves stuck in the crease and gave the slips chocolate drops.

The tail gave England a bit of a boost but it is going to be a tricky old challenge ahead. Anyway, here are the players, let's see how they do.

Thanks a lot for following along as our gaze at least temporarily turned away from cricket controversies and back to some present-day on-field action. Tanya Aldred will take you through England's attempts to claim early wickets that will surely decide whether they are any hope to contain Australia's chase.

It is less than a year since England collapsed at Perth Stadium in the first Test of last summer's Ashes. While the stakes might not have been as high in this ODI series opener at the same venue, the manner of the tourists' dismissals were too often familiar.

Mahli Beardman finished with six wickets and three of them caught by Josh Inglis behind the stumps, while Jack Edwards grasped two more in the gully off the young quick as England stayed committed to attacking deliveries travelling outside off-stump. Inglis gloved five catches and Edwards finished with a third.

Tom Barton (25) looked shaky early before settling into his knock, while Will Jacks (25) and Gus Atkinson (29) combined late in the innings to push their side into triple figures and help set Australia a 132-run target.

Mahil Beardman is the young man of the moment after taking six wickets on his ODI debut and in front of home fans in Perth. The 21-year-old is speaking with Mike Hussey on Kayo Cricket.

I'm not sure what's just happened. It all happened very quickly. But it's just a great privilege and honour to able to represent my country and to be able to take a few wickets as well is just the cherry on top.

The first one, Harry Brook was a nice one, just to get off the mark. I think anytime you get your first one there's a bit of weight off the shoulders.

The first ball is always just hit the mark … but everything started to feel pretty natural and it's obviously a great group be around. Mitch is such an incredible leader so he helped calm those nerves.

Mahli Beardman has six wickets on debut and the best figures by an Australian in his first ODI. Archer swings hard at a delivery outside off and just as fitting is the thick edge that takes the ball in the air behind the stumps. Edwards has been good in the gully and pulls in another as the 21-year-old fast bowler finishes with 6 for 24 from 7.4 overs.

WICKET! Archer c Edwards b Beardman 11

33rd over: England 127-9 (Atkinson 29, Archer 7) SIX! The first of the innings. Renshaw pounces on the ball and throws down the stumps at the non-striker's end just after Archer jogs across the crease. That would have capped a horror England innings. Atkinson takes command from there as Johnson keeps dropping too short – first with two from a pull to fine leg, four with a better pull in the air to deep midwicket, and an intentional airborne cut to deep point. Then the best of the bunch with a monster pull that clears the rope. 18 from the over and just what England needed.

32nd over: England 109-9 (Atkinson 13, Archer 6) Beardman is thrown the ball. And why wouldn't he be with five wickets already in the bag and one more needed for the most on ODI debut by an Australian. Tony Dodemaide's 5 for 21 against Sri Lanka at the Waca in 1988 stand as the figures to beat. Archer's single from the last ball of the over takes Beardman to 5 for 20.

31st over: England 107-9 (Atkinson 13, Archer 5) Jacks looked like the key to England posting a defendable total as he eased to 25 without taking too many risks from the 47 balls faced. Probably time for Atkinson and Archer to open up from here, and the latter begins with a creative cut to the rope at deep backward point.

Jacks flicks the wrists at a delivery pitched outside off-stump and the faintest of edges carries through to Inglis. The all-rounder is gone first ball after drinks.

30th over: England 102-8 (Jacks 25, Atkinson 13) England bring up a hundred though the eight in the neighbouring column is surely more of a concern. Both batters pick up a pair of singles. That's drinks.

29th over: England 98-8 (Jacks 23, Atkinson 11) Jacks steps back to swat Edwards back down the ground for the first boundary in more than four overs. England are otherwise crawling along but triple figures is now within reach as they aim to avoid being dismissed for under 100 for just the seventh time.

28th over: England 94-8 (Jacks 19, Atkinson 11) Atkinson is in an unfamiliar position of trying to contain his more assertive batting style as Zampa has him camped in the crease. The England quick finally picks up a single to midwicket and Jacks adds another with a prod down the ground.

27th over: England 91-8 (Jacks 18, Atkinson 10) Edwards continues with a change of ends. Jacks has been able to keep the scoreboard ticking over but is content to see out a second consecutive maiden. This is already the highest partnership of the innings at 26 runs.

26th over: England 91-8 (Jacks 18, Atkinson 10) Australia turn to spin for the first time in the series as Adam Zampa is thrown the ball with Jacks and Atkinson starting to settle. The leg-spinner's opener drifts, finds a little turn and rises quickly out of the surface as Atkinson has no idea what he has just witnessed but somehow survives. Zampa starts with a maiden.

25th over: England 91-8 (Jacks 18, Atkinson 10) Bartlett bowls out his 10 overs at the halfway mark of the England innings. Jacks smacks a fuller ball back down the ground and Johnson's dive at mid-on fails to stop it reaching the rope. Bartlett finishes with 1 for 46.

24th over: England 85-8 (Jacks 13, Atkinson 9) Jacks looks comfortable facing up to Edwards' deliveries hovering around 125km/h. The all-rounder pulls for two to deep midwicket and keeps the strike with a single whipped off the pads and into the deep.

23rd over: England 81-8 (Jacks 10, Atkinson 8) England's best over for a while as Jacks and Atkinson work Johnson around to add five runs to the meagre total. They have plenty of overs left to get the score up to a more defendable 150-odd, and even from the lower order Jacks can turn to six half-centuries in his previous 33 ODIs.

22nd over: England 76-8 (Jacks 7, Atkinson 7) Jack Edwards takes over from Beardman for his first spell of the game and with England on the ropes. Atkinson might appreciate the slower pace on the ball but has difficulty getting clean bat on ball with a wide and a single from a thick edge the only additions to the score.

21st over: England 74-8 (Jacks 7, Atkinson 6) Xavier Bartlett is back as Mitch Marsh looks to wrap up the innings quickly. Gus Atkinson watches the first ball carefully before unleashing on a wider delivery that he hammers through cover for just the eighth boundary of the innings. Atkinson is unsure how to deal with a straight ball pitched at an awkward length as his half pull, half defensive prod takes a top edge the balloons up but drops safely between three scampering Australians.

"How good is it for the soul of Australian Cricket that Beardman's done this today of all days? Hope is kindled."

20th over: England 67-8 (Jacks 6, Atkinson 0) Beardman is out to take the most wickets for an Australian on ODI debut but is unable to find his sixth scalp just yet as Jacks picks up two with a clip through midwicket.

Spencer Johnson gets his reward for some quality bowling as he tall pacer leaps high to pull down a screamer with one hand. Overton was in two minds with a pull shot that turned into a tennis swipe.

19th over: England 65-8 (Jacks 4, Atkinson 0)

18th over: England 63-7 (Jacks 3, Overton 3) Beardman is having a debut to remember as he ends his fifth over with 5 for 16. Dawson is the latest to go before Jamie Overton shows his top order how its down as he smashes a first ball faced for three through midwicket.

Mahil Beardman becomes the second Australian to take a five-for on his ODI debut as he picks up the wicket of Liam Dawson. A drive away from the body slices off a thick edge for Edwards to grasp at backward point.

17th over: England 59-6 (Jacks 2, Dawson 0) Jacks pulls Johnson for a single but England have little choice now but to try to occupy the crease for as long as possible. Dawson blocks out the rest of the over.

16th over: England 58-6 (Jacks 1, Dawson 0) Beardman picks up where he left off in the previous over as he lures Jordan Cox into a half-hearted drive and claims his third wicket. A hat-trick ball drifts down leg as Jacks swings away to encourage Inglis into a hopeful appeal but the umpire calls a wide. Curran drives straight back to Beardman who throws the stumps down just as the England all-rounder steps back into his crease. But he gets his man in more traditional fashion with a short ball and a wild hook that is caught on the rope.
