Australia vs England, Champions Trophy, 1st semi-final
Bresnan’s best lifts England to 257

Centurion—Tim Bresnan produced the highest score ever made by an England No. 8 in ODI cricket to transform his team’s fortunes after they had flirted with humiliation in their Champions Trophy semi-final against Australia. After winning an important toss, England’s top-order collapsed to 101 for 6 in a blaze of attacking intent before Bresnan joined Luke Wright, who made 48, to add 107 for the seventh wicket. He was eventually bowled for 80 from 76 balls, and though Australia hit back to dismiss England with 14 balls of their innings remaining, they were still left chasing an unexpectedly stiff 258 for a place in Monday’s final.
