Your support makes all the difference.England's faltering World Cup campaign veered further off track as old rivals Australia booked their place in the semi-finals with a 64-run victory at Lord's.
After misadventures against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, England ran aground when chasing for the third time in the tournament, dismissed for an error-strewn 221.
With India and New Zealand still to play, there is now minimal leeway if the world's number one side are to reach the semi-finals of their own competition.
Right - the toss is right around the corner.
It looks a bowl first pitch and a bowl first morning, and we know Eoin Morgan and England's preferred strategy is to chase.
Out to the middle the affable Irishman wanders with opposite number Aaron Finch...
England are unchanged.
No Liam Plunkett, then, with Moeen Ali retaining his place.
Eoin Morgan: "It's not a no-brainer, but we've haven't seen much sun down south so it might do a bit this morning."
Aaron Finch confirms there are two changes for Australia. Nathan Lyon and Jason Behrendorff play, Adam Zampa and Nathan Coulter-Nile do not.
Team News
England: Jonny Bairstow, James Vince, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (wk), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood
Australia: Aaron Finch (c), David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Jason Behrendorff
This is Nathan Lyon's World Cup debut, by the way. No leg-spinner for Aaron Finch to call upon in the middle overs, but Lyon should keep things relatively tight and Adam Zampa hasn't had the tournament he'd have hoped for.
Jason Behrendorff may well take the new ball later on. Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins' proficiency means his job will be more of a supporting role. Expect England to target his overs.
England's new ball pair have bowled really nicely so far in the tournament, and you'd imagine they'll relish what seem to be favourable conditions this morning. Australia have great strength in their top order and early breakthroughs will be key.
Jofra Archer is certainly a man of many talents...
Perhaps England's best bowler so far in the tournament has been Mark Wood. For all the talk of Archer's pace, it has been lost in the shuffle that Wood has been consistently faster than the Barbados-born quick, and his ability to skid the ball has challenged batsmen throughout, particularly at the death.
Four quick bowlers capable of topping 90mph with regularity on show today, on a surface that should offer some nip and bounce - this should be fun.
