Australia captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and elected to field at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday, November 15. England made the most of the batting-friendly conditions and posted 355/6 in 50 overs, their highest-ever ODI total on Australian soil. The visitors put themselves in a strong position in the match.
Joe Root reacted sharply at first slip, diving to his left and completing a brilliant two-handed catch. The veteran batter plucked the ball out of thin air as Marsh departed. Baker was visibly delighted after claiming his first wicket of the innings.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan praised Baker's energy and ability to move the ball in both directions while commenting on Australia's difficult start during Test Match Special.
Sonny Baker reminds me of a young Darren Gough - he bustles it, can move it both ways and has a real energy. Gough lit up Australia on a couple of tours in the 90s. Australia are panicking."
