England post 247 all out

England made 247 against Australia in Antigua - but wasted a chance to score more from a position of real promise.

Michael Vaughan's men looked in great shape at 164-2 in the 29th over, but despite a brilliant 104 from Kevin Pietersen and 77 from Ian Bell, England's innings lost its impetus.

Ravi Bopara (21) was the only other batsman to reach double figures, with the last eight wickets falling for 83.
