ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 news LIVE: Australia vs West Indies score and latest updates

The 2019 Cricket World Cup is fully up and running and we've already had a first big shock involving England.

Hosts England come into the tournament as the number-one ranked ODI side in the world but were beaten by 14 runs on Monday as Pakistan ended an 11-match losing stream in completed ODIs.

On Wednesday, New Zealand scraped a nervy World Cup win over Bangladesh as Ross Taylor marked his 400th international match with a crucial half-century.

They were made to fight for it but the Black Caps edged to a two-wicket win with 17 balls remaining.

In Southampton, India inflicted a six-wicket defeat on South Africa to leave the Proteas' World Cup chances hanging by a thread.

Today Australia face West Indies at Trent Bridge.
