| 1.5 : 1.5: Josh Hazlewood to Tom Banton, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Hazlewood is back into the team and back against the wicket. Banton's poor T20I series comes to an end. A good delivery this. It is fuller, inviting Banton to go for it. He does so. Looks to go hard downtown but it shapes away in the end. Takes the outside edge and goes into the mitts of Wade. Early wicket for Australia. Good start for them. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Mitchell Starc to Dawid Malan, FOUR! Poor ball and put away! It is short and on the pads, Malan has no problem to nudge it behind square on the leg side for a boundary. First of the innings! |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Josh Hazlewood to Dawid Malan, FOUR! TOP EDGE! Lucky runs! Shorter and on the helmet. Well-directed bumper. Malan looks to pull but gets a top edge which goes down to the fine leg fence. |
| 5.5 : FOUR! He does get it away but it is off the edge! Another full toss from Hazlewood. Bairstow is probably guilty of going a little too hard at it. It goes off the inner edge towards the fine leg fence. Welcome boundary. |
| FOUR! Smashed! This is right off the middle and Bairstow would hope this gets him going. Shorter and on middle, Jonny drags it through mid-wicket and it races away to the fence. That is right off the middle. |
| FOUR! The reverse sweep this time! Nails it! It is uppish but wide of point and it races away to the fence. Good start to the over. 6 from the first two balls. |
| FOUR! Catch is the cry but it is in the gap! Fifty up for England, it has taken time but they have not lost a wicket. Shorter and outside off, Jonny cuts, it goes uppishly through backward point for a boundary. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Adam Zampa to Dawid Malan, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent catch from Stoinis! Flighted delivery on middle, Malan plays a slog sweep over mid-wicket but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards mid-wicket where Stoinis comes forward and takes a good catch diving forward. Timely wicket and an important one as England just started to score runs a little quickly and Malan is in good form. Also, this should make Zampa feel realyl good as he hasn't been at his best. Especially Malan who has given |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Ashton Agar to Jonny Bairstow, SIX! That is nailed! Bairstow comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and hits it against the turn, over the mid-wicket fence. Lovely from Bairstow. He is starting to find the middle now. |
| 10.6 : Adam Zampa to Jonny Bairstow. SIX! BANG! That is some hit! Excellent start to the over. A slog sweep is brought out and it is middled. It flies over the mid-wicket fence for a huge one. Zampa showed good courage to tosses it up but this time he has been dispateched. |
| Adam Zampa to Sam Billings. OUT! Zampa has another one! Excellent from Finch! He just got a slip in to attack the new batter and there is where the catch went. Zampa once again tosses it up nicely. It lands on off and spins away. Billings looks to play the reverse sweep but there is extra bounce. It goes off the glove and towards first slip where Finch takes it. Once again as England start getting a move on, Australia break through. |

| 13.3 : 13.3: Ashton Agar to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! TAKEN! That is a brilliant, brilliant catch from Agar! He gets the big wicket of Bairstow. This is slightly shorter in length and on middle, Bairstow looks to pull but this holds up on the wicket, it also turns a little and there is extra bounce. It hits the top edge and lobs towards mid-wicket. Agar runs towards the ball and takes a very good catch. Australia continue to ramin on top with timely wickets. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: Ashton Agar to Moeen Ali, FOUR! Edgy! Quicker and outside off, Ali looks to push at it but it goes off the outside edge to the right of short third man. Zampa there runs to that direction, dives but only manages to get a hand to it. It goes to the fence. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Adam Zampa to Moeen Ali, SIX! Amazing shot! Flighted delivery on middle, Ali comes down the track and lofts it straight over the bowler's head for a biggie. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Adam Zampa to Joe Denly, FOUR! Full delivery outside off, Denly comes down the track and lofts it over long off for a boundary. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Mitchell Starc to Moeen Ali, OUT! CAUGHT! Terrific catch by Smith! He has taken it cleanly. Full delivery on middle, Ali lofts it over mid-wicket but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards the fielder where Smith takes the catch just inside the ropes. He realizes he is losing his balance and throws it up in the air, regains his balance and then takes it. They are checking whether it has been taken cleanly or not. It is referred upstairs. The replays show that Smith has done well |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Kane Richardson to Joe Denly, FOUR! Richardson bowls a slower ball on middle, Denly looks to pull but gets an inside edge. It goes towards fine leg for a boundary. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Kane Richardson to Joe Denly, FOUR! Slower delivery on off, Denly looks to punch but gets an outside edge which goes between short third man and keeper for a boundary. |

| 3.1 : 3.1: Mark Wood to Matthew Wade, OUT! TAKEN! Wade's entertaining short knock comes to an end! England get the wicket they needed. It is short from Wood. It hurries onto the batter. Wade is a touch late in the pull. It goes off the splice towards mid on where the fielder makes no mistake. Can England build on this now? 115 more needed. |

| 7.1 : 7.1: Tom Curran to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! CAUGHT! Stoinis departs! Length delivery on middle, Stoinis looks to loft it over mid-wicket but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards the fielder where Tom Banton takes a comfortable catch. |

| 10.4 : 10.4: Adil Rashid to Aaron Finch, OUT! TIMBER! Rashdi has given England a sniff here! What an over this is! Two wickets in it. This is abeauty. A googly, which is tossed up on off. Finch does not pick it and looks to go against the turn over covers. It turns back in and hits the stumps. Is this going to be another collapse? Surely not! |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Joe Denly to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Was there a chance at first slip? Not sure. Tossed up delivery on off, Marsh looks to guide but gets an outside edge. It goes towards first slip where Dawid Malan tries to take the catch but it goes through him towards third man for a boundary. |
