- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 gone, stumps out of the ground...! Another offcutter, much fuller and sliding under the bat to crash into middle and off - Head is lopped off, Archer hits back again for England! What a high-octane start this has been 74/24.6 bowled 'im, stays low and skids on! England finally have a moment to breathe. Warner caught on the crease when he perhaps should have been forward, the ball grips and scuttles into middle and off halfway up 70/113.5 lovely loopy legbreak! Is this a stumping? Marsh was initially walking. Beautiful shape from Livingstone, a hint of drift to leg to open up the batter, then sharp spin past a big hack. Buttler reaches the bails before the toe can get back into the crease, albeit at the second attempt. Critical breakthrough for England! 139/314.2 leans back, nailed to deep midwicket! Salt didn't have to move! Maxwell was right back in his crease, creating length that didn't exist, and he couldn't get the requisite elevation. A double-whammy dents Australia's surge 141/419.4 spliced to Brook at wide long-on! Jordan strikes in his final over for his 100th T20I wicket! Hitting the pitch on a leg-stump line, Stoinis was cramped on the pull and couldn't get the leverage. Still, an important hand 200/616.5 this time the long boundary is David's downfall! More width from Jordan, forcing Australia to take it on, but David's uppish thrash is into the wind, and Livingstone is well placed inside the rope at deep cover. England continue to nibble away through the back end 168/519.5 slower-ball bouncer, Cummins turns down the run! Wade rushed through, determined to get on strike for the final ball, but the lob from Buttler behind the stumps found Jordan who did the needful at the bowler's end 200/7Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL201/7 (20 Overs, RR: 10.05)Fall of wickets: 1-70 (David Warner, 4.6 ov), 2-74 (Travis Head, 5.4 ov), 3-139 (Mitchell Marsh, 13.5 ov), 4-141 (Glenn Maxwell, 14.2 ov), 5-168 (Tim David, 16.5 ov), 6-200 (Marcus Stoinis, 19.4 ov), 7-200 (Pat Cummins, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 strikes first ball! Bail-shaver does for Salt! He looks disbelieving, as if wondering whether Wade had nudged them off - but he has to go. Skiddy legbreak and it beats a cross-batted swipe playing back, flicking the off bail on its way through 73/19.5 reversed... straight to backward point! Buttler's strength becomes his weakness and Zampa is cock-a-hoop! Another big wind-up as he looked to heave this away but didn't time it, allowing Cummins to set himself for a head-height catch. Australia have hooked the big fish 92/210.5 smashed to long-off, Starc clings on brilliantly! Jacks threw the kitchen sink at that, but it was a slower ball, a touch high on the blade, and Starc judged it wonderfully, flinging himself forward to scoop it inches from the turf! 96/314.1 into the pitch, Bairstow holes out at wide long-on! A wipe from outside off, and so ends a non-starter of an innings from YJB. Maxwell gives the England fans behind him a wave after presumably taking some bird for his previous over 124/415.4 slashed in the air to deep cover! Warner tracks around, staring into the sun, but the ball hangs up in the breeze, it's sliced out into the off-side, and England's dangerman is gone! Super bowling from Cummins, hiding the ball outside off, demanding that Moeen took on the long side, and he failed 128/518.5 back of a length, pace off, flogged through the line, straight to Starc at long-off! An ugly innings ends, and England are already in need of snookers 152/6Extras8 (lb 3, w 5)TOTAL165/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-73 (Phil Salt, 7.1 ov), 2-92 (Jos Buttler, 9.5 ov), 3-96 (Will Jacks, 10.5 ov), 4-124 (Jonny Bairstow, 14.1 ov), 5-128 (Moeen Ali, 15.4 ov), 6-152 (Liam Livingstone, 18.5 ov)
