Moeen slams three sixes off Maxwell – just what England needed!

A 20-run over – 78 needed from 36

Adam Zampa bags his second wicket. Adam throws his signature delivery – good length area and the ball tends to skid on quickly and that’s where England lost 2 quick wickets.

Australia finally gets the first breakthrough

Record Alert!!

The highest successful T20I chase at Bridgetown was 172/6 by West Indies against England last year – England’s target today is 202

Here’s David Warner, whose ballistics in the powerplay kickstarted Australia’s total of 201 for 7.

“Very competitive, have to take on the first six but the way England brought it back there we knew there would have been spin up front, but it was about taking the first six on, that’s our job. They’ve got two out-and-out quicks with excellent skill, if you put pressure on them you can get the edge. Jof’s off-cutter, back of a length, it jumps. You’ve got to execute.”

Australia gives a fabulous batting performance after a shaky start. They have adapted well to the situation now it will be interesting to see how England’s batters turn out in this competitive chase of 201 runs.

🚨 100 T20 WICKETS FOR ENGLAND 🚨

Will Australia cross the 200 run mark against England?

Maxwell tries to create length but couldn’t get the elevation or the distance. He walks away for 28 off 25

Sharp spin from Livingstone and great work by Buttler behind the stumps brings an important breakthrough for England. Marsh walks away for 35 off 25.

Australia has done well to keep the run rate over 10. The duo of marsh and maxwell looking to spell trouble for England.

Maxwell is trying to fire here. Him staying till the end will be crucial for Australia.

After two quick wickets, England has pulled back things together. Mitchell Marsh (17) and Glenn Maxwell (9) can hold strong partnerships seeing their great form in recent games.

💥 ONE DOWN! 💥

Travis Head and David Warner off to a flying start

Starc was instrumental in helping Kolkata Knight Riders win the Indian Premier League final last month over Cummins’ Hyderabad team and claim the biggest prize in franchise cricket.

England has two of the fastest bowlers in cricket — Barbados-born Jofra Archer, who is returning from a long-term injury, and Mark Wood.
