1.1
Cooper Connolly to Will Jacks, FOUR! England attacking the youngster immediately! Cooper Connolly begins with a floater, full and on off, Will Jacks backs away a bit, gets underneath the hall and smacks it over mid off for a boundary. First one of this chase!

Aaron Hardie to Phil Salt, SIX! BANG! Connects this time alright! Short of a length again, but this one sits up nicely for the batter, on middle, Phil Salt gets into a great position early and pulls it away over the deep square leg fence for a biggie.

2.3
Aaron Hardie to Phil Salt, SIX! BOOM! Even bigger and better! Aaron Hardie sees the batter charge and bowls this short again, on middle and leg, Phil Salt is clever here as he fakes the charge forward, but stays in his crease, picks it up off his pads and whips it away nonchalantly over the deep square leg fence again for half a dozen more.

Aaron Hardie to Phil Salt, SIX! THREE IN A ROW NOW! Phil Salt at his best! This is a full delivery, on middle, in the slot as well, easy pickings for the English skipper as he launches it over the long on fence for the third biggie of this over. The biggest one as well!

3.1
Sean Abbott to Will Jacks, OUT! TAKEN! Sean Abbott draws first blood straightaway! This is exactly how Will Jacks got out in the first game and falls early again. Fuller in length and on the pads, takes pace off as well, Will Jacks looks to pick it up and scoop it away, but fails to generate the power required, it goes high up in the air towards deep fine where Jake Fraser-McGurk comes forward and pouches it safely. He was the only fielder in the deep on that side and unfortunately, Jacks picked him up. England lose their first! Will Jacks departs on 12 (10) and England are 34/2 in 3.1 overs.

3.3
Sean Abbott to Jordan Cox, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Sean Abbott with the double whammy! Great setup with the slower one, but goes with pace on this time, hard length and just on off, nips back in sharply, Jordan Cox gets stuck in his crease and gets cut in half as well. Before he can do anything, the ball goes through to rattle the stumps. Cox goes back for a duck! England have now lost two quick wickets in just a span of three deliveries and are now 34/2 in 3.3 overs.

4.1
Marcus Stoinis to Phil Salt, FOUR! Gets it through! Marcus Stoinis bowls this on a good length and just around off, Phil Salt opens the bat face slightly and plays it late as well to steer it between point and short third for a boundary.

4.4
Marcus Stoinis to Liam Livingstone, SIX! Wow..this goes way into the stands! Marcus Stoinis serves this a bit fuller, on middle, Liam Livingstone dances down the track, takes no half-measures and absolutely belts it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

5.2
Sean Abbott to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! A long chase for Inglis but it gets through! Sean Abbott bowls it wide as Livingstone charges down the track, on a length, well outside off, Liam Livingstone looks to drag it to the leg side but inside edges it over the pegs. The ball rolls towards the deep fine region as Josh Inglis gives it a long chase. But, the ball has enough wheels on it to win the race eventually.

5.5
Sean Abbott to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! Races away and evades JFM! Length ball from Abbott around middle and leg, Livingstone stays in his crease, heaves it away on the leg side towards deep square leg, but doesn't connect it properly though, the ball rolls to the left of Jake Fraser-McGurk this time who stretches his left hand but fails to stop the boundary.

5.6
Sean Abbott to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! Superb shot that! Banged it short from Abbott into the wicket, with pace off, Livingstone waits for it, pulls it hard in front of square along the ground between the gap of square leg and mid-wicket for a boundary to end the Powerplay. England are just a couple of runs behind Australia at the end of field restrictions, but they have lost one extra wicket.

6.3
Cameron Green to Phil Salt, FOUR! Nice shot that! Short in length, angling on the leg stump line, Phil Salt whips it across with his wrists and gets it through deep backward square leg for a boundary.

8.2
Matthew Short to Phil Salt, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Matthew Short makes an immediate impact and dismisses the English skipper! Matthew Short drops a flatter one, around the middle and off stump channel, Phil Salt looks to access the area down the ground and attempts to take the aerial route. He though fails to get his bat properly underneath the ball and mistimes it into the air. The ball spoons over the long off region where Sean Abbott takes a comfortable catch. Phil Salt departs on 39 off 23 deliveries and England are in a bit of a pickle at 79/3.

9.6
Adam Zampa to Jacob Bethell, EDGED AND FOUR! A little bit of luck for Bethell and Zampa is not happy with this! Zampa bowls a quicker one, full and flat around off, Jacob Bethell skips down the track to push it to the off side but gets hurried and loses his shape, plays inside the line of the ball and ends up outside edging it through the short third region for a boundary. Halfway into the chase now, and England are 90/3 after 10 overs.

10.3
Cameron Green to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! Extraordinary shot! Cameron Green serves this full and on middle, Liam Livingstone goes down across, changes his grip a bit and scoops it away while falling over, he gets more than enough for it to go to the fine leg fence for a boundary.
6
10.5
Cameron Green to Liam Livingstone, SIX! Gets it over the ropes this time! Cameron Green bowls this on a hard length and around middle, with no fine leg in place, Liam Livingstone moves across a bit again, connects with his scoop well as the ball sails over the fine leg fence for six runs.

11.4
Cooper Connolly to Jacob Bethell, SIX! Jacob Bethell goes big this time now! Tossed up, full and just around off, Jacob Bethell sits down on one knee, and nails his slog sweep over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

12.1
Marcus Stoinis to Liam Livingstone, SIX! Sounds good, and goes well over! Marcus Stoinis serves this right in the slot, on middle, angling in as well, Liam Livingstone stays deep in his crease and throws the kitchen sink at it to whack it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.
6
12.2
Marcus Stoinis to Liam Livingstone, SIX! FIFTY FOR LIVINGSTONE! He gets to it in some style as well. A fantastic half-century in his 50th T20I. Full again and around middle, Liam Livingstone uses his string wrists and whips it over the deep square leg fence for another biggie.
4
12.3
Marcus Stoinis to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! A boundary now! Pressure on Marcus Stoinis! Short of a length and around middle, Liam Livingstone pulls it away, picks the gap perfectly towards the deep square leg fence for four more runs. That brings up the 50-run partnership between these two batters.

13.1
Adam Zampa to Jacob Bethell, FOUR! The youngster joining the party slowly now! Floated, full and around off, Jacob Bethell uses his feet, reaches out for it and drags it away between long on and deep mid-wcket for a boundary.
6
13.2
Adam Zampa to Jacob Bethell, SIX! Oh..wow! You don't see many batters take on Adam Zampa like this! Flighted, full and on middle, Jacob Bethell skips down the track again, gets to the pitch of the ball and with a full swing of the bat and dispatches it high and handsomely over the long on fence for a biggie.

13.3
Adam Zampa to Jacob Bethell, FOUR! Short and punished! Adam Zampa drags his length back and outside off, Jacob Bethell rocks back and crunches it away through extra covers for another boundary.

13.4
Adam Zampa to Jacob Bethell, FOUR! Good effort in the deep but in vain! Short again and on middle, Jacob Bethell moves back and heaves it away wide of deep mid-wicket, Cameron Green runs to his right and dives to push it back inside, but his body touches the ropes while he does that. The TV Umpire is having a look but Cameron Green is very certain that he has saved it. The replays show that his right leg is indeed in contact with the boundary cushions there and it has been called a boundary. 150 up for England with that.

14.5
Sean Abbott to Jacob Bethell, SIX! Man out there but he will just watch it sail it over his head! Sean Abbott bangs this short and angling into the leg side, Jacob Bethell just helps it on its way as the ball flies over the fine leg fence for a biggie.

16.1
Matthew Short to Jacob Bethell, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! The gamble to bring in Matthew Short has worked for Australia and the 90-run stand between Bethell and Livingstone comes to an end. Matthew Short bowls it from around the wickets, and darts in a flatter and a fuller length ball, on the off stump line, Jacob Bethell premeditates the shot, sits down, switches his stance to reverse sweep it away but it is too full to execute that shot and Bethell gets beaten all ends up as the ball clips the outside of off stump. Jacob Bethell departs on an impressive 44 from 24 balls.

16.4
Matthew Short to Sam Curran, OUT! TAKEN! Matthew Short with a double whammy and this is turning out to be a really clever bowling change from Australia! Matthew Short picks up his third wicket and half of the English side is back into the sheds now. Short lands it full and fires it in around off, Sam Curran gets his dancing shoes on and skips down the track to attack aerially. But ends up losing his shape as he tries to hit it too hard. Ends up slicing it over the cover-point region where Cooper Connolly settles underneath, moves backward it and takes a good reverse cup catch. He tumbles with the momentum but sustains the ball in his hands. It was an unnecessary shot from Curran given England are in a comfortable position.

Matthew Short to Liam Livingstone, SIX! STAND AND DELIVER! Liam Livingstone moves into his 80s with that mammoth strike into the crowd! Under double figures is what England need to win now, just a hit away! Matthew Short misses his length and serves a friendly half-volley on the stumps line, Liam Livingstone picks the bones out of it, charges down and spanks it high and handsome, several rows behind long on for a six.

Matthew Short to Liam Livingstone, OUT! BOWLED'EM! A consolation wicket for Australia as Liam Livingstone departs after playing a match-winning knock of 87! A remarkable 50th T20I for Livingstone though! Matthew Short stays around the pegs and darts in a pinpoint yorker on the stumps, Liam Livingstone again charges down to drill it down the ground but misses to connect and the ball goes to shatter the stumps in a blink. Short gets his 4th wicket.

18.5
Matthew Short to Brydon Carse, OUT! IN THE AIR...AND TAKEN! 5-FER FOR SHORT! He has bowled brilliantly in this match and it's a well-deserved one! Matthew Short slows it up, full and around leg stump line, Brydon Carse dances down the track to take the aerial route but is months early in the shot as he gets beaten by the lack of pace. Goes through the shot and gets the connection on the higher part of the willow and the ball travels into the air over the mid-wicket region. Tim David from mid on calls for his catch, runs to his right and takes a good running catch. Matthew Short is on a Hat-Trick now.
