Josh Hazlewood to Jos Buttler, FOUR! First signs of aggression! Hard length, outside off, Jos Buttler sees the width and his eyes light up. He cuts it in front of square, on the up and through cover-point for a boundary.

Josh Hazlewood to Jos Buttler, FOUR! CRACKER OF A SHOT! Good length again, on the off stump line, Jos Buttler walks a couple of steps ahead, swipes it across and through short mid-wicket for a boundary.

Mitchell Starc to Jos Buttler, FOUR! WHAT A SHOT! Mitchell Starc angles it into the batter on a fuller length, on middle and leg channel, Jos Buttler gets underneath and picks it over mid-wicket for a boundary. The ball just lands inches inside the fence.

6.1
Mitchell Starc to Phil Salt, SIX! Oh, that is a big let off and Travis Head was completely unaware of where the ropes were. Mitchell Starc dishes out a full and wide one, Phil Salt throws his hands at it and slashes the ball down to third man where Head back-tracks and takes the catch but steps on the ropes. He does release the ball but by then it was already a maximum.

6.3
Mitchell Starc to Jos Buttler, SIX! Jos Buttler continues his stellar form against Mitchell Starc and sends the ball onto thye roof. Starc rolls his fingers across the ball and just drags back the length a bit around off. Buttler stays deep and shuffles across before whackig it handsomely over wide long on for a biggie.

Mitchell Starc to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Goes for the wide yorker now but serves a full toss instead around off, Jos Buttler uses that bottom hand again and slaps the ball to the right of mid off for another boundary. 17 off the over already.

7.1
Adam Zampa to Phil Salt, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Adam Zampa in a big game for Australia yet again and he gets that vital first wicket for his side. Zampa starts from over the stumps and straightaway goes to the flatter trajectory, bowling it fractionally short and trying to skid it onto middle stump. The ball just turns away ever so slightly and goes through quickly, Phil Salt looks to cut off the back foot but is beaten all ends up and the ball knocks over the top of off and middle.

Pat Cummins to Will Jacks, FOUR! Powered away! Short of a length and outside off, Will Jacks stands tall and gets on top of the rise before swatting it away flat and to the right of Travis Head at short cover for a boundary. Head could have got to it but just seemed to be beaten for pace there.

Adam Zampa to Jos Buttler, SIX! BOOM! Full again and at the stumps, Jos Buttler just clears the front leg a bit and manages to thump the ball flat over the long off fence for a maximum.

Adam Zampa to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Adam Zampa has the last laugh here though and Jos Buttler cannot believe it. Zampa keeps bowling it relatively full but pushes this one a bit quicker through the air and around off stump. Buttler goes for the reverse sweep one too many times and ends up chipping the ball just over point where Pat Cummins just leaps up a bit and takes a sharp catch. Buttler was looking really good but Zampa has got Australia back on top here.

Marcus Stoinis to Will Jacks, OUT! TAKEN! STUNNER FROM STARC! Marcus Stoinis bowls a cross-seamed delivery, on a length around off, Will Jacks flatly airs it over mid off but doesn't get the requisite distance and timing to sail it over the fence. As a result, the ball carries in front of the long off region where Mitchell Starc runs forward and takes a stunning low diving catch to dismiss the dangerous Will Jacks.

Glenn Maxwell to Moeen Ali, SIX! HUGE! Right into the hitting arc of the southpaw, on off, Moeen Ali slogs it powerfully over deep mid-wicket for a maximum.

13.2
Glenn Maxwell to Moeen Ali, SIX! PUNISHED! Half-volley around off, Moeen Ali gets forward and under the ball before picking it over long on for a maximum. They need more of those and more frequently now.

Glenn Maxwell to Moeen Ali, SIX! Excellent shot! Drops a friendly half-volley right underneath the bat, Moeen Ali lofts it high and handsome over deep backward square leg for a maximum. 20 runs off the over.

14.1
Josh Hazlewood to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! TAKEN! Jonny Bairstow's struggling stay comes to an end and Australians celebrate! Josh Hazlewood breaks a budding partnership just at the right time. Short in length, skids through on top of off, Jonny Bairstow goes for a pull shot but loses his shape and the ball slices off the willow, high up in the air straight towards Glenn Maxwell stationed at deep mid-wicket who takes a very simple catch running forward.
W
15.4
Pat Cummins to Moeen Ali, OUT! TAKEN! Top catch in the deep from David Warner and Australia have executed the plan to perfection. Full and wide from Pat Cummins, bowled from around the stumps and forcing the batter to hit to the longer side of the ground. Moeen Ali walks across to the off side and slashes it away up and over backward point. Warner looses the ball in the sun a bit but does well to settle himself and reverse-cup it nicely.

17.4
Adam Zampa to Liam Livingstone, SIX! High and handsome but a little too late it seems. A boundary after 21 balls in a chase of over 200 and that's just not going to do it for England. Floated full and it is the googly on leg stump, Liam Livingstone steps out and whacks it a long way over the long on fence and the ball seems to be lost.
W
18.5
Pat Cummins to Liam Livingstone, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Pat Cummins does get his second wicket. Hard length, taking pace off and bowling it outside off. Liam Livingstone holds his shape and flat-bats it down to long off where Mitchell Starc settles himself inside the ropes and catches it just to his left.

Marcus Stoinis to Harry Brook, FOUR! Nicely played! Just back of a length and angled into the batter, Harry Brook backs away and checks the lofted drive to get it inside-out over covers and nearly gets a maximum. That was some shot!

19.6
Marcus Stoinis to Harry Brook, FOUR! That's it, Australia have taken the bragging rights in this big rivalry match up! Bowled a bit quicker and dug in on a hard length outside the off stump. Harry Brook swings across the line but gets a thick outside edge that flies over short third man for a boundary but it doesn't matter. Australia win by 36 runs!
