- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.2 Buttler miscues to mid-off! Finally some respite for Australia. Ellis hits a length again, tucks him up for space as Buttler looks to hit down the ground. Sliced the shot and Kane Richardson held it well running across to his right 132/115.2 Hales falls now, slugged to long-off! Another boundary catch, comfortably taken by David in front of the rope. Hales throws his head back in frustration, didn't get the timing on that shot. But it's been a fine effort after being backed as Butter's opening partner 167/314.4 holes out to long-on! Stokes' first T20I knock since March 2021 ends with a whimper. Skipped down and aimed a lofted blow but there wasn't any pace to work with and Warner took it comfortably some way in from the rope 165/217.2 mistimed to deep midwicket! Slower ball into the pitch and he can't get the power swinging across the line. Hit high but without the distance and Richardson holds it safely coming in off the rope 183/418.6 slower ball, ramped to short third! Ellis gets a third, he's bowled superbly well tonight. Dug in short but without pace and Moeen can't get enough on it to clear Marsh running back from the edge of the ring 194/618.3 bowled behind his legs! Ellis goes a touch fuller, pace on and Curran fails to connect with an ambitious ramp shot. Off stump takes a pounding, Australia continue to slow England's progress with wickets at the death 193/5Extras8 (lb 2, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL208/6 (20 Overs, RR: 10.4)Fall of wickets: 1-132 (Jos Buttler, 11.2 ov), 2-165 (Ben Stokes, 14.4 ov), 3-167 (Alex Hales, 15.2 ov), 4-183 (Harry Brook, 17.2 ov), 5-193 (Sam Curran, 18.3 ov), 6-194 (Moeen Ali, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.6 Wood gets Warner! Toe-ended to deep point! You could hear Warner shout "oh no!" as the ball went off the bat, straight down the throat of Hales on the rope. Safely held and that's a huge wicket in this chase. Super knock but he wanted to be out there to finish it 173/61.1 edged, caught behind! Given not out. Buttler reviews in the instant. Good length ball, there was a clear noise as Green pressed forward and the ball went past the inside edge. Clear mark on HotSpot. Nice bowling from Topley, nipped back a touch 15/18.3 brilliant delivery! A fantastic wrong 'un from Rashid and Marsh had no idea. Went back to cut, played over it and takes off stump 86/210.3 flat and crunched through the covers, they push for two and Finch has to put in the dive... the throw was high and Buttler had to bring his hands down into the stumps. Finch is short! Just a frame or two in it, but he's beaten to the line. Super fielding from Curran in the deep 105/314.3 skied to cover! Wood wins the bumper battle with Stoinis. Short outside off and he sends it up the chimney. Well taken by Dawid Malan running back outside the ring, holding the ball above his head 158/414.6 short and scooped straight to deep backward square leg! Wood bellows in exuberant celebration, he's taken out two in four balls. Back of a length, 141kph/88mph and David spliced his attempted pull, Hales doing the job running in from the rope 158/519.3 Wade falls, picks out deep midwicket! He won't be finishing this one... slower ball, Wade again goes for the heave leg side but there's no pace to work with and it's a simple catch to Stokes a few yards in from the rope 197/818.5 smashed to long-off! Connected well but Brook holds on above his head! Slot ball and Sams thought he had nailed it... but the man was across, steadied himself and held a pressure catch to swing the pendulum back England's way 193/719.5 bowled 'im! Ellis swings for the pickets and misses as a length ball skids into the top of middle and leg. Curran has held his nerve superbly in this final over 198/9Extras14 (lb 4, w 10)TOTAL200/9 (20 Overs, RR: 10)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Cameron Green, 1.1 ov), 2-86 (Mitchell Marsh, 8.3 ov), 3-105 (Aaron Finch, 10.3 ov), 4-158 (Marcus Stoinis, 14.3 ov), 5-158 (Tim David, 14.6 ov), 6-173 (David Warner, 16.6 ov), 7-193 (Daniel Sams, 18.5 ov), 8-197 (Matthew Wade, 19.3 ov), 9-198 (Nathan Ellis, 19.5 ov)
