That's all from this live page on a bruising evening for England, as Australia secure a dominant win to go 1-0 up in the three-match T20 series.
Make sure you check out Sam Drury's match report.
There are also full highlights on BBC Two and iPlayer at 23:15 BST.
We will be back on Friday for coverage of the second T20 Cardiff.
Until then, farewell.
Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh: "It was pretty exciting watching Travis Head and Matthew Short and we certainly looked on course for 200 but did our best to stuff it up, so it's nice to start the series with a win. I thought we made use of the conditions in the powerplay and it is a great win.
"We're lucky to have guys like Adam Zampa and Josh Hazlewood in our team, especially for some of our younger guys to learn from. I went back to them and they both applied the pressure when needed."
On Xavier Bartlett's injury: "It's disappointing. I think he's hurt his thigh. It's always disappointing to see a young fellow go down but hopefully it's not too bad."
There were some poor shots from the England batters but there was also some fantastic fielding.
Check out this catch from Cameron Green.
More from player of the match Travis Head on his impressive form: "I do what the coach and captain want. There's a bit of luck but I have worked extremely hard over time to play freer. I'd love to go out and whack it every time but I know that's not the case.
"I am in a nice bit of form and want to continue that as a batter. I could have easily played this way and missed a couple of times and been out. The freedom that I'm given, hopefully I can do that role more often than not."
England captain Phil Salt: "Everything was good apart from the result. They played well. Travis Head came out swinging in the powerplay and gave them a head start. We dragged it back in the middle but we were a couple of wickets too far down at the end.
"Travis has done that all over the place for a couple of years so we were very aware of what he can do. When the ball starts flying like that it is all about how to shut him down. Maybe we could have done a bit better but it has given something to get clarity on in the next game.
On the performance of Livingstone and Rashid: "They were brilliant. Bethell as well, he looked like he had been there a million times before, so a real positive.
"Australia did bowl well. At times we could have taken partnerships deeper. We have had a good look at them now so if we can extend those partnerships we can put ourselves into some really dangerous positions for the rest of the series."
Player of the match Travis Head: "It was a nice start. Nice to get under way. England bowled well at the start and in the first few overs it was nice to get one away. To set a platform like that with the hitters we had behind us...it was nice to do the job.
"I just tried to acclimate to a pitch with a bit of pace in it. The pitches in Scotland were a lot different. For me it was about using the pace well which I think I did. Matthew Short got off to a cracking start in the first few overs and we matched well together. Nice to get that partnership going and starting the series well."
No real surprise that Travis Head has been named player of the match - interview with him and the two captains coming right up.

Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds
Australia's bowlers did a good job but that was a pretty desultory from England's batters. Nobody really fired for them.
Andy Zaltzman
Statistician on Test Match Special
Australia have had six different wicket takers in a T20 international. They didn't have that for six years but it happened in the second match against Scotland as well here so two in a week.
That is a truly dominant performance from Australia and a harsh lesson for a young England team.
They go 1-0 up in the three-match T20 series, with the second match at Cardiff on Friday.
If some of the more inexperienced England players were not aware of the levels required for international cricket, they do now.
Mahmood b Abbott 12 (Eng 151)
All over.
Saqib Mahmood goes for the pre-meditated ramp shot but the ball splatters into the stumps.
Sean Abbott bowls short and Saqib Mahmood clubs it over long-on for six!
Just five more of those and England will be home and dry.

Adil Rashid got that high up on the splice and never really got any timing but that was real athleticism from Cameron Green.
Reece Topley joins Saqib Mahmood with England needing 35 runs from the final over.
Rashid c Green b Stoinis 7 (Eng 142-9)
England are nearly put out of their misery as Adil Rashid goes for an ugly hoick into the off side. The huge frame of Cameron Green leaps into the air while falling backwards and takes a stunning catch at full stretch.
Michael Carberry
Former England batter on BBC Sounds
Travis Head has been the difference tonight with a masterclass in powerplay batting. Those last 10 balls of his innings he went berserk.
I think it's actually lesson for any opening batters because he didn't get off to big start but didn't panic. It shows what can be done by hanging in there because you only need that one over.
Put away the 'so you're telling me there's a chance' gif.
Image source, CricVizAnd they were pretty much ended when Liam Livingstone chopped on to depart for 37.
England's hopes started to fade when Sam Curran fell for 18.
Saqib Mahmood does finally connect with an uppish cut that brings two.
Three singles and a no ball follow but it all feels academic. The energy fizzled out from this game a while ago.
