    That was tantalising for the fielder at mid-off. For a second, Harry Brook would have thought he could've gotten underneath it, but it's gone for four.

    Target 310

    Well, in fairness, England also lived dangerously in their opening 10 overs. Phil Salt particularly, really rode his luck.

    And right on cue, Matt Short lofts one just over Harry Brook's head at mid-off as he continues to attack.

    England have got to feel unlucky, loads of inside and outside edges. Aussies could be five down, instead they’re on top.

    Matt Short enjoys the short ball, conveniently.

    He's smacked three sixes already in his 38 from just 19 balls.

    Target 310

    Funny what a wicket can do.

    Steve Smith is centimetres away from chopping on to his stumps first ball, before a little more fortune sees him edge past the keeper for four.

    Great first over from Brydon Carse.

    It's fair to say England needed that. We've seen already in this game how the tempo can change back and forth. Travis Head doesn't hit it really well and it goes gently to extra cover.

    The bowling change works immediately!

    Travis Head departs after trying to capitalise on the shorter, straight boundaries. Back of a length from Brydon Carse, and Head dinks it straight to Phil Salt at cover.

    Blimey, England needed that.

    Target 310

    Well, Australia are almost at their DLS target already (for 20 overs) and we're only seven overs in.

    Matt Short makes the most of his second chance, edging down to deep third for four with a slice of luck before nailing yet another pull shot for six into the stands.

    England are being torn apart.

    It was up in the air for ages and Adil Rashid just couldn't get himself in position underneath it.

    Oh, dear.

    Matt Short takes another big swipe at Potts, the ball flies up in the air off a leading edge. It should land straight into Adil Rashid's hands at short third but he makes a complete mess of it, possibly losing the ball under the murky skies, but in the end he dives over it without getting a hand on it.

    Potts stomps back to his mark with a stern look on his face.

    It was always a gamble bringing on Will Jacks to bowl, but so far, that throw of the dice has not worked for England.

    He goes again!

    An agricultural heave over long-on brings Travis Head six more, before Jacks drags his length back but that's cut for four.

    Another costly over concedes 20.

    They're flying.

    That initially looked like a miscue from Travis Head, but the boundaries here are very short and it just carries for a six.

  14. Aus 56-0published at 5.2 overs

    Harry Brook turns to his spinners early, which is fair, considering slow bowling took eight of England's wickets.

    But it doesn't quite have the desired result. Travis Head tucks in to Will Jacks, threading one through the covers for four before lofting another down the ground for six.

    Something tells me Head is going to enjoy these short boundaries...

  15. Aus 46-0published at 5 overs

    Target 310

    Too full this time, and too wide.

    Short slashes it past point to complete another expensive over, taking 14 from it. All of a sudden, Australia are motoring.

    Absolute rocket launch! Matt Short likes balls of that length, to match his name.

  17. Aus 42-0published at 4.2 overs

    There's not much margin for error when bowling to Matt Short, by the looks of it.

    Matthew Potts goes back of a length again and it's pulled with aplomb once more, this time all the way along the ground for four.

    The latest Matt Short six was thrown back remarkably quickly from the beer queues.

    You're not wrong, Geoff.

    Matt Short goes again and that is absolutely huge. I think it's into someone's garden!

    Matt Short loves a pull shot for six - that's a signature of his play.
