That is absolutely extraordinary. It was a tennis shot back at him and Marcus Stoinis looks stunned to have taken the catch.

Hales c&b Stoinis 49 (Eng 204-4)
That is the weirdest caught and bowled you will ever see. It looks like a horrible ball from Marcus Stoinis, a slower-ball bouncer. Alex Hales plays a tennis serve at it. Vertical bat, jumping, but straight back at Stoinis, who takes it in one hand. Incredible.

Andrew Tye is top, having conceded 64 runs, but taking two wickets, against New Zealand earlier this year.

Is this the most destructive batting line-up ever in white ball cricket? Hard to argue against.

Trick shots! Joe Root with a reverse scoop, over his right shoulder and away to the third man fence for four. Remember, England's highest score is 230...

Former Australia wicketkeeper on TMSWhen you hit one of those there is a split second where you and only you know that you've hit it perfectly. It's a wonderful feeling.

Alex Hales does, though! In the slot, over cow corner. Miles back.

Root still looks elegant, even in T20 cricket. I'm not sure he has a slog in him...

Former Australia wicketkeeper on TMSThat's not the worst ball you'll see today. But it's probably one of the best shots.

What power from Hales. Andrew Tye barely misses the yorker, but Hales still gets it down the ground for four with wrists of galvanised elastic.

I think you're allowed to appeal without being accused of cheating. Either way, four overs to go...

The Hollies Stand loves this. Aussies accused of cheating again. Nothing to suggest Hales hit that one.

Former Australia wicketkeeper on TMSThe Aussies seem certain. I don't think he's hit it - it might have been bat on ground.

Has something gone Richardson's way? Alex Hales caught behind?

Former Australia wicketkeeper on TMSAustralia must be scared about being hit to the leg side. But that's resulting in width and, with third man up, you just need to get something on it.
