    MS Dhoni says take it to the end, when the bowler is as scared as you are.

    It's neanderthal batting!

    Aus 144-5published at 14 overs

    Need 78 from 36 balls

    Aaron Finch hits Moeen Ali into Solihull to end a huge over.

    Just the 22 from it for Australia. Game on.

    Moeen Ali is done, 1-58 off four overs.

    Aaron Finch is enjoying this.

    Well, at least one Australian can play spin.

    Aaron Finch batters it down the ground for four more.

  6. 6 runs

    Aus 134-5published at 13.4 overs

    Oh dear. Moeen Ali gets it all wrong, sending down a ropey full toss that Aaron Finch baseball swings way over mid-wicket for six.

    Australia are still well behind - there is a lot of work to do. But the captain is leading from the front.

  8. Aus 127-5published at 13.2 overs

    Aaron Finch goes leg side again but David Willey fields well on the bounce and gets the throw in quickly, preventing the two.

    But Ashton Agar makes up for not getting his captain on strike but clattering superbly down the ground for four.

    Alan Gibworth: England have now played Australia 18 times in the last seven months. Is it my imagination or was there a time when playing the Aussies used to be special?

  10. Aus 122-5published at 13 overs

    Need 100 from 42 balls

    Agar tucks one off his pads and Finch hooks a short ball down to short fine leg for another single. A modicum of calm to end the over.

    Maybe, just maybe, there is a little light at the end of the tunnel for Australia...

  12. Aus 120-5published at 12.4 overs

    Target 222

    Ashton Agar is a danger too, mind.

    He stands tall and slashes it through the covers for four.

  13. Aus 116-5published at 12.3 overs

    More chaos as Aaron Finch drops his bat when thinking about the second and Ashton Agar hesitates but scrambles back in time.

    This is great striking from Aaron Finch.

    Target 222

    It might not be beyond Aaron Finch, though Gilly.

    Liam Plunkett returns, it's length and Finch dispatches it over wide mid-off for six more.

    It looks like it's getting beyond Australia.

    Finch's half-century came off 27 balls, with three sixes and five fours. It is his eighth in T20 internationals, plus one century. It is his 51st score of 50 or more in all T20 cricket.

  18. Aus 109-5published at 12 overs

    Need 113 from 48 balls

    Moeen Ali goes wide, with Aaron Finch batting outside leg. The Aussie captain readjusts and slices to deep point for a single to keep the strike.

    He'll need the vast majority of it from here on out.

    Brief delay here as a new ball is needed.

    50 for Finchpublished at 11.5 overs

    Aus 108-5

    You can't put a man in the stands though!

    Moeen Ali drops a bit short and Aaron Finch whacks it deep over mid-wicket.

    That's 50 up for the Australia captain, who is taking on England all alone right now.

    A brutal knock, taking him just 27 balls so far.
