  1. Eng 106-4

    Malan again... and it's four. He pulls Zampa hard and finds the gap.

    The applause from the England bench on the boundary edge is echoing around the empty ground.

  2. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Dave Hill: This is horrible batting. Team completely unbalanced. Why bat Banton at 4 when he’s scored all his runs as an opener?

  3. 6 runs

    Eng 99-4

    Shot! Dawid Malan has been steady so far but now gets down and sweeps Zampa into the stands.

  4. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    That is Morgan's first single-figure score in his past 14 T20 internationals.

  5. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England women's batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Australia have applied pressure from both ends. That's the mark of a good side.

  6. Eng 92-4

    Malan 26, Moeen 0

    England could do with some of the Moeen magic we saw the other night...

  7. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England women's batter on BBC Test Match Special

    He toe-ended that. It's a good catch from Steve Smith. The ball hung in the air for a long time.

    WICKET

    Morgan c Smith b Maxwell 5 (Eng 91-4)

    Australia love this. There's a huge cry of "come on" from the middle. Eoin Morgan tries to thump Maxwell down the ground but skies it a mile into the air and Steve Smith takes a very good catch, running round from long-on.

    England are wobbling.

  9. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England women's batter on BBC Test Match Special

    When Buttler was in we thought 200 was a good score. Now maybe 180.

  10. It's going to be more spin for Australia. Glenn Maxwell is going to lob a few down.

  11. This was how Jos Buttler's impressive innings came to an end...

  12. Eng 85-3

    Malan 20, Morgan 5

    Morgan gets away with one a ball later. He must have known the Starc bouncer would come. Starc got him with a bouncer in the World Cup last year at Lord's, remember. Here it is and Morgan top-edges into a space on the leg side.

  13. Eng 84-3

    Oh wow! Eoin Morgan with a beauty to start through the covers.

  14. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England women's batter on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm not sure about the pitch. It might not be coming on quite as well as the batsmen would like it to.

  16. Eng 75-3

    Malan 14, Morgan 0

    Eoin Morgan is now out in the middle. With England's lengthy lower-order, they could do with a few from these two.

    Starc is back.

  17. Adam Collins
    Australian journalist on BBC Test Match Special

    You could tell by the response of the Australian players they hold Banton in high regard.

  18. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    That's an excellent catch. One of those you see dropped very often. One of the hardest catches you see in cricket.
