    Swing and a miss from Stoinis. Slower ball from Jordan. Dot. Precious dot. 15 from seven. Huge ball coming up...

    Australia know they need a boundary early in this over.

  9. Aus 147-5published at 18.3 overs

    Target 163

    Another single. Australia playing binary cricket. 16 from 9. Getting harder for the Aussies.

    Agar can't just beat the man on the off side.

  11. Aus 145-5published at 18.2 overs

    Target 163

    One more to point. There hasn't been a boundary since the 14th over. Australia need one. 17 from 10.

    A fantastic over from young Tom Curran, under pressure.

  16. Aus 144-5published at 18 overs

    Target 163

    Australia have taken seven from that over without hitting a boundary. 19 from 12 required. Batting team favourites.

    That could quite easily have been four.

    How this game has slipped from the visitors...

  19. Aus 143-5published at 17.5 overs

    Target 163

    Stoinis carves to point. Malan, the sweeper, gets round to stop the boundary. Two taken. 20 from 13.

    A boundary here and the pressure is right back on England.
