  1. Aus 20-0published at 2.0 overs

    Target 163

    Pace might not be the way to go, though. In general tonight, the quicker it's come, the faster it's gone.

  2. Aus 20-0published at 1.5 overs

    Target 163

    Wood has just bowled at 94.7mph. Some aeroplanes are slower.

  3. Aus 19-0published at 1.4 overs

    Target 163

    Four more. A 91mph short ball from Wood. Warner doesn't get all of the hook, but it's enough to get past short fine leg.

    He was late on that shot - very lucky.

  5. Aus 15-0published at 1.2 overs

    Target 163

    Just over mid-on! Warner sitting on the back foot. Skiddy short ball, pulled, just over the head of the fielder. Two taken.

  6. Aus 13-0published at 1.1 overs

    Target 163

    Streaky! Warner inside edges past his own stumps for four.

    Andrew Bevan: The way this summer is going I reckon Stuart Broad could still get David Warner out tonight!

    This is not the start England wanted.

  10. Aus 9-0published at 1 over

    Target 163

    Slower ball! Leading edge, but well short of the point fielder. A little cutter. is pace off the way to go?

    Australia's chase is kick-started.

  12. Aus 9-0published at 0.5 overs

    Target 163

    Clipped to fine leg for four more, just after the man came into the ring. That's a poor ball from Archer.

  13. Aus 5-0published at 0.4 overs

    Target 163

    Hello there! Fraction short from Archer, Finch swivels on a pull for four. Superb stroke.

  14. Aus 1-0published at 0.2 overs

    Target 163

    Jofra is already bowling at 92mph.

  15. Aus 1-0published at 0.1 overs

    Target 163

    Two slips. Natural light almost gone. Warner pinches a single to get under way.

    Aaron Finch and David Warner are two of the most imposing openers in the game.

    The opportunity for scoring for Australia will be with the newer, harder ball.

  18. Postpublished at 19:44 British Summer Time 4 September 2020

    Jofra Archer with the ball. Believe it or not, this is only his second T20 international. David Warner and Aaron Finch opening, as per.

  19. Postpublished at 19:43 British Summer Time 4 September 2020

    England are ready on the boundary edge. Their red and navy is a superb combo. Australia are looking a bit Norwich City. Not that there's anything wrong with Norwich, but if you tell me that's gold, rather than yellow, I'll think you're lying.
