    Here we go then. England's players come buzz down from the dressing room. They look up for it.

    England have got so many exciting prospects. They have the pace with the bowlers but then the batting at the top of the order is dynamic. England have everything they need.

    A little harsh. Jimmy can wear whatever he likes in my eyes.

    As soon as Jofra crosses the boundary rope and gets out in the middle, he's one of the most fiercely competitive guys. He's a really hungry, competitive cricketer.

    For me, you want your best T20 player facing the most amount of balls - and that is Jos Buttler.

    England batsman Jos Buttler on BBC One: "I always have a positive outlook. I want to be in a frame of mind here if someone bowls a poor ball, I can capitalise on it. One of the big things I try and take is an intesity to the crease with my movements, my running."

    It is the same wicket as last time, so it's going to be harder to bat on. I'd like to see Moeen Ali come into play a little earlier. Spin will be key.

    Australia needed 39 from 38 balls with nine wickets left at one stage on Friday. How they managed to lose only they'll know.

    For 30 of the 40 overs in the opener Australia were well on top.

    I'm predicting another close game today.

    A lot of the England guys have played with the Australian guys but once you walk on that field, it's all out the window. It's anyone's game.

    Absolutely nothing, Conal. Nothing. This should be really good.

    Australia were bossing the last game and they really should have won it. Chris Jordan and Tom Curran showed such good composure at the end. All the bowlers chipped in in a variety of ways.

    I think we're set up for a thriller.

    England captain Eoin Morgan: "We would have bowled, so no objections. We have gone with the same team today, we were delighted about the other night. To win in that fashion shows the character of the team. There were certain elements to our batting where we can improve and the first 10 overs of our bowling, but we feel better for having that match under our belt too."

    Australia captain Aaron Finch: "It looks like a decent wicket again and with the sun out, it might slow up later. We spoke briefly after the game the other night, there were things throughout the game we could have done better but there were a lot of things we did well too. We're still confident in this format and it's going to be a great game."
