  1. Eng 135-3published at 16.4 overs

    And now Eoin Morgan gets in on the act with a crunching thwack back down the ground for four.

  2. Eng 130-3published at 16.2 overs

    Need 28 from 22

    Four!

    Jos Buttler hops onto the back foot and threads the ball through two diving fielders. Lovely.

  3. Eng 126-3published at 16.1 overs

    Eoin Morgan plays a horrible looking reverse sweep, sending the ball up into the air, but he'll get a single for his troubles.

    Eoin Morgan scrambles a single to get himself off the mark and England make a fine job of rotating the strike over.

    Here comes Captain Cool, just who England need in this position.

    Australia needed that, taking wickets is their only way to get into this game.

    Banton c Cummins b Agar 2 (Eng 122-3)

    Twist?

    Tom Banton goes for a galumphing sweep but can only send a top edge down Pat Cummins' throat in the deep.

    There's 36 from 28 still needed for England...

    Australia need to do to England what England did to them the other night.

  14. Eng 121-2published at 15 overs

    Need 37 from 30 balls

    Dot.

    Mitch Starc ends his work with a 92mph delivery, and he finishes with figures of 1-25 from his four overs.

  15. Eng 121-2published at 14.5 overs

    Tom Banton gently drives Starc off the back foot to get himself off the mark.

    This'll be Starc's final ball...

  16. Eng 119-2published at 14.4 overs

    Need 39 from 32

    A leg bye means Tom Banton will have to face a bit of Starc.

  17. Eng 118-2published at 14.3 overs

    Dot, dot, wide...

    It was short, quick, Buttler chased it, and it went miles over his head. Starc is still shaking his head about it.

    I imagine Mitchell Starc wants to give Buttler a single and bowl at Tom Banton. Facing 90mph isn't easy early in your innings.

  19. Eng 117-2published at 14.1 overs

    Need 41 from 35

    Short, into the ribs, fended away for a couple by Jos Buttler.

    Starc has really found his movement and pace much easier than he did in the last game. He bowls an awkward, uncomfortable length which is hard to get away.
