  1. Not out

    And that's why - it's missing the stumps.

    As you were.

  2. This doesn't look quite right...

  3. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC One

    That's going down leg - another poor review... I reckon!

  4. Australia review

    Oh, hello!

    Australia are going upstairs for a speculative lbw review against Jonny Bairstow.

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC One

    Mitchell Starc looks to get wickets early doors by honing in on the stumps and pads.

  6. Eng 1-0

    Target 158

    Delicately dropped away by Jos Buttler, and we're off.

  7. Mitchell Starc has the new ball in his mitts, one slip waiting.

    Here we go...

  8. Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler are walking out to the middle for England, tasked with chasing down 157-7.

    Stick on BBC One now to watch the reply. You know you want to.

  9. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Ashley Parker: That last over from Archer could prove costly for England - 157 is going to be tricky to chase down on this wicket.

  10. Two pieces of news came through before this match started.

    England players have been fined 20% of their match fees for a slow over-rate in the first T20.

    The hosts have also added Sussex batsman Phil Salt to their ODI group as a reserve for the series against Australia which follows these T20s.

    Jason Roy is still recovering from a side injury.

  11. Thanks, Matthew.

    Proper pace. Nothing better than it.

  12. Quite right.

    Can England chase this down? Amy Lofthouse will take you through the second half.

  14. Australia will probably be happy enough now after being 3-2 and 30-3. England may be disappointed with how that finished but, with their batting line-up, they're favourites.

  15. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC One

    Australia would have been eyeing 160, 170, but after the start they had, they'll take this score.

  16. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Test Match Special

    An expensive final over, with 18 runs coming from it. Australia have sort of limped through their innings.

  17. Aus 157-7

    Two from the final ball of the innings.

    18 from the last over has given Australia a bit of hope.

  18. Mitchell Starc will face the final ball.

  19. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England women's batter on BBC One

    Agar was desperate to get Cummins back on strike.

    WICKET

    Agar run out Archer 23 (Aus 155-7)

    Out. Agar hardly gets the ball off the pitch and sets off for a single. Archer collects in his follow-through and throws the stumps down.

    There was a bit of frustration in that. No celebration from Archer.
