First match of Super 12s, Group 1
Australia won toss, Abu Dhabi
England v W Indies, Dubai, 15:00 BST
Our attention will now turn to the one you've all been waiting for. England and West Indies will kick off their tournaments at 15:00 BST and you can follow live radio, in-play clips and text commentary of that at 14:45 BST here.
Some news from the middle is that England have won the toss and are bowling first.
See you in five minutes!
Australia bowler Josh Hazlewood, who is named player of the match: "Length was the key it was about hitting the top of the stumps. Anything full was easy to score or short.
"The wicket was a little stoppy or slow.
"It got closer towards the end but we know those guys are finishers and we have confidence in them."
Not to mention an early contender for catch of the tournament...
We've seen some brilliant bowling and some strange dismissals today...

A win is a win. Wins breed confidence and confident teams can go a long way.
South Africa have plenty to work with. If they had managed another 20 runs they would have the artillery to defend that total.
It may have been a woeful display with the bat from South Africa, but they can take plenty of encouragement from the way their bowlers fought back.
The players shake hands as they get their first game of the tournament out of the way.

Those are the games you have to win. If you can keep winning you get on a role. South Africa were brilliant in defeat but they took too long to bring Nortje back to get the wicket.

Marcus Stoinis does the job for Australia!
Aus 121-5
Full toss and Stoinis swats it for four!
They made it hard work but Australia beat South Africa by five wickets.

It is a rarity but we are seeing smiles from Justin Langer now.
Need 2 off 4 balls
Right where he wanted it! Marcus Stoinis smashes it back down the ground for four!! Even Justin Langer cracks a smile!

Need 6 from 5 balls
Brilliant running as Stoinis takes a couple off Pretorius. There shouldn't have been two there!

It has been a manful effort from South Africa.
The game is not done. These smaller total games can provide a better spectacle. It hasn't been what traditional T20 cricket can be about.
The first ball in this over is critical.
Need 8 off 6 balls
Stoinis drives, off the bottom of the bat, for a single.
We're going into the final over. You'd say Australia are favorites, right?

A much-needed boundary.
Need 9 off 7 balls
Stoinis finds the boundary as he pulls through mid-wicket! Much-needed for the Aussies.
Need 13 off 8 balls
Australia can only find the fielders as another swing of the bat goes straight to Rabada at a wide third man.
