Eng 178-7published at 20 overs
Whipped over deep backward square, all the way for six from Chris Jordan! What a shot, that is!
Another over ends with a maximum and England have taken themselves up to a competitive total after a difficult start.
Dawid Malan was the standout performer, making 82 from 49 balls, while Moeen Ali chipped in with 44 from 27.
Marcus Stoinis took 3-34 for Australia.

Willey tries the scoop again, misses again by Jordan sprints through for a bye to Wade behind the stumps.
Eng 171-7published at 19.4 overs
Ambitious from David Willey, attempting to scoop his first ball from Stoinis. He was nowhere near it. Dot ball.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThat was probably one of the only deliveries that Dawid Malan hasn't timed. It has been a brilliant knock.

Malan c sub (Smith) b Stoinis 82 (Eng 171-7)
Short from Stoinis and pulled to deep mid-wicket. The end of a fantastic knock from Malan.
Not timed by Malan and Steve Smith, on as a sub fielder, takes a simple catch a metre or two off the rope.
Eng 171-6published at 19.2 overs
Poor delivery but it should still only be a single. Instead, Starc makes a complete pig's ear of it in the deep and it bounces through him for four.
Eng 167-6published at 19.1 overs
Marginal call for a wide. Only four or five feet wide of the line.
Eng 166-6published at 19.1 overs
Decent start to the over for Stoinis, Jordan can't get it away but they scamper through for a leg-bye.

Shorter from Starc, Malan was waiting for it and cracks it over the leg side into the crowd - where it is taken!
One over to go. Cummins and Hazlewood are bowled out so Stoinis will bowl it.

Curran b Starc 8 (Eng 158-6)

Sam Curran was across his stumps, looking for the ramp, but missed as Starc sent down a very fast, very full delivery.
England are six down with eight balls left in the innings.
Eng 157-5published at 18.2 overs
Malan's ability to hit gaps continues, even when he miscues the ball. He tries to launch Starc over cow corner, mistimes it but still gets the ball to land in between the two fielders in the deep.

Image source, Getty ImagesEduardo: I don’t understand people suggesting that Dawid Malan is a slow-paced player. He averages nearly 140 strike-rate, and he’s doing it again today. Just because he isn’t slogging left, right and centre! He just bats with pace and control.
Eng 155-5published at 18 overs
Just two from the first five balls of Josh Hazlewood's over but Sam Curran gets holds of the last one.
Sweetly timed and he there is just enough on it to clear Mitchell Starc at deep backward square.

Eng 148-5published at 17.2 overs
Hazlewood into his final over and he nails the wide yorker to Malan second ball. Australia need more of that sort of thing.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialSam Curran just has to stick with Dawid Malan here. He can bat but his international numbers perhaps don't show what he is capable of. We have seen him play some destructive knocks in first-class cricket.
Eng 147-5published at 17 overs
Just seven runs from Zampa's over and the wicket of Moeen Ali. The leg-spinner will be more than happy with that.
Sam Curran is out to join Malan, keeping up the run of left-handers.
