END OF OVER:
20 | 12 Runs | ENG: 155/9 | RR: 7.75

  • Kane Richardson4-0-27-1

9.10pm: Well, England did okay to see out the overs, in the end. But having been 94 for 2 in the 10th, they didn't exactly soar through the second half. Can they learn from how Australia bowled (and will they rue leaving out Liam Dawson's spin)? David Warner certainly kept the batsmen on their toes, making a bowling change every over from the fifth to the 19th. Anyway, that's it from me - Miller will be here to swing for the fences shortly

"Competitive score," declares Mike O. "Purchase in the pitch for the spinners and some variable for the quicks. Oz will struggle here..."

Webby: "Although a monumental collapse, we've got to remember this isn't England's strongest team. No Root, Ali or Plunkett. Like to think Root and Ali would have hung around. "

And here's Adam: "It finally looks like Australia have used common sense and picked a team on 20/20 merit and left Test stars out. How will Australia ever be any good at this format by picking players that only play 20/20 three times a year. "

Tye to Jordan, SIX, Jordan whups it into the stands it deep midwicket! Stand and deliver, a meaty hoick across the line and it takes England past 150 in the process. But will that be competitive?

Last ball of the innings...

Last over, and there's no change! Tye to finish off... What can England get up to?

"Tried to overachieve and now seems like not even 150," grunts Hussain R. "Hit and miss cricket from England. You'd think somebody would have dropped anchor and played through the innings!!"

"I must say this is a stellar effort from Australia to pull this back," chirrups Artemis. "180 seemed like a formality at the start and 200 seemed like a very realistic possibility. England will be lucky to get 150 now."

  • Billy Stanlake4-0-43-1

Here's Saad Shafi Ahme: "No bowler has bowled consecutive overs since the first 4 overs. Can we say it as innovative captaincy by Warner?" It's certainly a pain to commentate on succeeded in throwing off England

Stanlake to Curran, SIX, wallop! Curran hooks his first ball into the crowd at deep square leg! Dug in short by Stanlake, 138kph but there's no mucking about and he mows it several rows back

Stanlake to Rashid, OUT, banged in short, Rashid pulls and picks out deep square leg! Looked like Rashid was through his shot early, maybe expecting it to be quicker, and it flew off the toe of the bat straight to Stoinis, who clasped it low down in front of him
