- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 slightly short, Roy hangs back and tries to guides to third man - but nicks it to the keeper instead! Richardson strikes now, bit of a freebie as Roy got a bit casual rather than going hard, scraped the toe of the bat through to Carey. England two down early 16/21.2 Hales smashes the ball into the air, it's high but overs Finch at mid-on... oh, taken at the second attempt on the run! Stanlake strikes second ball thanks to an excellent catch over his shoulder by Finch. Hales, playing his 50th T20I, fails in an attempt to assert himself early 12/13.6 tip and run, but there's a direct hit from mid-off! Malan is short! Brilliant work from Warner, collecting low down and releasing a right-arm rocket in one fluid movement - both feet in the air as he lets go - and Malan just keeps on running! He knew he was in trouble but it still required a lightning pick up and release to catch him short of his ground 34/310.4 bowled 'im! Vince suckered by the slower ball! Loopy, seductive knuckleball from Tye but Vince never picked it, backing away to try and lash through cover, the ball dips to hit off and send him on his way 70/419.6 pitched up, slogged down the ground... and Agar snags it on the run! Another excellent catch, Australia have been good in the field again, Buttler falls from the last ball looking for a boundary to finish a luke-warm effort. Seemed like he might have got hold of it, a flat, straight hit but taken smartly racing across to his left 137/717.3 gone - slugged into the air and Warner takes it at mid-off! Billings' brief flurry is dealt with, Stanlake is a hard man to hit down the ground often, this was just too quick and his cross-batted mow lobbed up off the top edge 113/519.2 got him, top-edged into the covers! Richardson took the pace off and Willey's big heave only succeeds in giving him the heave ho... Warner again calmly underneath to complete the dismissal 133/6Extras9 (b 2, w 7)TOTAL137/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Alex Hales, 1.2 ov), 2-16 (Jason Roy, 2.2 ov), 3-34 (Dawid Malan, 3.6 ov), 4-70 (James Vince, 10.4 ov), 5-113 (Sam Billings, 17.3 ov), 6-133 (David Willey, 19.2 ov), 7-137 (Jos Buttler, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 edged, taken! Warner's woes continue. Top bowling from Willey, pushes it up outside off, late swing, Warner pushing hard without footwork and it's a healthy nick to Buttler 2/15.3 and he gets him! The short ball does the trick in the end, Lynn aiming over the leg side, gets a big top edge which Buttler steadies himself underneath. But he's done significant damage in a small chase 51/213.1 and he gets Maxwell...short of a length, a slower delivery, goes for a big mow over the leg side, like Lynn gets a big top edge and it's a simple catch 116/3Extras10 (lb 2, w 8)TOTAL138/3 (14.3 Overs, RR: 9.51)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (David Warner, 0.4 ov), 2-51 (Chris Lynn, 5.3 ov), 3-116 (Glenn Maxwell, 13.1 ov)
