Australia Won The Toss And Bat First In 2nd IT20

 

Australia Start First Innings

 

We're good to go. Archer to Warner, with two slips.

Warner and Finch are at the wrinkle. Warner is protesting. Jofra Archer will open the assault

Now it looks like they're just going to fold more traditional type liner length the odd good short one like that which that was that was quick 91 mile an hour it was fast.

Oh! He's been given and he's reviewed it immediately there was something on it. Was it elbow was it glove he's saying elbow.

Umpire voice “And we've got a clear spike as the ball is next to the gloves. I'm ready to go back on field and mike if you stay with your original decision of out you're on Camera now”

England got 1^st wicket of David Warner goes for 0 (Golden Duck). Jofra Archer got first wicket of Australia innings

 

Oh run out chance run out chance, oh my word it is chaos from Australia it could have been a double wicket. Maiden as is it's one for one after one.

There's a nick there's a little tickle and the change in order hasn't worked two in two overs england all over australia here.

England got 2^nd wicket of Alex Carey goes for 2. Mark Wood got

them breakthrough

 

For this man out there, but it's gone way over him. It's gone all the way for six. That was the plan but finch has taken the two fielders out of the equation.

There's not many elaine anything on that ball even archer says you ain't playing that. It's a 92 mile an hour leg break yes.

That was why it was bad balling under bald pull it was wide for four.

Priest goes down and away for four. You're not catching up with that that was unlucky could easily have dragged on he's not moving his feet much aaron finch just throwing the kitchen sink at everything outside of stump.

The way sweeper out there hand on it but goes away for four. He timed that well steve smith wasn't that wide it wasn't that short it's just the flick.

That's been nailed there's a man out there it's banton it's over his head it's six. What a shot what a shot.

Just sneaks gone. Oh one stunt that is brilliant. You just keep going smith. That is outstanding. It's the skipper, isn't it? One stump to aim at?

England got 3^rd wicket of Steven Smith goes for 10. (Runout)

 

Down side and just away from keeper buttler away for four so off the face of the back.

That's a gorgeous shot and that's poor fielding jordan is quick. So is the outfield this has played a gorgeous drive down the ground for four.

Pulled away leg side. He's an immensely strong man. That's an immensely strong shot all the way for six.

There's a positive play long on is just picking it up about the crowd even though there is no crowd. He's a good player finch.

To be honest, that's nicely played. He played one earlier off archer where he just picked it up off his hip for six this time he's just controlled it and it's gone for four.

Sets himself back in the crease. He's been doing that a lot and he's played that shot again, England just got to readdress their plans against finch.

Back again he's dragged on he has dragged it on to his off stamp. He was trying to open up the off stamp that's a massive wicket for england the danger man. The skipper's gone.

England got 4^th wicket of Aaron Finch goes for 40. Chris Jordan got 

them breakthrough

 

Off but it's wide and it's gone for six. That's my exact point that nowadays mid off long off long on they do not care the size of stillness big guys strong guy.

So he's gone, he's got him with a beautifully turned leg spinner and morgan again is involved with the field setting why do we call for that slip to be kept in.

England got 5^th wicket of Marcus Stoinis goes for 35. Adil Rashid got 

them breakthrough

 

Oh now just wide a slip did he get a fingertip to it? Either way it's going to go away for four. Yeah, welcome boundary definitely a welcome boundary.

Goes quickly behind square moeen ali does well save four.

Smears that away leg side and just over archer's head. Standing with that very open chested stance as if he's looking to aim at leg side and he just hit it well enough.

Edged and gone so jordan, the change works jordan replaces archer and that is a big wicket because maxwell can be very destructive at the end of the innings 132-6.

England got 6^th wicket of Glenn Maxwell goes for 26. Chris Jordan got 

them breakthrough

 

Firm hit by agar down the ground an excellent shot from him. That's one of the boundaries that we're referring too.

Oh, it's over third man third man is in the circle adil rashid and that will run away to the third man boundary for four.  Archer on that occasion not going for the yorker. It's been costly.

Beautiful shot down the ground from pat cummings great strike and australia finishing strongly past the 150 mark now 153-6.

And gone miles out, but it was fair enough. Agar are looking to get pat cummings back on strike. Archer looks a bit disgruntled still because it's been an expensive over.

England got 7^th wicket of Ashton Agar goes for 23. (Runout)

 

Start faces up to the last ball should scurry back for a second. Yeah so a very decent end for australia, it was an expensive last over from archer and it means that australia finish on 157-7.

 

The guests will be sensibly satisfied with their batting exertion. They persevered through a terrible beginning, losing two wickets with only three sudden spikes in demand for the board, not long after Smith ran himself out. Aaron Finch held specialty, was helped by Marcus Stoinis - however at 89 for 5, things looked distressing by and by. Maxwell, Agar and Cummins however contributed with helpful scores, 40 originated from the last three overs and they have an all out which isn't excessively far away from England's exertion in the primary match. The hosts were sharp with the ball and great in the field, the demise bowling wasn't excessively ratty in spite of the fact that they conceded 10 more than what they would have enjoyed. They will extravagant this pursuit however.

England Start Second Innings To Win 158 More Runs From 120 Balls

Welcome back.. Starc looked corroded with the new ball in the principal coordinate, would he be able to improve today? One slip set up

Buttler and Bairstow are at the wrinkle. Buttler is protesting. Starc will open the assault

Leg side that will be leg byes. Yeah leg byes just to end a decent over five from it.

Again this time he does go off side what hands he's got joss buttler just a flick of the wrists and off it goes for four.

Up and over mid-off don't think it was timed completely by jonny, but he'll take the boundary. He got the width that he was looking for on this occasion.

And on the up again the same result four more.

Edge and gone. Think he's just tried on his stamps and walked off. I don't know whether it was his foot or his back that dislodged the the bales.

Australia got 1^st wicket of Jonny Bairstow goes for 9. Mitchell Starc got 

first wicket of England innings

 

Yeah, he's just not going to let him settle there's nothing wrong with that delivery apart from it's been dispatched for six over mid-on, they'll check it, but I think it hit the boundary on the fall.

This time he does get on the pull missed out earlier in the over he didn't quite time it but it will run away for four. Indication of the good form that dawind malan is in.

Tow end of the bat he did well to get hold of that that was an unusual shot wasn't the greatest of deliveries, but butler's got it away for four. It's 37-1 after five overs.

That was a hat simple as that malan has got away with it. It's another boundary off the last ball of an over It's 44-1 and that's the power play done.

Up and over stoinis and that's run away for four. I thought ago I might have had a chance of cutting that off. I think glenn maxwell feels the same.

When you're chasing a big toe any total at least good shot again. There's another one there's two two to catch up brilliant from malan.

Sweep innovation did it in the previous over against maxwell and he does it to zampa here malan moves on to 29 now.

Not strongly down the ground that's a sweet strike one bout skips away for four to the over start boundary boundary.

Beautiful shot talk about his timing and his touch his back speed. I mean that was nearly the perfect yorker, but he found way to just get the bottom of the bat on it with pace.

What a shot not playing against the spin if you're playing reverse sweeps that is just brilliant hit with the spin offside somehow.

Has it gone over yes, it has over extra cover malan now moves into the 40s england on the charge they're doing it easy at the moment.

Two men out there goes for four no length at the moment they can bowl to butler and it's pace on again that's last one 90 mile an hour again from pat cummins.

Next side cal corner straight to him gone. They needed a wicket. They've got a wicket and it's dawid malan that's hold out in the deep.

Australia got 2^nd wicket of Dawid Malan goes for 42. Ashton Agar got them breakthrough

 

Yeah, what a shot and away for four and 50 up for josh butler a white ball machine 53 and 38 deliveries.

And the reverse he's playing with that man in the deep, he's really just playing with him It's knowing where the fielders are agar's moved him straighter because of the extra cover drive steiner's moved in that direction and buttler said now you're on in the wrong spot.

Sweep and gone and that innings that kevin peterson was talking about has ended swiftly for tom banton he's gone for two.

Australia got 3^rd wicket of Tom Banton goes for 2. Ashton Agar got them breakthrough

 

Pierces that uh field there was barely a gap there between those two men almost two extra covers that zampa has got buttler.

Feels like nothing is impossible as does eoin morgan with this white ball, he continues to just set the stall out as captain and say right you're going to follow my lead and you're going to follow my lead over the last four or five years.

Catch it gone big wicket for australia maxwell the catcher at extra cover that is a good sharp catch from a hard hit cover drive from eoin morgan.

Australia got 4^th wicket of Eoin Morgan goes for 7. Adam Zampa got them breakthrough

 

Thought it was coming moeen ali skips down and sweetly times it over long off for a mighty six such a good player of spin bowling.

Driven firmly wide of mid off four six four to moeen ali taking England home. Yeah, probably the game probably the game now to england probably the series to England.

What a way to finish this game jos buttler smashes zampa down the ground for a huge six and england can celebrate another victory here. All smiles on the bench owen morgan has led england to another victory. That's the series. It's a two-nil series win with one game to go. England can beat australia three-nil. They will go above australia in the rankings and back to number one excellent innings from jos buttler who finished it finishes this game unbeaten on 77 from just 54 balls.

Australia's bet to go to Zampa for the nineteenth over with Cummins and Richardson having their overs left doesn't pay off, and likely may even look stupi. Yet, to be reasonable, the main motivation behind why England appeared to be wobbling out there towards the end was a direct result of what Australia did an evening or two ago. In any case this was a damn clinical pursue; proficient. Buttler the opener, Buttler the grapple, Buttler the finisher. So Bairstow turned onto his own stumps early, Malan and Buttler appeared to do it effectively, and afterward Moeen Ali ensured the littlest of openings the Aussies sniffed with two or three brisk troublesome wickets, was closed in their face with a six and a four off sequential balls. However, indeed, it's England's bowlers who merit the credit, crushing the spirit of the Aussie batting arrangement with ordinary additions. Plainly this was in excess of a 157-run pitch.
