ENG vs AUS Live Cricket Score

8.5 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Adil Rashid strikes and this is turning out to be a good little comeback phase for England! The pressure was building and something had to happen here. This is the googly, slower through the air, full and on middle, turns in a shy bit, Matthew Short looks to take it on and goes for the big slog across the line, but goes through it very early, misses it completely and the ball shatters the stumps. Short goes back after a decent knock! Australia lose their second wicket and are 87/2 in 8.5 overs. 87/2

4.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Brydon Carse makes an immediate impact with a huge wicket! He lands it a bit short of a good length, with a serious pace on, and keeps it around off, Travis Head is hurried into the shot but sees the fielder in the inner circle, tries to take on and attempts to hit it over the off side by clearing the inner ring, but the ball certainly comes rapidly and also gets heavy on him with some excessive bounce and ends up hitting it flat and aerially off the toe end of the bat toward Adil Rashid at short covers who takes a sharp catch at his chest height. Travis Head departs on a blistering 31 off just 14 balls. Australia are 52/1 after 4.2 overs. 52/1

12.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! A 50 and out for Jake Fraser-McGurk! Liam Livingstone again into the wickets now. Tossed-up delivery outside off, Livingstone keeps it away from the arc of the batter, and delivers a googly, Jake Fraser-McGurk does not quite read the wrong'un well, leans forward and looks to smash it over long on, gets the toe end of his bat, mistimes it straight down to long on where Jamie Overton gets underneath and takes a good catch. Jake Fraser-McGurk departs on 50 (31). 119/3

17.1 OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Sam Curran strikes straightaway in his second over! England gets two in two balls and are in a great position to restrict the Aussies here. This is a slower delivery, full and around leg, Josh Inglis tries to pick it up and whip it away, but goes through his shot early as he fails to read the change of pace, gets a top edge and the ball goes high in the air towards deep square leg, Brydon Carse runs forward and takes a fine catching sliding forward. Australia six down now! 157/6

14.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Liam Livingstone does the trick again for England! He gets his second wicket! Liam Livingstone tosses it up on a fullish length, drifting it around middle and leg, Marcus Stoinis clears his front leg to make some room and attempts to take the aerial route but doesn't quite commit fully into the shot and ends up chipping it high in the skies over long on. Jamie Overton stationed at the mentioned position moves a few yards ahead and to his right, and settles underneath it comfortably. Australia have now slipped from 119/2 to 131/4 in just 11 deliveries. 131/4

17 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Brydon Carse finishes the over with a big wicket here! He bangs this one hard on the pitch, effort ball, this one takes off a bit and skids through again, Tim David looks to pull it away but gets into a very awkward position, the ball goes past the toe-end of his bat, and there is a noise as well, Phil Salt grabs it and appeals. The umpire takes his time and then puts up his finger. However, David takes the review after a chat with his partner. UltraEdge shows a spike and Australia lose David and a review as well! The lean run for Tim David with the bat continues. 157/5

8.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Matthew Short makes an immediate impact and dismisses the English skipper! Matthew Short drops a flatter one, around the middle and off stump channel, Phil Salt looks to access the area down the ground and attempts to take the aerial route. He though fails to get his bat properly underneath the ball and mistimes it into the air. The ball spoons over the long off region where Sean Abbott takes a comfortable catch. Phil Salt departs on 39 off 23 deliveries and England are in a bit of a pickle at 79/3. 79/3

3.1 OUT! TAKEN! Sean Abbott draws first blood straightaway! This is exactly how Will Jacks got out in the first game and falls early again. Fuller in length and on the pads, takes pace off as well, Will Jacks looks to pick it up and scoop it away, but fails to generate the power required, it goes high up in the air towards deep fine where Jake Fraser-McGurk comes forward and pouches it safely. He was the only fielder in the deep on that side and unfortunately, Jacks picked him up. England lose their first! Will Jacks departs on 12 (10) and England are 34/2 in 3.1 overs. 34/1

3.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Sean Abbott with the double whammy! Great setup with the slower one, but goes with pace on this time, hard length and just on off, nips back in sharply, Jordan Cox gets stuck in his crease and gets cut in half as well. Before he can do anything, the ball goes through to rattle the stumps. Cox goes back for a duck! England have now lost two quick wickets in just a span of three deliveries and are now 34/2 in 3.3 overs. 34/2

18.4 OUT! BOWLED'EM! A consolation wicket for Australia as Liam Livingstone departs after playing a match-winning knock of 87! A remarkable 50th T20I for Livingstone though! Matthew Short stays around the pegs and darts in a pinpoint yorker on the stumps, Liam Livingstone again charges down to drill it down the ground but misses to connect and the ball goes to shatter the stumps in a blink. Short gets his 4th wicket. 193/6

16.1 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! The gamble to bring in Matthew Short has worked for Australia and the 90-run stand between Bethell and Livingstone comes to an end. Matthew Short bowls it from around the wickets, and darts in a flatter and a fuller length ball, on the off stump line, Jacob Bethell premeditates the shot, sits down, switches his stance to reverse sweep it away but it is too full to execute that shot and Bethell gets beaten all ends up as the ball clips the outside of off stump. Jacob Bethell departs on an impressive 44 from 24 balls. 169/4

16.4 OUT! TAKEN! Matthew Short with a double whammy and this is turning out to be a really clever bowling change from Australia! Matthew Short picks up his third wicket and half of the English side is back into the sheds now. Short lands it full and fires it in around off, Sam Curran gets his dancing shoes on and skips down the track to attack aerially. But ends up losing his shape as he tries to hit it too hard. Ends up slicing it over the cover-point region where Cooper Connolly settles underneath, moves backward it and takes a good reverse cup catch. He tumbles with the momentum but sustains the ball in his hands. It was an unnecessary shot from Curran given England are in a comfortable position. 171/5

18.5 OUT! IN THE AIR...AND TAKEN! 5-FER FOR SHORT! He has bowled brilliantly in this match and it's a well-deserved one! Matthew Short slows it up, full and around leg stump line, Brydon Carse dances down the track to take the aerial route but is months early in the shot as he gets beaten by the lack of pace. Goes through the shot and gets the connection on the higher part of the willow and the ball travels into the air over the mid-wicket region. Tim David from mid on calls for his catch, runs to his right and takes a good running catch. Matthew Short is on a Hat-Trick now. 193/7
