So, that's that from the second T20I then. England have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match series and will look to win the last game as well, to effect a comprehensive whitewash against their arch-rivals. Australia, on the other hand, will want to put their best foot forward and ensure that they win the last game and go into the subsequent ODI series with a strong psychological footing. Who will have it their way? Join us on Tuesday, 8th September 2020 at 1800 Local (1700 GMT) for the third and final T20I. Until then, stay safe and take care!
JOS BUTTLER IS NAMED PLAYER OF THE MATCH! He says that he is happy with his performance and feels opening the batting is the best position to bat in T20 cricket. Like his skipper, he says that Archer set the tone with the ball for them. Praises Malan and Moeen for taking the pressure off during the run chase. Says that seeing the last game, he wanted to stay till the end and take the side home.
Eoin Morgan, England's skipper, says that it was a comprehensive win for them. Feels the batters started well. Praises the bowlers too for bowling well in the first six overs. Says that Jofra set the tone in the first over itself. On the question regarding Buttler continuing to open the batting, Morgan says that they will keep looking for options. On his injured finger, Morgan says that it is a bit sore and that they will have a check in the next couple of days.
Aaron Finch, the Aussie skipper, starts by telling that they were a few runs short but feels they couldn't do much with the ball in the Powerplay. Tells that he read the pitch wrong as the ball seamed a little more than they anticipated. Praises Buttler for the knock and says that he is taking on the good balls and one has to tip their hats off for him sometimes. Tells that they needed wickets at regular intervals and it was always going to be difficult to defend in the last couple of overs. Says that they felt that it might be tough to hit the spinners and hence he gave the over to Zampa but it didn't pay off. On the final game of the series, Finch says that they will try to field their best XI.
Stay tuned as the presentation ceremony is on its way...
Can't really fault the Aussies with the ball much. It would be harsh on them because once Buttler gets going, it would've always been difficult to stop him. They did well to dismiss Bairstow early but they looked clueless against Malan and Buttler. That partnership alone stole the initial momentum away from the visitors. Agar was good with the ball with 2 wickets to his name and Starc bowled well too. Zampa looked very out of touch with the ball and was hammered to all parts of the park by the English batters. The Australian bowlers though would feel that had some more runs been on the board, they could have defended better and one cannot discount that feeling.
England lost Bairstow early on but the second wicket partnership between Buttler and Malan more than sealed the game in their favour. And needless to add, the hosts have Buttler to thank for the victory as he stayed right till the end, hitting the winning runs as well. He lost Banton and then his skipper at the other end, but he held on to his end firmly. And then later, Moeen did well to strike a couple of blows to bring the Three Lions on the threshold of a victory.
Sensational run chase from England, unlike the Aussies who stuttered in the last game. It looked like we might be seeing some drama towards the end but Moeen's blow in the 19th over early on meant that the drama never happened and England cruised home quite easily. Fitting end in the end as it was Buttler who smoked a massive six to seal the match and the series.

OUT! CAUGHT! No need to review this one! Excellent catch by Maxwell. Zampa tosses this outside off on a fuller length, Morgan makes room and looks to clear the extra cover fielder. However, Maxwell there, times his jump to perfection and takes a sharp catch. Sharp because it was it really hard by Morgan. 23 needed in last 3.

Adam Zampa To Eoin Morgan
NOT OUT! Just a gamble from Finch and Australia. A gamble out of desperation and it does not yield what they wanted. Australia had a false sense of hope that that would turn their way - but it was not to be. The ball lands outside off and comes back in as Morgan looked to sweep that. He misses though and gets rapped on the pads. Australia appeal but it is not entertained. So, they take it upstairs but learn the hard way that the on-field call was the right one.
Review time! The English skipper is the man in question for a LBW! Finch takes the review and let's see how it goes. In comes Ultra Edge and it shows that the batsman did not nick that, Ok, so, what does Ball Tracker have to say? Impact is Umpire's call and it was missing off. So Morgan stays!

Kane Richardson To Jos Buttler
SIX! Yeah, it was coming! It was always coming! Buttler would not want Richardson to settle! Full on the off-stump, he lofts this over cow corner for a maximum. The ball just about touched the ropes on the full.

Mitchell Starc To Jonny Bairstow OUT!
OUT! HIT WICKET! My, my! Bairstow will not want to look back at it. He might have a laugh about it later on but today he will be fuming. Bouncer from Starc! Bairstow sways away and he swings his bat too far behind as he disturbs his own stumps. One way you never want to get out. Australia have their first breakthorugh albiet with some luck!

Pat Cummins To Jos Buttler
Appeal for LBW but not entertained! What a ball! Maybe going down leg. A yorker around leg. It bamboozles Buttler who looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. Cummins appeal and the umpire gives it a good thought before turning it down.

NOT OUT! Buttler is well in. On off, Bairstow plays it to point and goes for a single. Maxwell flicks a direct hit at the keeper's end. Buttler looks to be home but the umpire still goes upstairs for assurity. Replay rolls in and shows that Jos is safe, though he jumped, which can be risky.

Mitchell Starc To Jonny Bairstow
FOUR OFF LEG BYES! Starc strays a length ball on the pads, Bairstow looks to tuck that behind square on the leg side but ends up getting it on his pads. It hits his pads and goes past the diving Carey to the fine leg region for a boundary off extras.

NOT OUT! It was going down leg and Ball Tracker confirmed that! Starc bowls a length ball on middle, it pitches and comes in and gets Bairstow on his pads as he looked to play at that. Australia appeal but the umpire was unmoved. They take it upstairs but then Ball Tracker rules that as an umpire's call. Bairstow stays but good bowling from Starc.
Review time! Bairstow is the man in question for a LBW! UltraEdge comes in and shows a flat line as the ball passes the bat. In comes the Ball Tracker and the impact is Umpire's call. So, the on-field decision stays.
