- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.5 Warner couldn't quite clear the ropes this innings and he's picked out Shahzad on the midwicket boundary as he swung this to leg 92/28.4 Watson falls in the fifties again! Gives himself plenty of room very early and Yardy slings down a swift quicker ball that zips off the pitch and crashes into the top of off stump 83/116.5 emphatic response from Bresnan. Perfect yorker rocks the middle pole. Hussey gives himself room, too much room and can't squeeze anything down in time 133/414.6 Woakes has his first international wicket! White departs trying to heave this over long-on, Pietersen jogs in, sets himself and holds an easy catch. Decent effort from Woakes removing a key scalp 115/3Extras4 (b 1, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL157/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Fall of wickets: 1-83 (Shane Watson, 8.4 ov), 2-92 (David Warner, 10.5 ov), 3-115 (Cameron White, 14.6 ov), 4-133 (David Hussey, 16.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 down the track, another lofted flog, and this time Smith in the covers does the business. The end of a lively innings from Bell. He's got England up and running 49/21.2 ah ... maybe he is a bit rusty after all. A similar delivery, but this one is lifted into the hands of short cover. Lee starts his lawnmower, and Australia have their breakthrough! 16/15.3 three-card trick! Pietersen thought he was in the zone, played one stroke too many, and David Hussey at mid-off timed his leap to perfection to intercept 63/311.5 reverse-sweep, and that's due reward for a fine over. A big top-edge from Collingwood, and Paine walks round to gather 99/415.2 well, well, that's a timely breakthrough! The rate is already a run a ball, but England's finisher falls to a tame drive to short cover ... 130/612.4 that was exceptionally plumb! For a moment it looked as though Wright had got a tickle of bat on a leg-glance, but nope, it was pad all the way 104/517.3 outside off, swished over the covers, but there's not enough bat on that, and Bresnan falls! Now this will test the mettle of England's tail 141/815.3 blimey! Two in two! A surprise bouncer to Yardy, he tried not to play it but his bat grazed the ball periscope style as he swayed out of line! 130/719.1 that's the way to lose it! Swann went for glory, with a hoist through the leg-side, but he's bowled middle stump! 154/9Extras7 (lb 5, w 2)TOTAL158/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Steven Davies, 1.2 ov), 2-49 (Ian Bell, 4.3 ov), 3-63 (Kevin Pietersen, 5.3 ov), 4-99 (Paul Collingwood, 11.5 ov), 5-104 (Luke Wright, 12.4 ov), 6-130 (Eoin Morgan, 15.2 ov), 7-130 (Michael Yardy, 15.3 ov), 8-141 (Tim Bresnan, 17.3 ov), 9-154 (Graeme Swann, 19.1 ov)
