The series continues in Canberra on Wednesday (9.10am UK time). We knew Australia would come really hard, they've got such a powerful batting line-up, so we are really pleased with the way we bowled. This was a great game of cricket and I expect two more. "[The death overs] are moments you want to be involved in. "Anytime you play Australia they're challenging games. We can take some really good confidence from that. Harry Brook (10 off 12), Moeen Ali (10 off 7) and Sam Curran (2 off 5) all came and went before Chris Woakes (13no off 5) took England over 200 in a T20I in Australia for the first time with a final-over four off Richardson. Hales (84 off 51 balls) struck 12 fours and three sixes after being preferred to Phil Salt as Buttler's opening partner, while the skipper (68 off 32) managed eight fours and four sixes - four boundaries of which came in the opening over of the game - in his first outing since August as the pair shared an opening stand of 132 from 68 balls in a total of 208-6. Curran (2-35) then conceded only seven runs and took two wickets, including Wade, in a final over which had begun with Australia requiring 16 as the hosts were limited to 200-9 and England moved 1-0 up ahead of Wednesday's second match in Canberra (9.10am UK time). Australia looked on course to top that as David Warner (73 off 44 balls) shared quickfire half-century stands with Mitchell Marsh (36 off 26) and Marcus Stoinis (35 off 15) to reduce the requirement to 51 from 35 balls with seven wickets in hand at Optus Stadium. England post 208-6 in Perth as Alex Hales (84 off 51) and returning skipper Jos Buttler (68 off 32) share opening stand of 132; Australia limited to 200-9 as Mark Wood and Sam Curran star with the ball; England move 1-0 up in three-match series, which continues in Canberra on Wednesday Alex Hales and fit-again captain Jos Buttler fired with the bat before Mark Wood and Sam Curran excelled with the ball as England edged T20 World Cup favourites Australia by eight runs in a thrilling, high-scoring first game of their three-match T20 series in Perth.

Wade is Australia’s finisher and was looking to do just that in the final over, with his side needing 12 from the final five balls. The decision not to do so may have cost them on another day. No man will be hungrier to help do that than Hales after he missed his country’s glorious 2019 50-over campaign following a positive recreational drugs test in the run-up to the tournament. Things will get harder as the series moves to Canberra this week. Had they done so, there’s no question Wade, who pushed Wood away from the ball, would have been out obstructing the field. There was much to like about this eight-run win against the tournament hosts and defending champions.
