England set Australia 209 to win first men's T20 – live updates (The Guardian)

A monster total from England. They looked as if they were going to go even bigger at one stage, with Hales and Buttler smashing it everywhere.

Australia fell to a 2-1 defeat away to India last month but secured a couple of wins over the West Indies earlier this week. Jos Buttler is back leading England once again – he would’ve bowled first too. Hales edges out Salt at the top of the order for England, and Stokes is back at No.4. Alex Hales and Jos Buttler are out in the middle. Full again and Buttler times it beautifully through the covers. England finish the over by scrambling for a couple. 6th over: England 58-0 (Buttler 32, Hales 25) Nearly a brilliant catch from Mitch Marsh! The first was over long-on, the second over deep midwicket. 17th over: England 181-3 (Moeen 3, Brook 12) Things have calmed down since that monstrous opening stand, but England are still on for a very decent total. 3-20 from four overs for the Australia quick. He digs his slower ball into the surface and Moeen’s upper cut can only fly to Marsh at short third man. From the penultimate ball of the over, Topley gets in the bouncer and this time Marsh pulls for four through square leg.

Buttler and Hales lay down opening mark before Wood stars in high ... (ESPNcricinfo.com)

Australia were on track while David Warner and Marcus Stoinis were together, while there was nearly a controversial finish.

Pressure had built on Stoinis after a lean period and the emergence of Green but he was in powerful form with a trio of sixes as Australia suddenly were in the box seat. Finch was listed to return as opener, but contentiously Green, who is not in Australia's World Cup squad, remained at the top. An accurate Ellis emerged relatively unscathed earlier in the innings before bowling a superb 19th over to claim Curran and Moeen Ali. Captain Aaron Finch had hoped to take advantage of the overcast conditions and smattering of grass, but his inexperienced attack mostly copped a flogging. Hales started slowly, by comparison, before finding his range as the pair smashed 58 runs in the powerplay. The final two games of the series will be played in Canberra starting on Wednesday.

Australia vs England: England look to seal T20 series after passing ... (BT Sport)

England's World Cup selection looks clearer after a thrilling opening win in Australia, but greater challenges await. Watch the T20 series exclusively live ...

“It was just about giving Greeny more opportunity at the top and trying things in case he had to be called into the [World Cup] squad.” Seamer Ellis was the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 20 from his four overs for Australia, who rested their entire frontline attack. “[The death overs] are moments you want to be involved in. He made scores of 58 and 15 in the 2-0 series win over the West Indies and was run out for 12 against England, but he revealed after the game that he will return to the top of the order in Canberra. He finished with figures of 3-34 and was involved in a moment of controversy when Matthew Wade appeared to impede him when he tried to take a return catch after the Australian top-edged the ball onto his helmet with the game in the balance. Warner was named player of the tournament when they won the World Cup last November and he got off his side off to a flyer to keep them in the contest.
