    I dare say that's the last we've seen of Ben Wheeler in international cricket for a while
  • What a run chase.

    Wheeler smashed for 64 off 3.1 overs!
  • Poor captaincy though bowling him again after his first 2 overs went for 38

    World record international T20 run chase. Imagine how NZ felt at the half way stage and then ending up losing with 7 balls to spare!
  • Means we can still make the final of we beat NZ by more than they beat us.
  • Australia's top 7 in T 20 is absolutely frightening - any one from Warner, Short, Finch, Maxwell, Lynn, Stoinis and even Carey are capable of winning a game for them and will do it regularly too.

    I did love the way he kept smiling though as the ball continued to disappear over his head.

    So Australia vs NZ in the final then!

    Totally ridiculous scorecard!

  • England put into bat and need to win by 20 plus runs.

    Unfortunately neither Hales nor Roy seem to recognise what to do when you get a slower ball and are both caught "spooning it."

    24-2 off 3.1
  • 71-2 off 9
  • Santner being taken apart - goes for 21 in his second over and now has 0-32 off 2

    106-2 off 11

    Malan 46* (31)
    Morgan 34* (18)
  • Malan gets his 50 off a free hit
  • Malan out for 53 (36) once again caught off a slower ball

    117-3 off 12.1
  • Malan has now had 5 T20 innings and has 4 50s in that time for an average of exactly 50. Really should be opening now instead of Roy.
  • Buttler decides to walk past one - poor play as it was the last ball of Sodhi's spell.

    123-4 off 14

  • 133-4 off 16

    If we are going to stay in the comp we really need to be looking at 180 plus
  • Morgan hits one out of the ground to go to his 50
  • Morgan having one of those days where he is seeing everything - 66 off 39

  • Well Billings that was pretty damn ridiculous - he tries to ramp a virtual wide and only succeeds in playing on.

    166-5 off 18

    Morgan 77* (42)

    Do we just need to win to make the 'final' or win by a certain amount or in a certain number of overs?

    I believe that it will be by approximately 20 runs. Will clarify at the break.
  • Willey out for a quickfire 10

    176-6 off 19
  • 187-7 off 19.4 Dawson goes 6 4 out

  • Finish on 194-7 as Jordan hits his only ball for 6

    Morgan 80* (46)
  • Decent total that gives us a chance, but NZ obviously have some very big hitters.
  • Confirmed that we have to restrict NZ to 174 or less to go through
  • Can see us winning the game but NZ getting 175!
  • Can see us winning the game but NZ getting 175!

    Perhaps not!

    NZ 26-0 off 10 balls!
