Aus 70-1 (12 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

Finch drives Ball through the covers for three runs before Steve Smith plays a nice drive past mid-off for a four and gets two runs from the last ball of the over as the fielder at mid-off half stops it.

Wood follows it up with a tight over, conceding just a single as Australia reach 56 for one in 10 overs at the end of first Powerplay.

Liam Plunkett comes into the attack after an expensive first spell from Ball, who conceded 35 runs in his five overs.

The first ball is pitched right up as Finch plays a superb straight drive for a four. Two singles before Finch flicks a full delivery past mid-on for another four as Australia continue to grow in confidence.

Another change as Ben Stokes comes into the attack. He makes a tidy start, giving away just three singles as Australia reach 70 for one in 12 overs.
