A late fightback from the bowlers helped England beat Australia by two runs in the first T20 of a three-match series at the Rose Bowl, Southampton. Chasing 163, Australia at one stage needed just 39 runs from the last six overs with nine wickets in hand. However, they ended up on 160/6 and lost the game. The visitors needed 15 from the final over but Tom Curran kept his cool and didn’t allow Marcus Stoinis to take his team across the line.
