Eng vs Aus

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.
