• England win one-off Twenty20 international by 28 runs
Australia will depart these shores with six defeats from six after a one-off Twenty20 in which England reproduced the dominance of the whitewashed one-day series. Jos Buttler and Adil Rashid were their tormentors once more.
The former’s 30-ball 61 – including England’s fastest half-century in the format from 22 balls – was the rocket-fuelled start to a total of 221 for five, their highest ever at home. Rashid’s subsequent three for 27, including Aaron Finch for 81 when the opener was threatening a fightback, saw the tourists bowled out for 193 with two balls to spare.
