- 2nd T20i: England, 194-7, beat Australia, 193-6, by 3 wkts
- Livingstone hits 87 off 47 balls to lead England home
The series is level but it already belongs to Liam Livingstone. A handy all-round display in Southampton was followed by a match-winning 87 in Cardiff as England secured a much-needed victory over Australia in the second of three T20is.
Help was provided by Jacob Bethell, in his first week as an international cricketer, the pair putting on 90 inside eight overs to set up a successful chase of 194. The 20-year-old left-hander swept hard against spin, punishing Adam Zampa with a 20-run over on his way to a quickfire 44.
