Live: Australia bat first in first real test of T20 World Cup against holders England

Must read

Perhaps a surprise, but Moeen Ali will have the first use of the ball.

David Warner is out there, it could be the last time Warner ever faces England in a competitive match, so he’ll want to make his mark.

Bu it’s Travis Head who is on strike.

A dot ball first up, then Head punches a drive into long off for a quickly-run couple.

Head fends away the next ball.

This is a bold but good move from England – Australia’s openers like pace on the ball.

TURN AND BOUNCE! Head is lucky there, the ball just going past the off stump.

Head fends square to point – no run.

Now head just dabs a single to mid on using his feet.

Great first over from Moeen Ali – Australia 0-3.
