England in Australia T20I Series - 2nd T20I

Australia v England

Australia won by 4 runs

T20I no. 198 | 2010/11 season
Played at Melbourne Cricket Ground
14 January 2011 - day/night (20-over match)


Australia innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
DA Warner	c Pietersen b Yardy	30	41	26	3	0	115.38
9.2 57.4 mph, tame end for Warner as he plays an unbalanced sliced loft down the ground, which Pietersen intercepts on the boundary's edge. Vital strike again from England, who are battling back now 72/3
SR Watson	c Morgan b Woakes	17	18	10	0	2	170.00
4.1 80.5 mph, crucial breakthrough. Full length again from Woakes, a flick across the line from Watson, but Morgan at deep square leg is in place to take the catch 37/1
TD Paine†	c Collingwood b Swann	21	12	12	2	1	175.00
6.5 56.1 mph, a swipe across the line, a massive steepler, Collingwood calls for it at short midwicket, steadies himself, fumbles the initial take, but clutches onto the rebound! 63/2
DJ Hussey	c Woakes b Yardy	8	18	16	0	0	50.00
11.5 58.1 mph, short this time, but it's a rare bad ball that is too eagerly accepted by Hussey. A greedy slap to deep midwicket, where Woakes makes no mistake! 80/5
CL White*	lbw b Swann	0	3	2	0	0	0.00
10.2 55.3 mph, cracking delivery, genuine spin as White, the Victorian, is nailed on the back foot. Paul Reiffel, the umpire - another Victorian - sticks up the finger! 74/4
AJ Finch	not out	53	35	33	4	2	160.60

SPD Smith	c Collingwood b Shahzad	13	22	18	0	0	72.22
18.4 61.6 mph, another slower ball, a cutter this time, another smash, and short cover crouches to intercept. 131/6
SNJ O'Keefe	b Bresnan	1	3	2	0	0	50.00
19.1 70.0 mph, what on earth happened there? Ah, O'Keefe was bowled, that's what. An attempted Dilscoop, but he just ends up looking like a Dil, as his leg bail is removed by a length ball 138/7
MG Johnson	not out	1	3	1	0	0	100.00

Extras	(lb 2, w 1)	3

England innings (target: 148 runs from 20 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
IR Bell	b Johnson	39	34	30	3	0	130.00
7.2 87.2 mph, Johnson strikes! Lands a straight ball, touch slower too, Bell was aiming an almighty thwack over cow corner but ended up dragging into his stumps 60/1
SM Davies†	c Warner b Watson	29	58	26	2	0	111.53
13.1 86.2 mph, game on now! Davies gone this time, his final mistimed shot of the innings. Hanging back and driving to try and clear mid-off but Warner dives forward to take the chance 88/4
KP Pietersen	c White b Johnson	1	2	2	0	0	50.00
7.5 81.7 mph, Cheers and boos ring loud as Pietersen falls! Johnson dished up a full drive-me ball that Pietersen climbed into, only to pick out White at cover who held an excellent low catch 62/2
PD Collingwood*	c Warner b Watson	6	8	10	0	0	60.00
9.6 84.7 mph, Collingwood's difficult run continues. Watson aimed full and Collingwood tried to clear mid-off with a drive. The timing is not there though and it goes gently to mid-off who jumps to take the chance above his head 74/3
EJG Morgan	c Finch b Johnson	14	28	21	1	0	66.66
17.2 76.6 mph, that's the match! Morgan has gone! Got a leg-stump half-volley and tried to heave it over deep midwicket, really struck it well but the MCG is a big ground and he couldn't clear the fielder 113/6
LJ Wright	c Smith b Tait	18	13	15	1	0	120.00
16.4 87.1 mph, Big shot doesn't come off! Wright tries to clear mid-off but Steve Smith times his jump perfectly to take the catch above his head 111/5
