England win by 27 runs and it was a very efficient all-round display. Batted powerfully, mostly bowled with verve and the fielding was solid. That means the series is shared 1-1. I really wish these one-day legs of tours were three matches of each length (20 and 50) because often these T20 series are drawn. Anyway. It's been an entertaining couple of games. Some excellent cricket on show. I'll bring you the presentation shortly.
George Bailey "We lost a couple of early wickets which put England on top. We had some good patches with the ball, I thought Fawad did really well. His pace was really good today. It was tough with that wind."
Stuart Broad "After losing the toss the guys adapted to conditions really well. To get 60 off the first six was a great effort. Today we didn't even need the powers of Buttler. You can't ask much more of Jade than the last two games. We wanted to take the wicket-taking options whenever we could. Both batting performances have been exceptional. We still need to nail our skills a bit better with the ball, but the wickets have been fantastic."
That just about wraps things up from today. We now move into ODI action; England travel to Ireland and Australia head up to Scotland with both those matches on Tuesday. England and Australia will then lock horns in five ODIs starting next Friday. We'll bring you all the action as always. For now, though, from myself and Alan Gardner it's goodbye.

Dernbach to Fawad, (no ball) 1 run
high full toss, called no-ball for over waist height so the catch at backward point won't count...Ahmed sliced it high into the off side. Well above waist height

Finn to Johnson, no run
round the wicket, another slower ball, and Johnson only finds fresh air as he tries to carve it through the off side

W
Finn to Coulter-Nile, OUT
the short ball works, down at 75mph, and it takes the top edge to short fine-leg...Finn came back very well after those two sixes

Finn to Coulter-Nile, no run

Finn to Coulter-Nile, SIX runs
blimey, that's big! Finn offers up a length delivery and Coulter-Nile reminds everyone he can clear the ropes as he launches over deep midwicket. Wasn't even out of the middle!

W
Dernbach to Faulkner, OUT
what a catch! Superb from Morgan at backward point. It was a very sharp bouncer, Faulkner was in a horrid tangle as he tried to pull. Comes off the shoulder of the bat and it appeared it would fly just over Morgan, but he turned then pulled out a big leap to hold the catch
James Faulkner c Morgan b Dernbach 5 (5b 1x4 0x6 9m) SR: 100
That might be the game for Australia. But you never know. Here's Mitchell J.

Dernbach to Maxwell, OUT
that's the end of his fun. He flicks a low full toss straight down the throat of deep square-leg who barely had to take a step either way
