A monster total from England. They looked as if they were going to go even bigger at one stage, with Hales and Buttler smashing it everywhere.
Australia fell to a 2-1 defeat away to India last month but secured a couple of wins over the West Indies earlier this week. Jos Buttler is back leading England once again – he would’ve bowled first too. Hales edges out Salt at the top of the order for England, and Stokes is back at No.4. Alex Hales and Jos Buttler are out in the middle. Full again and Buttler times it beautifully through the covers. England finish the over by scrambling for a couple. 6th over: England 58-0 (Buttler 32, Hales 25) Nearly a brilliant catch from Mitch Marsh! The first was over long-on, the second over deep midwicket. 17th over: England 181-3 (Moeen 3, Brook 12) Things have calmed down since that monstrous opening stand, but England are still on for a very decent total. 3-20 from four overs for the Australia quick. He digs his slower ball into the surface and Moeen’s upper cut can only fly to Marsh at short third man. From the penultimate ball of the over, Topley gets in the bouncer and this time Marsh pulls for four through square leg.

Buttler chisels it out and the captain ends the first over with a fourth four, climbing into the width to smash four off extra-cover. Green racks up a couple of dot balls to start the over as Hales plays and misses but then hangs a short one outside off and Hales cuts it over point for four. With fine leg up he scoops for four so fine leg goes back and next ball Buttler scoops it over to him for six. Consequently Buttler is through it to soon and it spoons off the face to the keeper's right. Wade took the ball in front of the stumps and then tried to roll it at the timbers with a back-hand, no look shy. Warner pulls for a single and Green plays tip and run to square leg to filch the strike. Hales hopes about his crease, jumping to leg and back, and then lofts a drive for four over mid-off. The Yorkshireman loses his footing when tucking a single off his hip, and also drops his bat. Topley takes the pace off after a leg-bye is scrambled into the offside and Warner cuffs it for a single. Topley changes ends and beats Marsh outside off but when he drops short Marsh smacks it off the back foot over cover with a cross-bat thwack. Warner jabs out the yorker for a single off the first ball. Stoinis slashes four over third man when the left-armer slants one across him then flaps one off his ribs for a single.

Australia were on track while David Warner and Marcus Stoinis were together, while there was nearly a controversial finish.
Pressure had built on Stoinis after a lean period and the emergence of Green but he was in powerful form with a trio of sixes as Australia suddenly were in the box seat. Finch was listed to return as opener, but contentiously Green, who is not in Australia's World Cup squad, remained at the top. An accurate Ellis emerged relatively unscathed earlier in the innings before bowling a superb 19th over to claim Curran and Moeen Ali. Captain Aaron Finch had hoped to take advantage of the overcast conditions and smattering of grass, but his inexperienced attack mostly copped a flogging. Hales started slowly, by comparison, before finding his range as the pair smashed 58 runs in the powerplay. The final two games of the series will be played in Canberra starting on Wednesday.
