Adil Rashid to Carey, out Stumped!! England have sealed a historical comeback! The big hit had to come for Australia and Carey after those misfiring slog sweeps, decides to charge down the pitch. It's a wide googly though and spins further away from Carey's big shot attempt. Easiest of stumpings for Buttler. What a tragedy for the Australians! Carey st Buttler b Adil Rashid 36(41) [4s-2]
WICKET08:09 PM
Adil Rashid to Carey, no run, floaty googly, very slow through the air and Carey is very early into the slog sweep. Misses it by a mile
08:08 PM
Adil Rashid to Hazlewood, leg byes, 1 run, tight single but Carey makes it just in time! Hazlewood missed this googly and deflected it off the pads to point. Carey was always going to run for this
08:08 PM
Adil Rashid to Carey, 1 run, what an anti-climax! Looks to sweep but doesn't get the leverage at all, drags this towards short fine leg and can only get a single

Key Moments
08:13 PM
Australia lost four wickets in just 20 balls, scoring just three runs during that phase. It was a shock that they couldn't recover from at all. Their only hope from there was if England's support cast messed up. But the Curran brothers stepped on the heat, Tom creating the pressure for his brother Sam to capitalise with the wickets. Carey was Australia's only real hope but it was a little too much to do for Australia's wicket-keeper batsman. But he can't be blamed alone, as it should ideally not have come down to him. While England's bowling in the last 20 overs was spot on, the Aussies didn't help their cause either. They let the game slip at many points, the starting being when the hosts were 149/8. How vital that Rashid-T Curran stand proved out to be. So, it's 1-1 going to the final game.
