DRINKS BREAK! With Australia needing 140 runs from 108 balls, the game is finely poised and has all the makings of a thrilling finish. Australia lost their two set batters in quick succession, but Alex Carey and Josh Inglis have steadied the innings with a solid partnership. England have struggled to stem the flow of runs and desperately need a breakthrough to mount pressure. With dew starting to form, things are only getting tougher for the bowlers. To make matters worse, Jofra Archer has been off the field with what appears to be cramps, and his fitness for the remaining five overs remains uncertain. Adil Rashid has been England’s most effective bowler on the night, and his four remaining overs could well shape the outcome of this contest.
