Trans-Tasman Trophy, 3rd T20I: Australia vs England - Things which went wrong for the visitors

Australia v England - T20 Game 2

#4 Losing wickets at regular intervals

Australia v England - T20 Game 2

Australia's stand-in skipper David Warner won the toss and invited England to bat first. Much like their last outing against the hosts, the visitors could not show any resistance and kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

England were left reeling at 3 for 34 in the 4th over before James Vince (21), Jos Buttler (46) and Sam Billings (29) played vital cameos and steadied the ship.

The only six of England's innings came off Billings' bat when he smashed Ashton Agar over long on in the 14th over.

The visitors clearly struggled in the absence of their regular skipper Eoin Morgan as they finished on 137/7 off their 20 overs.

For Australia, Kane Richardson turned out to be the leading wicket-taker with his 3 for 33, while Billy Stanlake took 2 for 28 and Andrew Tye claimed 1 for 29.
